"FortiOS is great for our network."
What do you like best about FortiOS?

What I appreciate most about FortiOS is how convenient it makes it for me to set up, monitor, and modify my FortiAPs and how easy it was to integrate them with my network. This ease of management is what I find most valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiOS?

As someone relatively new to networking and transitioning from a different brand of firewalls, I found there was a bit of a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding Security Features and Access Control"
What do you like best about FortiOS?

What I love most about the system is that it has several excellent security features. It allows for excellent access control management, intrusion prevention, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiOS?

I didn't find anything significant that would harm the usability of the system, one suggestion would be to improve whitelist management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fortios experience"
What do you like best about FortiOS?

FortiOS is quite stable. I have been using FortiOS and FortiGate UTM for nearly 14 years now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiOS?

The terminal window is not very intuitive to use. I believe Fortisos should consider making it more dynamic. However, I understand that since the focus is on security, they may have chosen to keep it this way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FortiOS Review"
What do you like best about FortiOS?

It connects you to the core center while you are managing your infrastructure with FortiOS. It's bright and intelligent and sends you notifications for updates and upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiOS?

There is a prompt popup when you login to your Fortigates. It asks you to push the upgrade button when downloaded before. If you are not an experienced technical guy, you may do it immediately and impact the live service. It's better not to come up at the login time and show it as an icon in the top right corner.
