"The most valuable features are that it is very simple to configure and to manage."
"The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."
"The most valuable features are the possibility of having one fabric for switching on security."
"I really like the captive portal feature for our guest network. It has nice VLAN features in terms of separating our network. The anti-virus is also good."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"Detailed reporting on analysis of content. The inspections are easily applied to security policy profiles and profile groups, and may be assigned on a per-rule basis."
"I love the idea of Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It's more geared toward preventing malware. If someone's laptop or phone is malware-infected, the tool prevents it from uploading valuable corporate data outside the corporate network. That's what I love about Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It stops malware in its tracks."
"Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. However, my issue is the performance only. When I use all the profiles, this affects the performance. From the beginning, I should have had a better sizing of the box."
"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"Some configuration elements cannot be easily altered once created."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"In the balance between links feature normally you can just choose one option to balance. It would be better for the solution to have more than one option, preferably three."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire should be more real-time in nature. The signature updates should happen in a minute or less than a minute to be a very good feature for the customer."
"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."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"High availability features are lacking."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"The price could be better."
