"Centralized monitoring, policy management, and virtualized appliances allow us to take control over our public and private infrastructure."
"The integration with Active Directory is one of the good features. Most of the customers are now looking for the Single Sign-on feature. So, being able to integrate Active Directory with the firewall is useful. It is also easy."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"It gives a more accurate assessment of a virus in terms of whether it's truly a virus, malware, or a false positive. We have some legacy software that could pop up as being something that is malware. WildFire goes through and inspects it, and then it comes back and lets us know if it's a false positive. Usually, when it finds out that it's not a virus, it lets us know that it's benign, and it can exclude it from that scan, which means I don't even have to worry about that one popping up anymore."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"They have to just improve its performance when we enable all UTM features. When you enable all the features, the performance of FortiGate, as well as of Sophos and SonicWall, goes down."
"The central management for the FortiGate Fortinet Firewall needs improvement. They have the manager to do the essential management for both SD-WAN and for the security policy. They should also improve the SD-WAN function."
"The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement."
"The cloud management and automation capability could be improved."
"Tunnel flapping was one of the major things I had seen wherein your internet link remains but your VPN tunnel is down. However, since I got a fix from the TAC team, I have not noticed it, but the customer complained a few times that they couldn't access the internet because of this problem."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard and UI, as well as to the reporting."
"The graphical user interface of Fortinet's FortiGate product does not function well with text-based interfaces."
"It needs to improve its ISP load balancing."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
