"The payment function for applications is good."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"It's very easy to configure."
"This solution has solid UTM features combined with a nice GUI."
"All of the features of Fortinet FortiGate are useful and the security protection is good."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the different types of profiling. It has been the most effective for me. The WAF and the antivirus profile are the most effective in network protection."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"Stability is never a concern."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."
"This product needs to have an analysis feature, rather than having the analysis done through the integration of a different product."
"The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"One of the problems I was having was with user mapping, and it is an issue for which I have escalated tickets with Fortinet support."
"There are SD-WAN network monitoring, SD-WAN features, Industrial Databases, Internet of Things, Detection, etc., however, we do have not licenses for those features. We thought that if you bought a product, you should have all of the features it offers. Why should you need to make so many extra purchases to enable features? They should have one price for the entire offering."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"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."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"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."
"The price could be better."
