Most of them have the same features but not for FREE. The second point was the total cost of ownership for 3 and 5 years. Fortinet supported us with the best prices for 3 years and 5 years as well with advanced hardware replacement against the others.

Good in providing threat protection especially our emails that come in from the outside. Capturing potential spam and malware from emails from outside our network has been good. Keeps us alert for anything coming in from the outside that could compromise our network.

Regarding my experience, I prefer to deploy FortiWeb in a reverse proxy to have the full features and protection. The other mode will be useful for special cases as will it will not have the full range of features and protection. Like offline Sniffing, it will be used in special cases.

Return on Investment
  • Implementing Barracuda Application Protection has had a measurable and strategic impact on our overall business objectives. Within the first 6 months of deployment, I saw a 53% reduction in security incidents affecting the web applications, which directly translated into fewer service interruptions and less time spent on incident response
  • Cloud migration was so fast and give a head start and provides a competitive advantage in deploying new services faster than anticipated.
