"FortiGate has a very strong unified threat management system."
"A strong point of FortiGate is the graphical interface is complete and easy to use."
"The interface is very user-friendly and I like it very much."
"The reporting and monitoring are very good."
"User-friendly and affordable security solution that's recommended for SMB customers. This solution has good technical support."

"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"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."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"For example, if a security Intel threat talks about an IOC. We can then go to our MSP and say, "Is there a signature for this particular type of malware that just came out?" And if they'll say yes, then we'll say, "Okay. Does it apply to these firewalls? And have we seen any hits on it?" There's absolutely value in it."
"The backup is the best feature."
"They have many different options with Palo Alto WildFire and the set-up is quick. If you have all the details in hand, it does not take more than 15 minutes to deploy a firewall."
"The technical support is good."
"The biggest "gotcha" is that if the client purchases what they call the UTM shared bundle, which has unified threat management on both, it's not as easy to manage if you have more than one firewall."
"It is very expensive, and their support is not very good. I hope that their technical support will be better in the future."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Fortinet currently has many products bundled with FortiGate including the basic firewall and load balancer, and I think that that they need to have separate product portfolios for each of these specialized services."
"The non-error conserve mode has room for improvement."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"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 threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
