"UTM/NGFW features and FortiCloud for logs and backups are awesome."

There are some features that are better that come at no extra license or subscriptions cost, such as basic SD-WAN. The DLT is useful, other solutions have the same feature too, such as Palo Alto."
"The filtering was very good."
"The most valuable feature for us was to implement negligent functionality, to direct functionality to viewer control and application control so we could disconnect, and at the same time, we installed checkpoints. We disconnected our proxy."
"It safeguards against cyber attacks."
"The databases and its signatures are its most important features."

"The tool is stable."
"I'm more inclined towards the conventional firewall. So for me, I'm more geared towards the standard firewall type functionalities as well as the web application firewall because that seems to work fine."
"The firewall engine is not so strong as of now, in my opinion... My second concern is that, while they have Zero-day vulnerability and anti-malware features, the threat engine needs to be strengthened, its efficiency can be increased."
"With FortiGate, the main complaint that I have heard is about the technical support."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"The logging details need to be improved."
"The support system could be improved."
"The renewal price and the availability could be improved."
"Security is a continuous process. In every product, there is a requirement for improvement. Its pricing should also be improved according to Indian market requirements. They must also improve on the reporting part. Its reporting can be more precise. If we can get a real-time report in a specific format, it will be helpful for customers to know about the current status of their security."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"As we don't have a representative of Check Point in Mozambique, this makes it very difficult when we have some issues to resolve."
"Some features that could be improved are advanced threat protection, sandboxing, and vulnerability management."
"Technical support was very bad because the supplier who sold it to us, wasn't very supportive, and he wouldn't giving us direct links to the OEM."
"The interface needs improvement."
"I am not able to see a demo."
"While the technical support is good, the Indian level technical support could use an upgrade."
"What has been the issue of firewalls is they ask me for policies and content filtering application control and all these features that are now part of Harmony."

"The price is obviously a more sensitive area to focus on."
"The product strategy of the manufacturer is strange. I don't understand what they are doing in that regard."
"Maybe network traffic analysis for malware and malicious behavior."
"The product fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Cyberoam UTM needs to have more certifications with third-parties, such as NSS Labs."
"The VPN needs to be improved."
"The solution had a feature to import users from a CSV file. However, the latest version does not have that option."
