"The product's scalability could be better."
"Fortinet FortiWeb could improve data integration."

"Sometimes, even if you follow the documentation, it doesn't work as expected."
"In my experience, Fortinet FortiWeb could improve the intelligent features to acknowledge whether any threat or incident that's running happened. Then give us the ability to escalate it to layer 2 or layer 3 in the network operations."
