"The most outstanding feature is being able to centralize each of the functions in a single device."
"It provides visibility and drives organizational security."

"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"The pricing could be a bit better, especially when you consider how they have the most basic offering priced."
"For the migration, everyone has a firewall in use and I am selling Fortinet. Typically, I am replacing another firewall. Previously, there was a tool available to convert configurations from one firewall, such as Palo Alto, to Fortinet, but this tool is no longer free. If it could be made free again, it would be very beneficial."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve by integrating the web application firewall and the DDoS protection part of the solution. Having a WAF feature, web application firewall, and proxy together would be a good benefit."
"With FortiGate, the main complaint that I have heard is about the technical support."
"Fortinet currently has many products bundled with FortiGate including the basic firewall and load balancer, and I think that that they need to have separate product portfolios for each of these specialized services."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"As we don't have a representative of Check Point in Mozambique, this makes it very difficult when we have some issues to resolve."
"While the technical support is good, the Indian level technical support could use an upgrade."
"Specifically on the user experience, sometimes the set up of things, such as the VPN SSL, takes a lot of time to load and a lot of time to get up and running on every session."
"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."
"I am not able to see a demo."
"Some features that could be improved are advanced threat protection, sandboxing, and vulnerability management."
"The interface needs improvement."
"The configuration requires an expert to be set up, so it could be made simpler."
"The solution's pricing could be a problem for some small businesses."
"The policy is a bit too vague."
"VPN configuration is not very swift."
"We have had some issues with technical support, which is an area that needs improvement."
"Needs a mail alert/notification when the device loses any of its connections, during ISP redundancy implementation."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"Once in a while, an unwanted email will slip in. You have to set your parameters to avoid that happening, but once in a while, an email has slipped past firewall. Once you update the firmware, you notice that it doesn't happen. If an email slips in, I get a little bit worried. I do get the report, but you just don't want that situation happening in the first place."
