{"quote":"We are using the FortiGate 600E, and its price falls within the midrange.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The pricing is justified.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Fortinet FortiGate is more affordable both in terms of hardware and licensing, in comparison to its competitors.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The pricing depends on the FortiGate model we are using, ranging from $3,000 to $20,000 US dollars.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Their services are good, and we are happy to work with them, however, the pricing could be cheaper.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The price is highly competitive when compared to other brands that offer similar functionality.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It's less expensive than Check Point.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The licensing model is very good.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"I would also like to see an easier user interface to implement that.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Adopting and evolving is the key to success.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Meraki products are future proof and offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"An advantage is there from the price point but not as much as it was previously.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The prices of others have also increased.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"Over the last two years, the prices have increased drastically.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"A year or two years back, its price was competitive and reasonable.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Fortinet FortiGate is reasonably priced.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Customers can consume these security features to protect their users from internet traffic.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"They have security licenses that are sold separately on a subscription basis.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"They don't have separate licensing for the SD-WAN functionality.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"By default, they give SD-WAN along with the firewall.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Fortinet has a FortiSwitch that can do it, and it also can be controlled by FortiGate via FortiLink protocol.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Such a job is more efficiently done by L4 switch standing before the firewall.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Sometimes, I just need 802.1p prioritizing (Class of Service) of incoming packets and manual ingress queue assignment.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Each manufacturer has their own way of filtering and each one needs improvement in categories, URL, and/or application filtering.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"FortiGate has Traffic Shaping feature that is enough in most cases when shaping egressing packets.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Better web filtering.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"There could be more QoS features in GUI.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"In addition to hardware and licensing, there are some implementation and maintenance costs.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"In most cases, people buy the UTM bundle that comes with IPS, web filtering, and FortiCare.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"FortiGate is a little expensive.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"You have to buy a support license for FortiCare.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"They have a great choice of licenses.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"It is quite affordable for our customers.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"most of our customers are asking for bigger discounts on license renewals.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"A firewall typically has a license for three years that includes installation and support, but maintenance is separate.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Fortinet is much cheaper compared to the other leading platforms.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"It's affordable for a university or a small business.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The price varies depending on the model of appliance you're using.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"FortiGate is on the cheaper end.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"It does not offer a central management and is also sold separably as an appliance.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Reporting is limited to providing an external appliance for improving the reporting capabilities of the FortiAnalyzer.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Palo Alto also has a separate license for VPN connections and SD-WAN, but FortiGate offers these standard features.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It needs to improve its ISP load balancing.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Fortinet has more device options that are affordable for small businesses than Palo Alto, and its enterprise-level models are also cheaper.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"MTBF: Hardware failure is more common when compared to SonicWall or Cisco ASA.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Palo Alto is expensive.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"If I compare it with other vendors, such as Palo Alto, it's normal.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Its price is normal.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Consequently, they buy another box instead of going through the ticket process to get it fixed.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"It can create a gap of three, eight, or even twelve months for the customer.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"When we purchase a new license for one or three years and upgrade it to the existing box, the expiry date does not change from the original.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The licensing cost and the upgrade process are important considerations.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I would also like them to consider offering more predefined security templates.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"FortiGate is a bit pricey, but its unique features and specifications make it an excellent option for certain customers.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard and UI, as well as to the reporting.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"In a FortiGate unit with a lot of interfaces (including virtual interfaces), there is a high probability of having duplication of policies.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Zones provide the option to logically group multiple virtual and physical FortiGate firewall interfaces. Then, you apply security policies to those zones to control traffic flow on those interfaces.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"By default, policies are sorted by FW interfaces and this makes FW interfaces an integral part of the policies.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"NetFlow is a network protocol developed by Cisco for collecting IP traffic information and monitoring network traffic. It is not supported on FortiGate for those who have a NetFlow analyzer/collector already setup in their network.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Other vendors, such as Palo Alto, will charge you to have an SD-WAN license, whereas, with Fortinet, it's free of charge.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"We think the price is lower, and suitable for most end users.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"sFlow configuration is available only from the CLI, and discovered that sFlow is not supported on virtual interfaces, such as VDOM links, IPsec, or GRE.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"If you have their firewall, it's free of charge.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The price is high compared to some of the other solutions.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"We receive many reports from users who browse the web with antivirus sensors applied to their firewall policies.","score":8}

{"quote":"Secure SD-WAN is free of charge.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"The antivirus sensor analyzes all the protocols and packets we specified, and this is an important performance affectation.","score":7}

{"quote":"The price for the Fortinet FortiGate is reasonable.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Sometimes, we have seen that when you enable the antivirus sensor, customers report slow web browsing.","score":9}

{"quote":"They could improve performance with all the UTM features working.","score":8}

{"quote":"It's average or normal as compared to Palo Alto and Check Point firewalls.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"We recommend that our clients supplement it with other products.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Its pricing is good.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It claims it does DLP, but the degree and level of controls are very basic.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Sometimes it's super hard to figure out what's wrong with a Fortigate VPN unless you know the commands on the CLI to see the flow and how to interpret it.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"They should improve that high CPU and memory usage that occurs.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Imagine providing all steps, command line syntax, and GUI (if available) and how to take steps to debug the flow and see what's failing.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"When we need to enable Netflow on the firewall, there is a high CPU and memory usage that occurs.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Inevitably, there are always quirks and nuances between the Fortigate vendor versus peering with a Palo Alto or an ASA firewall or even a Juniper SSG.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Consolidate some of the primary real-world scenarios like troubleshooting B2B VPN peering with a business partner or client when initially setting up the VPN tunnel.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Better documentation about usage of the CLI.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The solution is quite pricey.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"These two aim to catch all of the FortiGate logs and turn them into friendly reports, many of which are not present in FortiGate itself.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"But the additional costs vary from client to client.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"For a company like ours, we'd always like to pay less.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"For the client to get the richest reports, they need to buy the FortiAnalyzer appliance or hire FortiCloud service.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The solution's licenses cost the same for different subscription plans.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Of course, any solution could be less expensive.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The FortiGate internal reports are good, but could have more details and options for viewing certain network data.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"You get good value for money.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The reports provided by the equipment could be more detailed, and not so dependent on the FortiAnalyzer.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The pricing is moderate.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It would be nice if backups could more easily migrate between different models.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Grouping/tabbing (not only by interface) in the policy table of the web GUI would be a great addition.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"You get value for your money.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The licensing costs are reasonable.","score":"8"}
