What differentiates Fortinet Fortigate NGFW from other similar products?

This platform has characteristics or aspects that make it different from others, it has a board that allows the user to give only a few small clicks to carry out the complete administration of the firewall, so it is a method that saves time and makes this a fully customizable and flexible panel, on the other hand provides a perimeter protection of the network in which it is possible to prevent any threat that comes from web traffic, from applications not allowed in the business environment so that it can always improve the security posture of your company, for this, it performs a high inspection of the business web traffic and also provides last level protection designed with artificial intelligence.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect is how easy the firewall can be managed, which provides extremely high protection so that the business environment or network stays out of any threat that comes from intrusions or even forbidden applications, since this prevents damage and complexities that may lead to the company not being available, besides its creation and implementation of security policies is the easiest to use.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One aspect that I do not like about this platform is that it has a cumbersome configuration, since different menus must be accessed and this makes it take more time to put the software into full operation.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend that the user choose this platform based on the number of sections, I must also say that it is an effective software because it will keep your environment protected from threats and give you large scale solutions.
