"Anti-Spam web content filterinG."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"The security features are about the best that I've seen anywhere."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a scalable solution."
"This solution made it very easy to manage our bandwidth."
"The stability of the solution is excellent, as it is with other Fortinet products."
"A strong point of FortiGate is that the graphical interface is complete and easy to use, especially if we think there is a list of operations that we are able to perform inside."
"The command line in Juniper SRX is extremely powerful, in my opinion. It's one of the best command lines I've used in networking products."
"It protects the data behind our switches."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"One of Juniper SRX's most valuable features is the site-to-site VPN."
"On a scale from one to ten, one being the worst and ten being the best I'd give Juniper SRX an overall rating of eight because of its' competitive price."
"The ports are really versatile for their application and don't always have to be used for the purpose for which they were made."
"I have used technical support quite a bit, and they are really good."
"The GUI is simple to use."
"Having a firewall solution with a data quota is very important when the bandwidth is limited, which really distinguishes it from other products."
"Its portal is user-friendly. I am able to manage the user data and access control through this device."
"Web and content filtering are valuable in preventing people from abusing the network and pushing up the bandwidth price."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The tool's robust features allow for the customization of policies, objects, and firewall settings."
"There are plenty of features available, such as Full Guard and WAN."
"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."
"The user interface is well laid out and understandable."
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve if it had a cloud-managed solution."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."
"The integration with third-party tools may be something that they should work on."
"Its reporting and pricing need improvement."

"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"It should be easier to escalate support tickets."
"Both the web management and the graphical user interface are inadequate and should be improved."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"The range of devices should be expanded to include those suitable for a small implementation. Juniper does not have any lower-priced SRX models, useful perhaps for a single ATM or a single bank branch."
"There is room for improvement in scalability and performance. It's scalable and reliable, but when using next-generation firewall features, the performance decreases significantly for Juniper SRX."
"Improvements can be made to the GUI. The GUI can be improved by creating policies to handle IPS requirements. The configuration should be a one-step process. This would make it easier to complete the setup to register the time of operation."
"The reporting is lacking."
"The product strategy of the manufacturer is strange. I don't understand what they are doing in that regard."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"Cyberoam configuration is done through the browser, which is one of the places that viruses spread."
"There are some issues with logs and report limitations."
"Maybe network traffic analysis for malware and malicious behavior."
"The product is at its end-of-life. There is nothing to improve as it will be discontinued."
"The solution is at its end of life and some of the appliances are finishing."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
