"I only deal with it from a security analyst's point of view. I don't really get into the features of the actual FortiGate. From the security point of view, it works, and it does its job."
"It blocks the vulnerabilities that can negatively impact us."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is the simple configuration."

"This product is definitely scalable."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks WildFire are the good URL and file analysis that uses artificial intelligence. It has different interfaces, such as rest, SMTP protocol, and HTTPS. The Security incidents and event management are very good. Additionally, there are many file types that are supported and there is no limit to the number of files it can handle simultaneously. It integrates well with SIEM solutions."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"Remote access is excellent."
"They have many different options with Palo Alto WildFire and the set-up is quick. If you have all the details in hand, it does not take more than 15 minutes to deploy a firewall."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"I would prefer to have more detailed logs within the FortiGate products themselves rather than relying on a separate tool."
"Its reporting and pricing need improvement."

"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The price could be better."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"High availability features are lacking."
