"Initial setup is easy to configure."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"Whenever I need something, Fortinet improves and updates the software for me."
"The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"Customers are more inclined towards FortiGate because of application control, web filtering, and anti-spam features. The support from the FortiGate team is good, and price-wise, it is affordable."
"All of the features of Fortinet FortiGate are useful and the security protection is good."
"The solution is very, very easy to use."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"The solution is scalable."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"It is quite new for us, and we need to go more in-depth into the monitoring tools. It provides different features that we need to do what we want. So far, it is okay for us. In terms of improvement, in the future, they can provide a faster implementation of features. Some of the features are first available in other solutions. Fortinet sometimes takes a little bit longer than other solutions, such as Check Point, to implement new features."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"FortiGate support could do some improvements on their IPv6 configuration. Right now it's still in the very early stage for utilizing in an enterprise level network environment."
"I would prefer to have more detailed logs within the FortiGate products themselves rather than relying on a separate tool."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
