"Secure, user-friendly, stable, and scalable network security solution. Installation is straightforward."
"Customers want to load balance more than eight lines or six internet lines. FortiGate is the only solution that can accomplish this."
"The technical support is great."
"It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers."
"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."

"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"I need user-behavior analytics, to find threat scenarios from inside the organization, insider attacks. That would be very helpful for us. In addition, I would like next-generation features for small and medium businesses. These businesses require UTM, all in one product. Fortinet must include it."

"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."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"I think it would be nice for Palo Alto to work without the connection to the cloud. It is 100% powerful when connected to the cloud. But, if you disconnect from the cloud, you only get 40-50% power."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
