"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"We have found it to be very reliable and that's why our teams and various users in our company use it as our main firewall every day."
"In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"I am "headache free" that I don't have to categorize all the websites and that security has been pre categorized by the people, and that the services are getting updated. At least one part of my problem is over."
"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."
"It does give certain protection for everything that is well configured on our McAfee server. We have good protection with it. If we could find a feature and make it work, it would work perfectly, there would be no bugs, and it would be really good."
"The solution works perfectly without any users."
"Its portal is user-friendly. I am able to manage the user data and access control through this device."
"I like the SSL VPN connection. Cyberoam works well for controlling users and authenticating their connection to the internet."
"The product has helped control bandwidth utilization, as well as enhanced connectivity and security to remote locations."
"You can geofence yourself if there is an incoming attack or a continuous ping from a company outside your country."
"The main features I have found best are the load balancer and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the solution is easy to configure for users."
"I like Sophos Cyberoam UTM as a security component or device for organizations. Performance-wise, it's a satisfactory solution, and it works okay. It also has good features."
"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"The cloud features can be improved."
"They need to improve their technical support."
"Web security solutions can be improved."
"We would like to see an upgrade to the VPN feature, we are using the VPN from outside of our office and there is a limitation to 10 connections, more connections would be suitable."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"Customer support and AV are both lacking and are really hard to come to you when the product is installed. Those are the two major points that they need to work on."
"I don't know whether this will be included in an upgrade, but I would like to get the user utility, like seeing where the users are using more of the data."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The solution had a feature to import users from a CSV file. However, the latest version does not have that option."
"Sometimes, users are timed out intermittently."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
"Its scalability is not that great."
"It should have a better VPN client. We decided to find something different than Cyberoam because of the VPN client software. It would be nice to have a user interface not only in English but also in different languages."
