"Allows for firewall rules to be programmed and named in a way that makes it “readable”"

"The stability and scalability of this solution are satisfactory. Its SD-WAN, VPN, and URL filtering features are very useful."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The analysis is very fast."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks WildFire are the good URL and file analysis that uses artificial intelligence. It has different interfaces, such as rest, SMTP protocol, and HTTPS. The Security incidents and event management are very good. Additionally, there are many file types that are supported and there is no limit to the number of files it can handle simultaneously. It integrates well with SIEM solutions."

"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."

"In the next release, I would like to see the interface simplified to be more user-friendly."
"There is a lot of improvement needed with SSL-VPN."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"Maybe they could make some features more accessible, such as a way to translate directions between two networks that share the same subnets."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"The inability to scale the FortiAnalyzer to match our growth necessitates the purchase of new hardware."
"There are mainly two areas of improvement in Fortinet FortiGate— the licensing cost and the timing of upgrading licenses for boxes."
"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."

"The deployment model could be better."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
