"The template will save time from being wasted on load balancing."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the UTP feature, IPS antivirus, and web filtering."
"It's quite easy to use, and it's easy to find the necessary information from the web."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has valuable firewall, SSL VPN, and web filtering features."
"The most valuable feature is the inspection. It inspects before we have any traffic stops intrusion."
"The most valuable features are management and integration."
"It's very easy to automate functions on the cloud with HashiCorp Terraform. The commands are easy as well."
"The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the solution does not need installation."
"The valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are the infrastructure can be written, shared, and collaborated on using code, which speeds up deployment. Additionally, bugs and issues can be fixed in the code and redeployed, making it less risky. It is a more efficient method compared to the traditional approach of writing scripts to set up infrastructure."
"The concept of infrastructure as code is quite intriguing. We have an infrastructure in our code and a state file where we can verify whether something is changed when it was changed, and who changed it. When we use Terraform, these kinds of things fascinate us."
"HashiCorp Terraform is highly stable."
"The most valuable feature of Terraform is the ability to use it as a coding language because it works in a way that's similar to other coding languages."
"We save a lot of time with this solution."
"The solution should include a commit button that allows for review of changes and deployments before they are submitted."
"The robustness of the software could be improved."
"Improving the platform's intuitiveness and consolidating functionalities, such as reporting and firewall features, could enhance user experience and reduce the need for multiple product purchases."
"Everything related to the graphical user interface should be improved."
"Having a built-in SOC solution like an XDR platform within the solution would be convenient for customers."
"FortiGate Cloud could be improved with increased granularity for our control."
"If more products convert their configuration to Fortinet configuration, it will be easy for migration."
"I would like to see more reporting from the analysis improved in the future."
"HashiCorp Terraform could improve the integration with the VCloud Director. When we manage the VCloud Director we end up wasting our time when creating virtual machines. HashiCorp Terraform knows about these issues and I think there might be a workaround but they should incorporate the fix in an upcoming release."
"Some areas where Terraform could improve would be challenges in managing sensitive information, especially when dealing with secret files or credentials."
"HashiCorp Terraform state management could be improved to be used efficiently with multi-users."
"The error logging could be better. Sometimes, when you try to set something on Terraform, it gives you an error, but you don't understand how the error has been logged."
"The integration with this solution needs to be improved."
"Terraform doesn't support Artifactory as a backend."
"The solution is complex when we use it for a loop. This is a problem, not because of the language itself, but because of how the infrastructure generally works. It's different from Python."
"Community tech support could be a little better."
