"The security on offer is very good."
"Initial setup is straightforward. There weren't too many issues with setting it up. It takes one hour or so."
"Whenever I need something, Fortinet improves and updates the software for me."
"I only deal with it from a security analyst's point of view. I don't really get into the features of the actual FortiGate. From the security point of view, it works, and it does its job."
"The solution can scale well."
"The IPsec tunnels are very easily created, and quite interoperable with devices from other vendors."
"Secure, user-friendly, stable, and scalable network security solution. Installation is straightforward."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"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."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"It claims it does DLP, but the degree and level of controls are very basic."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"There are some license issues. Not every feature must have a separate license. There must be some of kind synergy between the license so we don't have to pay for every individual license that we would like to have."
"Bandwidth usage in reporting could be improved for Fortinet FortiGate."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"The pricing could be reduced or include the first year warranty."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
