How was the initial setup?
The product is complicated to set up. The deployment time depends on the customer. Some customers have a deployment time of six to seven months, while others have a deployment time of two months. The process involves an assessment for a month, then a low-level design for another month.

FortiWeb has a good presence because of its price.

We are integrators with all the product certifications. We have a good team. We prefer assessment and low-level design before starting with the project.

A cost-effective firewall that remains stable while providing security to its users
What is our primary use case?
In my company, we use FortiWeb Web Application Firewall (WAF) for security.
What is most valuable?
FortiWeb is a small tool that can be used by those of our customers who use Fortinet FortiGate as their firewall. I will use Barracuda Email Protection for any customer who uses a firewall from a solution provider other than Fortinet FortiGate.
What needs improvement?
The product lacks features offered by enterprise-level firewall tools. The solution needs to offer more enterprise features like other brands.
It would be great if FortiWeb Web Application Firewall (WAF) had something like a wizard to allow for more integrations with other popular firewall products like Fortinet, Palo Alto, and so on.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using FortiWeb Web Application Firewall (WAF) for three years. I use the solution's latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

There are 2,000 users of the solution in my company.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support was helpful and responsive. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have previously used SonicWall.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was easy since it was possible to get remote support for the product.
The solution is deployed on-premises.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is a cost-effective product. If you need an extra module in the product, there will be an extra cost in addition to the licensing fee.
What other advice do I have?
There are five engineers needed for the maintenance of the solution.
If there is a requirement and one is already using a firewall from Fortinet, then it is easier to deploy FortiWeb Web Application Firewall (WAF). Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Great Machine Learning Feature Including in Web Application Firewall

What do you dislike about the product?
The Centralized Configuration Management of FortiWeb - the FortiWeb Manager has been discontinued cause I do not see any firmware update on the FortiWeb Manager, but the FortiWeb has released the new firmware usually. So the FortiWeb Manager can not manage the FortiWeb with the latest firmware (FortiWeb with firmware 6.3.0 and above)
Latest FortiWeb Manager Firmware: 6.2.3
Latest FortiWeb Firmware: 6.4.1

A Advanced and Powerful Solution for Web Applications Security.

The thing I dislike the most about FortiWeb Web Application Firewall is the update process. Upgrading from an older version to a new version requires some downtime and involves a lot of steps. Also, they can improve their service as service is critical in security domain
