"The most valuable feature is the FortiManager for centralized management."
"Fortinet FortiGate has many valuable features, such as IDS, and intrusion detection. It has security features that are in part with the technologies that are available in the market."
"The product offers very good security."
"The base firewall features are quite valuable to us."
"FortiGate SD-WAN facilitated a smooth transition for our customers between their two internet service providers, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity without any downtime."
"A strong point of FortiGate is that the graphical interface is complete and easy to use, especially if we think there is a list of operations that we are able to perform inside."
"The IPsec tunnels are very easily created, and quite interoperable with devices from other vendors."
"GajShield has improved our mobile device-based connectivity."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall's best feature is the network DLP."
"The most valuable feature of the GajShield Next Generation Firewall is the user-friendly settings, dashboards, and anti-threat protection. Additionally, the solution upgrades frequently which is good because we receive new features."
"Gajshiled's enterprise cloud and DLP-level features give it an advantage over other products."
"It is an easily scalable solution...The initial setup was very easy."
"The solution's outcome is very high, and we often use it in a very high-traffic environment."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the GUI pre-filtering and the ATP (advanced threat protection)."
"It allows us to block applications, i.e., websites by application type category. It is far more capable than content filtering alone."
"SD-WAN is a good feature."
"The most valuable features are that it is reasonably-priced and works well."
"The solution can scale."
"SonicWall NSA is easy to deploy, easy to maintain, and easy to configure."
"The most valuable features are the VPN, SSL VPN, and IPSec VPN."
"Since SonicWall is a UTM, we have enabled all the features: antivirus, IPS, URL filtering, and content filtering. All of these features are working fine."
"Fortinet currently has many products bundled with FortiGate including the basic firewall and load balancer, and I think that that they need to have separate product portfolios for each of these specialized services."
"There are just some services that aren't available. For example, the Ethernet or point-to-point protocols. They could add these services to their product offering - especially services for ISPs."
"I have to say that the initial setup was complex. The deployment took a few days to get set up. Initially, we were using an IPVanish. We switched to this tool since we thought it would be easier. But it turns out it wasn't easier to set up and run."
"Lacks training for new features."
"With the addition of some features, it is possible that FortiGate can be used in all verticals."
"It's my understanding that more of the current generation features could be brought in. There could be more integration with EDRs, for example."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."
"There are SD-WAN network monitoring, SD-WAN features, Industrial Databases, Internet of Things, Detection, etc., however, we do have not licenses for those features. We thought that if you bought a product, you should have all of the features it offers. Why should you need to make so many extra purchases to enable features? They should have one price for the entire offering."
"The firewall configuration and administration screens could use some improvement."
"We face issues with some configuration parts that we don't understand in the solution, and sometimes we face issues with the VPN connection."
"We raised a support ticket, and the project didn't get a proper response. There was a skill issue in TAC support."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall could improve the flow of the settings. If somebody's using a Cisco firewall or any other brand and they want to use GajShield Next Generation Firewall the platform's UI is a bit different. If it was more similar to the others it would be better."
"Sometimes, we have to use SD-WAN support for the solution, which can be improved by adapting some features that will help our approach to network services."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall would be improved with the addition of a load-balancing feature."
"Gajshield can improve SD-WAN compatibility at an enterprise cloud level."
"The product likely isn't a good fit for a large organization."
"Do not even consider NetExtender - probably one of the most horrific, nightmare grade Java-based VPN clients. We have but all given up trying to make it work reliably."
"I would like U.S.-based technical support."
"One issue with the solution is that no authorization or authentication features exist."
"They are not ready for managed security services. Their Cloud GMS product is weak, barely out of beta (buggy)."
"I would like to see better integration."
"The anti-spam requires a specific Java version on the server side (do not update it, otherwise it will break)."
"The scalability is something that should be improved."
