Very efficient and competitive NGFW firewall

What differentiates Fortinet Fortigate NGFW from other similar products?
With Unified Threat Management (UTM), many elements have been integrated that fight against all kinds of woes. This software contains a series of corrective agents and attack prevention and retention agents that can be managed appropriately. Protects against intruders, it includes a first-line antivirus and a web application firewall, which gives us first-class protection with simplified administration and complete reports. It is straightforward to manage IP policy and content filters for any communication protocol.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
In my organization, I solve problems of slowness or difficulty of the content block by categories and stability in other resources, such as the ease of configuring and using client VPN. FortiGate facilitated the administration of web permissions by users associated with an active directory.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Sometimes it can become challenging to block content from a website with web filtering because web pages contain websites that consume other resources. Administration on a mobile device is very complicated, it does not adapt to the screen of smartphones or tablets, and the option of FortiExplore has an additional cost in online stores.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I recommend the tool to everyone if you need to have a unified security control in your company. It contains all the necessary tools to perform as a good insurer of your network and to know the operational risks. It is very easy to manage your web administration is very friendly and allows you to understand everything easily. Firmware updates are costly and easy to manage.
