    Reviewed on Apr 11, 2025
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    We use Fortinet FortiWeb Cloud WAF-as-a-Service  situated in front of our web-facing APIs. This includes everything that is customer-facing, business-to-business APIs, and things like that.

    What is most valuable?

    For us, the protection against the OWASP top ten is very valuable due to its excellent machine learning capabilities. The new features are automatically rolled out, and we can switch them on and off. Its usability is a key aspect as it is very easy to use and deploy in front of new APIs. Additional valuable features include bot management capabilities which are very effective for us.

    What needs improvement?

    While we find the solution to be really good overall, some improvements could be made to the alerting system, specifically around the health checks of endpoints. Enhancements to the X header forwarding capabilities would also be beneficial.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We have been working with Fortinet FortiWeb Cloud WAF-as-a-Service  for about four to five years now.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    When we evaluated solutions, we compared Fortinet FortiWeb Cloud WAF-as-a-Service to AWS WAF  and found it just as good, if not better, in terms of the features offered.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was very simple. We had a quick project turnaround time and implemented it across around twenty APIs in the space of a week.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The price is not the cheapest, but it offers great value for money. I would rate it as an eight out of ten for pricing.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I compared Fortinet FortiWeb Cloud WAF-as-a-Service with AWS WAF  during our evaluation.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Fortinet FortiWeb Cloud WAF-as-a-Service a nine out of ten. I can definitely recommend it to other users. The overall product rating is a nine.

    Reviewed on Jan 30, 2025
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    I have used Fortinet FortiWeb  for the ID protection of a large government website with substantial web traffic. We have implemented the solution on-premises.

    Fortinet FortiWeb  offers a variety of protections, including machine learning that helps protect web applications. It effectively mitigates web attacks, provides virtual protections, and handles large traffic with minimal processing effort. The appliance exhibits good performance and offers features that are beneficial for web security.

    What needs improvement?

    The usability of the interface could be improved as it is not user-friendly.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have had experience with Fortinet solutions for about five years.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    How was the initial setup?

    Fortinet FortiWeb is simple to set up and not overly complex.

    What was our ROI?

    The product helps to mitigate web attacks effectively, providing a return with minimal investment.

    Efficiently identifies and addresses vulnerabilities while providing robust protection

    Reviewed on Jan 14, 2025
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    I use it for all the applications in my company that need external access. I route the traffic to FortiWeb first, and after this, I direct it to the cloud or on-premises solutions.

    What is most valuable?

    It is a secure tool. It is user-friendly and easy to work with. It is possible to easily find vulnerabilities with the WAF . I understand that the return is good since I haven't had any significant attacks. The vulnerabilities I found were easy to close. I think the return is good. It is a good tool.

    What needs improvement?

    I do not have any notes on improvement.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have used FortiWeb for two years in the cloud, and two more years before that on the on-premises solutions.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Stability is very stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Scalability is good.

    How are customer service and support?

    All the time, when I needed support, they answered quickly and helped me solve the issues. It is good support.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Neutral

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I used Orca in the past and changed to Wiz  in the middle of last year. These are the tools where I have a little bit of knowledge. I didn't work directly with Orca. I just supported it since I started working with CSPM while we were deactivating Orca and starting with Wiz .

    How was the initial setup?

    The setup was easy. It was not difficult to integrate with our applications.

    What about the implementation team?

    Internally, it was me and one more person, along with the consultant from Fortinet, handling the implementation. This process was quick.

    What was our ROI?

    I understand that the return is good. I haven't had any significant attacks. The vulnerabilities I found were easy to close. 

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    It is not too expensive. 

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I use F5 more in an on-prem environment and FortiWeb in the cloud environment. Both tools are very good. I have worked with F5 for five or six years, and FortiWeb for two years. The solutions for both are similar. There's nothing to say that F5 is more secure than Fortinet. Both tools are very similar.

    What other advice do I have?

    Overall product rating: nine out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    I work with the Fortinet firewall. I have been using it for more than three years now.
