Fortinet FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall
Fortinet Inc.External reviews
External reviews are not included in the AWS star rating for the product.
Login Never Worked
The instance ID was never accepted as the password. I messed with it for an hour thinking it was just that poorly documented. Turns out it is more likely to be that poorly implemented.
can't login
I can't login to the FortiGate Console with instance id as the password.
Probably because my AWS account has longer IDs for EC2 instance.
Great Security, Not many instructions
The product is simply one of the most secure you can buy. It lack instructions on how to get it working properly.
Feature Rich out of the Gate
I was looking for a firewall product for the AWS environment that had just the right mix of powerful features and ease of operation without having to be a full network engineer. The FortiGate-VM product seems to fit that bill on both ends.
A great set of features fully licensed out of the box. Within less than an hour from instance launch, I was filtering outbound web traffic from one of our VPCs. Looking forward to figuring out additional feature sets with this product.
