We have been using multiple Fortinet FortiGate products. Fortinet 500D is a perimeter firewall that is on HA and protects our internal and external traffic from emerging threats. The throughput of the devices is completely appreciable and easy management, Remote SSO login, Web filtering, and Gateway antivirus security makes it different from others. Technical support is perfect and well trained to support you in any case.
Nothing as such as of now. But there is always scope for improvement

We are connected to the outworld internet which needs special protection for our internal infrastructure and to manage the internal multiple subnet and routings. Access Rules are a must to configure for different sorts of users and departments. There is always a requirement for users to connect while traveling and outside the office premises. All these above needs can be achieved with a UTM Firewall device and Fortinet FortiGate solved these issues for any organization.

We use this software to protect the company in various ways. For example, as a content filter, and also as a firewall to administrate inbound and outbound traffic by closing ports. Finally, with the reports we do some useful analytics in order to make decisions and better understand the final users in the network.
Pros
Web filtering.
Cons
Command line interface is a little bit hard to use.
Lack of AI.
Likelihood to Recommend
FortiGate is very well suited when we need to block some dangerous websites in order to protect our network from threats like viruses, data loss, and hacking in general. Also, we use it to block some traffic like virtual desktops.
