Fortinet Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines security service edge (SSE) as an offering that secures access to the web, cloud services and private applications regardless of the location of the user, the device they are using or where that application is hosted. SSE protects users from malicious and inappropriate content on the web and provides enhanced security and visibility for the SaaS and private applications accessed by end users.
Security service edge provides a primarily cloud-delivered solution to control access from end users and devices to applications, as well as websites and the internet. It provides a range of security capabilities, including adaptive access based on identity and context, malware protection, data security and threat prevention, as well as the associated analytics and visibility. It enables more direct connectivity for hybrid users by reducing latency and providing the potential for improved user experience. Capabilities that are integrated across multiple traffic types and destinations allow a more seamless experience for both users and administrators while maintaining a consistent security stance.

The FortiSASE has really good potencial for being an very good network tool.
The main problem we have is that the support for our problems is next to none.
They update regulary which is good but every update breaks something that was already working and we need to open lots of tickets for it.

It facilitates a very strong transition away from legacy, perimeter-based VPNs toward a Zero Trust model. Securing a remote workforce becomes much more reliable, though shifting the organization's mindset from "network access" to "application access" takes effort.
