Fortinet again named a 2021 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Network Firewalls

Fortinet is proud to announce that, for the second consecutive year, we have been recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the April 2021 Gartner Peer Insights ‘Voice of the Customer’: Network Firewalls report.  Additionally, Fortinet was named a Customers’ Choice for the second year in a row in the February 2021 Gartner Peer Insights ‘Voice of the Customer’: WAN Edge Infrastructure for Fortinet Secure SD-WAN. We continue to differentiate ourselves from the competition by accelerating convergence of networking and security using a single platform.

The Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice is a recognition of vendors in this market by verified end-user professionals, taking into account both the number of reviews and the overall user ratings. To ensure fair evaluation, Gartner maintains rigorous criteria for recognizing vendors with a high customer satisfaction rate.

We take great pride in this distinction, which is entirely based on the reviews of customers across industries, company sizes, and regions. And with 1,713 reviews as of April 15, 2021, Fortinet has the most total reviews of any vendor in the Network Firewalls market.

Fortinet also scored highest in the enterprise data center Use Case for two consecutive years in the 2019 and 2020 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Network Firewalls reports with scores of 3.67/5 and 3.71/5 respectively.
