Easy to configure and simple management
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Fortinet Fortigate NGFW from other similar products?
I find Cisco FTD and Palo Alto complex but FortiGate is easier to manage even for freshers due to its simple GUI.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I find FortiGate's SD-WAN better than other vendors because they require a separate device for SD-WAN while FortiGate provides firewall and SD-WAN features in a single device.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I find FortiGate's GUI very simple, like working on a home Wi-Fi router. It should have been better compared to other vendors. Also, FortiGate lacks advanced features found in Check Point, Cisco, and Palo Alto.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are looking for a good firewall on a low budget for a small or mid-sized company, FortiGate is the best choice.
Pros
- Reliable
- Unique Features
- Effective Service
- Saves Time
