"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"Its administrative panel is very intuitive and simple. It is simpler than the other solutions that we had. As an administrator, we are always looking for the easiest solution to manage network policies. We are able to filter everything on our network and also use the VPN feature, which is important these days when people are working remotely during COVID."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very user friendly. We are utilizing most of the features, like content filtering. The firewall is powerful."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"The web filtering feature and the intrusion protection system are the most valuable. It is a resilient appliance. I never had an issue with it in terms of any security breaches."
"Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter."
"I like Fortinet FortiGate's antispam filter, SPN, and clustering features."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"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."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"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."
"You have better control because you define apps. You just don't define ports. You define apps, and the apps are monitored in the traffic. It is more specific than the Cisco firewall when it comes to our needs."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."

"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"Its price could be better."
"They need faster serviceability and more security features."
"The integration with third-party tools may be something that they should work on."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"The deployment model could be better."
