Customer reviews
Extremely flexible & scalable.
I can automate every aspect of deployment. Central management through FortiManager is perfect for my needs as I can manage all my firewalls across my hybrid deployment from a single console.
Very easy to use. Great value
It's an easy security solution to deploy and added great value protecting our workloads from known vulnerabilities. We used it as a hub spoke topology.
Effective and easy to set up
Provides as good if not better coverage as our on premise NGFW. Easy to deploy and set up.
Unique Master-Slave sync in HA mode as well as API calls to the AWS infrastructure which means we don't need to run a lambda to supervise the state of the master and change the routing. The API calls take care of this.
Good
Nice and tried with TRANSIT VPC, Good performance. Only Issues with Remote VPN part. CLI part is good, will get more options there.
Great firewall, On-Demand not available for GovCloud ?!
These are great firewalls, they work great for VPC Transit designs. Unavailable for Gov-Cloud as an On-Demand as of August 2018
