"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."

"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."

"They need to change or upgrade the technology in the product."
"Our users have been asking for simpler documentation and training materials to facilitate the deployment process."
