"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"Support is good; the product works as advertised. We have a Slack connection with them. So we can basically ask for help, live, engage, and ring when they respond. Very quickly."
"The product helps our organization to access sites located in different regions quickly."
"Rate limiting is a good feature that protects from volumetric attacks."
"Fastly uses configuration versioning, where you can deploy a new version in less than one minute."
"FortiWeb offers machine learning in the latest product. This fixed many problems. There are no false negatives."
"One main feature we are very happy about is file security and upload functionality."
"It is a stable product."
"You have the ability to control everything from one single dashboard."
"Auto Learn feature: Makes policy additions or deletions for my customers very simple"
"The most valuable feature is the attack signature and machine learning."
"FortiWeb offers a good price for the marketplace. In the Sri Lankan market, it's hard to find high-end products that can match FortiWeb's pricing. For high-end solutions, the price is always extremely high."
"It's stable and works efficiently against OWASP Top 10 attacks."
"Support is not that great."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"Fastly's customer service area needs improvement."
"It is missing a "staging" platform to deploy a test configuration with all of the real settings, which would allow us to properly test before putting it into production."
"The product should provide improved bot detection and management."
"Stronger analytics would be helpful, like showing configurations that haven't served a certain amount of traffic in a while. With many properties, things can get lost track of - duplicates or unused configurations not properly decommissioned."
"We use Kubernetes, so I would like to have a plugin to configure FortiWeb Cloud automatically using Kubernetes Ingress. That would reduce the complexity of setting up an Ingress object in Kubernetes. Some competing solutions help you configure Ingress and Kubernetes automatically."
"I would like to see more improvements with respect to threat intelligence."
"The Layer 7 DDoS attacks need improvement, it could be better."
"It is not entirely user-friendly."
"Lacks functionalities that are available in other solutions."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration with solutions other than the Fortinet family."
"The solution is not very scalable, to scale up would require another deployment with a new appliance and a change to the network."
"Their support needs improvement."
