What differentiates Fortinet Fortigate NGFW from other similar products?

I like that when I open it, I have a dashboard that can provide me with a comprehensive picture of everything that is going on. I can check, for instance, how our firewall's resources are performing or whether there is still room on our hard drive for logs and other files. The solution provides us with a live picture of what's going on with the hardware.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The entire organization is using this device. It serves as our main barrier to the internet. Fortinet Fortigate is quite reasonably priced, and what sets it apart is its cutting-edge, eye-catching, and user-friendly user interface. It defends our network against external threats and makes sure that users inside the company are also secured. Most clients find the security level to be adequate, and the deployment of the system is made simpler by AD/LDAP authentication.

What do you dislike most about this product?

First and foremost the cost and the implementation. Second, the price is reasonable given the features, but mobile device administration is difficult and the FortiExplore option is more expensive in online shops. It also does not adjust to the screens of smartphones or tablets.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Numerous issues are solved with the use of Fortinet Fortigate. Costs for annual licenses are reduced with the help of Fortinet Fortigate. The Fortinet Fortigate prices are less than other products when compared to them. Business owners that are keen to need total protection for their networks and data centers, especially if they want their company to grow more quickly, should give Fortinet Fortigate serious consideration.
