"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."

"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"The tool needs to improve its web filtering feature. Its support quality needs improvement. We speak different languages, and this can create misunderstandings."
"In terms of improvements, their SSL VPN tunnel can be a lot better. I've seen other products that have got much better VPN features than Fortinet. Some of my colleagues get this error called "License not available." When they get this error, they have to uninstall and reinstall it. This kind of problem is there, and sometimes, we have to open a case with Fortinet to resolve it. Their support is quick, so we are able to resolve and move forward. In terms of new features, when it is connecting, it should check the endpoint and say whether the end client is actually safe enough or whether there is a vulnerability. It should give a pop-up on the client itself. Because I'm on the admin side, I can also see this information in the log. However, if a non-IT user, such as a user from finance, is working on this and there is some problem, he or she would not know about this and would call IT admin to say that this is not working. If the users get a message explaining why and what is happening, it is easy for them to understand."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"I think that FortiClient can enhance the multifactor authentication."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the compatibility with mobile applications that are allowed and sometimes they do not respond. However, Microsoft Windows applications are very good."
"While I cannot think of new features to add, it would be nice if the reports were improved, to have these sent automatically."
