It provides advanced features like IPS, VPN, web filtering, application control, and SD-WAN in a single platform, which simplifies network security operations. The user interface is straightforward, deployment is quick, and the firewall delivers stable performance even in large environments.

The VPN accounts also comes with free 2FA option. > > **Cons**: Although FortiGate has GUI, many of the features still rely on CLi to unlock or configure. 3 different path of firmware can be confusing. ----- ### "Good firewall" — 5.0/5 > **Diego** | *21 October 2024* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The capabilities and features are complete. The constant updates. > > **Cons**: The licesing cost for the features are high ----- ### "Fortinet easy path to better enterprise security" — 5.0/5 > **Prasad** | *30 July 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 've been using FortiGate for 6 years now and compared to other vendors we had been working with for decades. We found this brand to be the best solution in terms of performance, security and ease of management. Please note: we often hear that FortiGate may be poor in the face of too many vulnerabilities being published. Maybe instead because other vendors keep it more under wraps? From my perspective, FortiGate has always been a transparent vendor. Think of it that in some cases even EoS appliances have been included within the vulnerability patching program. > > **Cons**: Not face major yet, until, there is no auto-arrangement of policies based on how specific a policy is. > > We are able to control the sites visited by our users and ensure that the staff are using most of their time doing what the business expects from them. By doing so we have ensured that no one visits sites that can pose a danger to our network and systems. ----- ### "Great firewall but some drawbacks" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 June 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the easiest to manage, performs well, and is generally pretty reliable.
