Security threats have been reduced through seamless deployment and strong integration with other tools
I have used Fortinet FortiWeb's integration features. We have easily integrated all of the applications with the product. Most of the applications we are using are in-house built. My technical team is looking after the best features. I have not used it extensively for maybe two and a half years. I have been involved in the installation, but I am not actually using the product. I work with it from time to time but not extensively. I would assess Fortinet FortiWeb's adaptive machine learning and artificial intelligence as having new patches installed regarding artificial intelligence, but when we bought it, I think the learning feature was there. Now they have installed artificial intelligence features through patches. We have a complete portfolio of Fortinet in our organization, including FortiMail, Fortinet FortiWeb, and FortiGate, along with multi-factor authentication. All of the products are from Fortinet. Fortinet tools integrate with each other and work in conjunction. I think Fortinet FortiWeb has helped us meet regulatory compliance because we are not a regulatory organization, but our sister organization is regulatory. We have regulatory compliance with the International Civil Aviation Authority, whose audit teams have checked our data center and these security products, and they are satisfied with us. The question about leveraging Fortinet FortiWeb's automated policy management does not pertain to my domain because I am not so technical, but I am in a management role now. My engineer is more technical than me. I would rate this product an eight point five out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have had a lot of web application attacks and this product has protected us, as once it was implemented most of our problems were solved, including a DDoS attack against the seventh layer that it successfully protected us from."
"It’s an all-in-one solution that lowers the cost of having multiple solutions and gave us more Wi-Fi control capability."
"The initial setup was straightforward, it was easy."
"The product is easy to configure."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, and since our company didn't have any problems with it, we didn't encounter many problems with the tool."
"The product has a very user-friendly dashboard."
"I have a good relationship with the support teams in Peru, and we are well-supported."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"I would give Radware Kubernetes WAF a rating of 10 out of 10."
 

Cons

"The initial setup in our data center was somewhat complex."
"The Layer 7 DDoS attacks need improvement, it could be better."
"It is not entirely user-friendly."
"We had one stability issue when I ran it once with Wireshark; it froze."
"The hardware does not measure up. Fortinet does not have sturdy hardware."
"Centralized configuration using FortiManager – like what exists for NGFW FortiGate appliances - would improve the configuration."
"When there is downtime at their data center, it becomes a transit point issue for us, causing downtime in our environment as well."
"Technical support is average; it could improve."
"If Radware provides a separate web service like those offered by vendors such as F5 and Imperva, that would be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​It really pays off to buy licences for multiple years​."
"FortiWeb can be purchased in VM mode for a lower price and the same features."
"FortiWeb is more expensive than some competing products."
"So far, I have been pretty pleased with the way it's priced and licensed. The way it's done makes it easy, especially for an organization like us, so I've been pleased with the way it's priced and licensed right now."
"When I use any other firewall, I have to take a license. It could be a perpetual license or subscription-based. In both cases, we have to pay some amount in advance, whereas in the case of FortiWeb, when using it as a service, I am paying half a dollar only for the domain name, and then I am paying based on the traffic or the number of requests."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a ten out of ten."
"It is fine now. We had to earlier negotiate the price."
"I would rate the pricing a four out of ten."
