What differentiates FortiProxy from other similar products?

FortiProxy offers a feature-rich, user-friendly experience with strong integration into Fortinet’s ecosystem, but it requires improvements in stability, third-party integration, and cloud-native architecture to match modern SASE expectations.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

One of the standout aspects of FortiProxy is its friendly interface, which makes navigating complex security configurations feel intuitive. It’s also packed with powerful features that enhance visibility across web traffic and user activity, helping administrators stay in control and respond quickly to potential threats.

What do you dislike most about this product?

FortiProxy’s main drawback is its limited third-party integration and occasional stability issues, especially in virtual deployments and complex environments. These gaps can affect scalability and seamless operation.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

FortiProxy offers great features and a user-friendly interface, making it a solid choice for secure web access. However, I recommend evaluating deployment architecture carefully, hardware appliances tend to offer better stability than virtual setups. Also, consider integration needs and cloud scalability, as FortiProxy isn’t fully cloud-native like SASE solutions. Planning ahead for these limitations will help ensure smoother implementation and long-term performance.
