9 /10

What differentiates Fortinet FortiSASE from other similar products?

What sets Fortinet FortiSASE apart from other similar products is its ability to provide traditional firewall features as well as next-generation features such as URL filtering, antivirus, and IPS. Additionally, its GUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of this product is its real-time protection from network-based attacks and its ability to block harmful resources.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One downside I have found is that application detection and SSL decryption can be improved and some classic SWG capabilities like URL rewriting and buffer management.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are considering this product, it is a versatile firewall that can be used in various environments and provides multiple security functions. However, keep in mind that there may be some areas for improvement in terms of application detection and SSL decryption.

What differentiates Fortinet FortiSASE from other similar products?

It could be a nice product wirh features like build in firewall and endpoint management system. Ztna and swg are outstanding features which separates fortinet from its competitors.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Its gui is my favourit aspect. As a customer we dont have to manage any firewall or ems which is actually working behind this product. Everything is built in and managed by fortinet.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Ztna. This feature is not completely developed or integrated properly. Fortinet advertises this as a main selling point of this product but it has so many bugs. This has to be more worked on.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Please try first. Dont go for any bit order on this product. it might disappoint you. But firsr try with 20-25 users and check the results.
