Fortinet provides complete firewall, web filtering and log analysis with their FortiGate and FortiAnalyzer appliances. There are different models for any size of network.

Basic setup of he firewall is easy and intiutive but you can also take advantage of the webfilter, antivirus, application sensor modules. About the webfilter, Fortinet categorize every website and you just have to authorize or deny website categories to your user groups (local or active directory). Application senser allow you to block traffic from specified application kind (for example P2P softwares).

Firewall is quite standard with the classic objects (FQDN, interface, destination, action,...) and it also features some traffic shaper option.

It's also possible to have 2 appliances working together in high availability to ensure a permanent network connectivity even if one of the appliance crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The web interface is sometimes slow and the beginning with the console is a bit difficult : searching rules / objects is not very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to lock down critical websites and make them secure as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning curve is quite long and users need specific training. Hard to become an expert in all aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price point. The fortigate units are stable, powerful, and provide a lot of bang for the buck. Software functionality has mostly worked as expected. Clustering process was simple. IPSec tunnel has been reliable. And the throughput is more than I expected for the price point. Wireless LAN controller has been stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VPN configuration required some command line intervention. Upgrading to the newest OS failed once. The backup OS image was then corrupted and I had to load OS using USB thumb drive. Command line interface is clunky. Wireless LAN controller cannot run active/active in a cluster, so for our small deployment, where AP's are directly attached to fortigate controller, we had to either attach all AP's to one fortigate controller and manually fail over, or divide them between two fortigate units, but live with AP's on the standy fortigate unit being dormant.

Fortinet firewalls are wery powerful and easy to install and maintain. The price for that boxes regarding the features and the quality is quite low comparing with other vendors. It's a leader into the Gartner Magic Quadrant for many yeasr. I really suggest it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there are really issue with those system: the only thing that I can report is the lack of reporting and audit without the Fortimanager and/or an addition logging systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
