"The technical support is great."
"It's very easy to set up, it's very easy to make policies and, for an organization, that means you don't need IT expert in firewalls. You just need to have somebody who knows a little bit of IT, and that's it. With other products, you need someone with a "Masters" degree in firewalls."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"The network security and cloud security are most valuable."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."

"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"The renewal price and the availability could be improved."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"As far as wanting more scalability or things in the network diagram, it's going to cost you."
"They've become quite expensive."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."

"We had a minor problem where there was a major system upgrade on the hardware platfrom and the Mac client was not available as soon as it might have been. The PC client was available immediately, but we had to wait a month or so, before there was a mac client. I was slightly irritated that it was not ready on time, but it was eventually resolved."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"High availability features are lacking."
