"The most important features of Fortinet FortiGate are the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and firewall control applications."
"What I like the most is the configuration and that it's simple, and straightforward to maintain."
"The SD-WAN feature is the most valuable. This feature evolved from link load balancing. It has helped us in terms of our uptime and privatizing applications whenever we experience an outage. The SD-WAN feature has been a plus for us. Two-factor authentication has allowed us to add more users in terms of remote working. We have two-factor authentication for remote workers to authenticate them before they get on the network."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."

"Stability is never a concern."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"The backup is the best feature."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"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 support from Fortinet FortiGate could improve. They are not easily accessible when we need them. They could improve their response time."
"The process of configuring firewall rules appears excessively complex."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"Currently, FortiGate is providing SSL VPN. But they're missing some features that are available in Palo Alto's SSL VPN."
"The improvement is related to logs. Instead of the CLI, we should be able to have more insights into the logs of the firewall in the GUI."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve the integration with Active Directory. Additionally, I would like to have a Cloud Controller, such as they do in the Cisco Meraki solution."
"The scalability could be better."
"The solution could be more evenly structured."
"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 product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
"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."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
