FortiGate Firewall Good but change price policy for client access!

Around 4 years I am very happy. Bu due to changed price policy Fortigate, I will advise our customer chose other VPN software to work remotely.

PROS

Very easy to implement and VPN client access was free up to 10 000 users.

CONS

About upgrade the system, I mean upgrading the firmware by means online around one year, not success. The offline update was succeeded which was very disappointing.

Reason for choosing FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall

First of all, this is all-in-one device. Firewall IDS Web filter Antivirus Content Filter VPN server

Fortigate Firewalls are strong protection

Fortigate perform very well and provide very good protection compared with other devices.

PROS

Fortiguard updates are excellent and the device is easy to use.

CONS

Some models that are not EOL are not getting OS updates with no explanation. If the product is not EOL it should get updates no excuses! In 2023 some of thelocal services have had a number of nasty vulnerabilities, coding should be better and protection of local services should be enhanced.

Reason for choosing FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall

Better value, protection and easier to manage

Reasons for switching to FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall

Cisco was expensive and fell behind competitors.

FortiGate is amazing as long as you know how to use it.

It is exceptional. For the enterprise space, there is nothing better.

PROS

FortiGate is THE enterprise solution. It has all the features that you would possibly want and more.

CONS

The price and the deployment. It is not a simple solution by any stretch. The price is worth it for the features, but if you are not at the level then rather look elsewhere.

Fortigate NGFW : Next Generation Detective

It has the best software and UTM devices on the market. It has an easy setup and administration panel. It has fast and powerful hardware. With hundreds of rules and tools it contains, it performs functions far above a standard protection. If updates are made frequently, your performance and security will also reduce the vulnerability to zero. Thanks to the hundreds of features included in the software, you can perform compression and end-to-end security without any problems.

PROS

First of all, they have a very different structure from standard firewalls. Especially in a 500-user structure, the delays were due to the firewall's constant data control and applications to parse its content. Thanks to the developing Fortigate Next Generation Firewall systems, the internal structure and controls of the data are now controlled and analyzed much faster. Controls of data behavior and attacks are controlled faster, minimizing possible delays and performance losses.VPN control, IDS, IPS blocking, malicious content control, bandwidth application and control, content filtering can be managed from a single point in a single UTM device.

CONS

The best Firewall in the market are UTM devices. In case of lack of configuration or making mistakes in the application, you will definitely experience problems. Therefore, I recommend that you make the recommended settings and configurations in the device setup.

Reasons for switching to FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall

Performance - Cost, Speed, Security structure, High software up-to-date, Fast customer support are just a few of its prominent features.
