"They need to work on stability, it has not been the best in our experience."
"It's a complicated firewall. Until you come to know the firewall inducers, most people don't like the firewall because the components for the firewall are a little bit complex. User-friendliness is a little bit tough. It needs to be user-friendly when creating policies, and pushing policies. Committing takes more time compared to Palo Alto."
"The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."
"Forcepoint would be improved if there were more training available."
"Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement."
"They should have a local vendor who can provide support. Most of the support is overseas, so the time zones can be a problem."
