FortiGate: Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) Reviews and Ratings
- Chief Operating Officer (COO)<50M USDServices (non-Government)Review Source
Strong security enforcement, but administrative overhead with granular rule setup
Regarding Fortigate, our organization's experience utilizing this hardware and virtual firewall platform for protection and microsegmentation has been exceptionally strong, especially as we shift toward a zero-trust architecture. It operates not only just a firewall, but also as a highly performant enforcement barrier that allows us to dissect flat, legacy networks and apply strict, layer-7 security boundaries between individual workloads, virtual machines, and database clusters without sacrificing throughput.
