"Overall security features and performance routing is good."
"Fortinet FortiGate's ease of management is the most valuable feature."

"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides."
"The backup is the best feature."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"They have to just improve its performance when we enable all UTM features. When you enable all the features, the performance of FortiGate, as well as of Sophos and SonicWall, goes down."
"I would like to have logs, monitoring, and reporting for a month without extra fees."
"It should be more stable. There should be full integration within Fortinet products themselves as well as with other third-party products. Especially when you're not dealing with SIEM and the correlation of the security box, we want Fortinet to be able to share that information with as many other products as it can."
"The updates Fortinet provides are sometimes unstable."
"It should come integrated or have its own type of network monitor tool in a module. There should just be one package, and you are good to go."
"The reporting in Fortinet FortiGate could improve. Customers are having to purchase additional reporting components. When I have used the Sophos solution it is a complete solution, in Fortinet FortiGate you have to use additional tools to have the features needed."
"The performance and speed are aspects of the solution that could always be improved upon."
"With the reports, you can see it, and you can get good feelings so upper management can go, "Oh, wow. That looks pretty." However, it's very basic."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire could improve by adding support for manual submission of suspicious files and URLs. Additionally, it would be an advantage to add rule-based analysis. Currently, it uses only static and AI. We need to be able to analyze archive files."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"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."
