Our Customers Emphasize the Value of FortiManager in Gartner Peer Insights Reviews for their SD-WAN and NGFW projects.

★★★★★
“Easy Going To Deployment & Configure, Directly Insight In The Connectivity”

“Easy to configure • Easy to deployment • Easy to centralized manage • Single appliance for: SD-WAN + advance routing + NGFW functions helped us consolidate other point products.”
– Security Officer, Manufacturing

★★★★★
“Simple Implementation, Robust Management, And Feature Rich Configuration Options”

“We have been very pleased with the Fortinet NGFW and SD-WAN solutions. The ease of configuration, robust CLI, and new features being added regularly, has made us very pleased with the solution. Fortinet may not focus as much on SD-WAN as other vendors do, but they have a broad portfolio and the integration of NGFW security and SD-WAN into a single platform has made policy, image, troubleshooting, and configuration management much easier. Even though Fortinet's bread and butter is security, they are quickly moving their SD-WAN technology and features to be on par with other specialized SD-WAN vendors. Fortinet's NGFW solution is extremely robust, high performing, and very feature rich. There is a feature for just about any custom NGFW setting you can think of. This is far better than our previous solution which is very well known.”
– Senior Network Engineer, Healthcare

★★★★★
“Fortigate NG Firewall, very good for use in Education Sector K1-12 based on my experience”

“Easy to deploy and migration, Firewall rule is not messy if compare to the previous product i ever use such as iptable. GUI management is simple, easy to understand i spend only 3 hour to setup the same scenario to my previous firewall. one more thing, its very very stable, i can run one month without reboot at all.”
– CTO, Education
