"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."

I had test installed FortiClient working from home. I remembered and knew which web categories were denied or allowed. All those policies were correctly reflected standalone, for example, on my laptop."
"It is a fantastic product. Its overall security is valuable. We are very impressed with the web filtering and the application firewall it provides."
"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful."
"Starting from FortiGate and from the EMS server, you have to begin at the endpoint, and that's the most useful thing about using FortiClient."

"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"It hasn't really improved our direct detection rate but it has definitely reduced our incident response time as we wouldn't have been able to detect threats or immediate risks without this solution."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"Better integration between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Secure Workload would be beneficial."
"I would like to see interoperability with other Cisco products because we have ThousandEyes, Cisco Prime, and others. The interaction among these is important to us."

"The connectivity could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"The user interface could be more inviting."
"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."
"The licensing feature of the product requires improvement since whenever the license expires, the tool logs out its users automatically, irrespective of whether they are on the network or not, which can be problematic for me."
