Parsers have to be rebuilt. Even the FortiGate guys came in and said that they don't play well in the sandbox."
"FortiOS is not simple."

"The non-error conserve mode has room for improvement."
"The pricing could be reduced or include the first year warranty."

"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
