"The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"It is a good source for firewall protection."
"Fortinet has a very good solution for Secure SD-WAN. One very good feature is that they have robust and simple FortiOS through which they provide all solutions. That's their strength. There's not much complexity involved with the Secure SD-WAN solution of Fortinet as compared to Cisco's solution, which has a lot of flexibility but complexity also comes with that flexibility."
"We purchased Fortinet because of the pricing, its functionality, because it met our requirements, and the total cost of ownership over five years was quite reasonable. In the market, Fortinet is rated quite well."
"I like that they have given me a solution at a fair price."
"The solution is very, very easy to use."
"From the firewall perspective, the rules and policies are very sufficient and easy to use."
"Fortinet offers the latest versions to cater to the needs of enterprises."
"The solution's implementation is pretty easy."
"We make use of the new data center, specifically the containerized data center which is built and reviewed by Huawei, including all the device's infrastructure."
"I like that the initial setup is straighforward. It's also a scalable solution."
"The setup is quite easy."
"Huawei support is excellent. I rate it 10 out of 10."
"We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"Huawei was able to assist us in the installation of their product. The installation was very fast."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"We sometimes have issues with FortiGate's routing table in the latest firmware update. We had to downgrade the device because our customers complained about bugs."
"Its reporting and pricing need improvement."
"The support system could be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."
"The performance and speed are aspects of the solution that could always be improved upon."
"The pricing could always be better."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility."
"The solution doesn't seem to be very mature. Our networking team says they are experiencing a lot of issues in the firewalls and some routers."
"One issue is integration. Huawei can't detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC). I can get a lot of information about security, but can't automatically input the EP, domain URL, and file hashes I get from Hackersworld into my blocklist."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"The WAF capability in the Huawei Firewall is missing."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."
"With the Huawei firewall, none of the features comes at the top. We found out later that customer support is really not good. For this firewall, because of our customers' routine, for example, every six months they'll do a penetration test to find weaknesses. So whenever they came up with VAPT reports, they are looking to Huawei for help. I think that's basically because it's a different culture. Chinese culture and our culture is different. They have always tried to help find some excuses or say some other things that cannot help you solve the problem immediately."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
