"The Fortinet FortiGate local partners were good. I did not have direct contact with Fortinet support."

The SD-WAN feature has been a plus for us. Two-factor authentication has allowed us to add more users in terms of remote working. We have two-factor authentication for remote workers to authenticate them before they get on the network."

"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"The backup is the best feature."

"Sometimes you do need to know some CLI commands, so it's a bit harder for technicians or new people that don't know it."
"The pricing could be reduced or include the first year warranty."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."

"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"There are some problems that support cannot give you a logical reason as to why it happened. For example, I had a case where I was dealing with a WhatsApp application that was giving issues. Technical support gave more than one reason it could be giving issues, but none of them solved the problem. Eventually I solved the problem, but it was far from the solutions that support had given."

"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"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."
