"The most valuable feature is the policy routing and application control."
"The payment function for applications is good."
"The pricing is excellent. It's much less expensive than Cisco."
"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"It is useful for protecting and segregating the internal networks from the internet. Most of our customers also use the FortiGate client to connect to their offices by using the VPN client, and of course, they usually activate the antivirus, deep inspection, and intrusion prevention services. They are also using it for web filtering and implementing various policies dealing with forwardings, NAT, etc."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"Check Point has pretty simple solutions, like the virtual appliance which you just download and it is imported into VMware and you just start using it."
"The visibility is most valuable. It allows us to see all of our devices from one place, and it gives us the ability to manage push updates and things like that from one place."
"The Capsule solution and application filters are the most valuable. It is pretty straightforward to implement, and it also has good stability and scalability. Their technical support is also really good."
"Its centralized control, ease of use, and flexibility are the most valuable for our data center security."

"The product is worth the investment."
"The solution works perfectly without any users."
"The port forwarding is good."
"Good user interface."
"Web Filtering and Application Filtering saves a lot of my bandwidth and improves the user's productivity."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved to make it less confusing and easier to set up."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more storage in the hardware for log data."
"I think there could be more QoS features"
"I would like some automated custom reporting."
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco."
"We would like to see a better training platform implemented."
"Documentation might become too complex or too spread out, especially for newcomers."
"In the next release, including VRF support would be highly beneficial."
"The solution needs to improve the interruptions that happen during gateway upgrades."
"There is room for improvement, especially concerning the integration with the management center. It would be beneficial if tasks that currently require scripts could be performed directly from the GUI."
"Its price is fair, but it can be more favorable."
"The connection to the on-premises management requires using the CLI. It's not just a click, and you cannot edit in the management to prepare everything. You need to do it online and in real time. After that, you must execute a script, and then you should be happy that it appears in the management."
"The product needs to offer multi-tenancy."
"We have Microsoft CASB cloud app security and it's one of the least compatible firewalls. They really need to look at this, as both Check Point and Microsoft are major players. Why aren't they compatible? If we had Palo Alto then we wouldn't have this problem."
"Sometimes, users are timed out intermittently."
"On-box sandstorm should be available. As of now, it is from their cloud."
"The setup is a bit complex, so we needed help from a consultant."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
"Technical support could be faster."
"In my experience the solution can be easier to configure with more documentation, we need more training."
"The product fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud."
