"The features that I have found valuable are the ones for the main purpose we are using Juniper - its firewall to protect our network for our internet access."

"The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."
"I need user-behavior analytics, to find threat scenarios from inside the organization, insider attacks. That would be very helpful for us. In addition, I would like next-generation features for small and medium businesses. These businesses require UTM, all in one product. Fortinet must include it."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"Both the web management and the graphical user interface are inadequate and should be improved."

"The Traffic Discovery feature should allow administrators to disconnect unnecessary live connections."
"The documentation is not straightforward."
"Smaller CR15 units don’t have a hard disc or built in IView software. These units could do with that feature."
"I have problems with the email filtering. Emails pass through without any filtering affecting them. When I get back to them and tell them this is the issue, they check everything and say it is not in their database signature and they have to update it. But you know, by that time, my user has already opened it."
"I would like to see a better content management pack and also the website searching should be better."
"We use different workarounds and find different solutions for it, depending on the client's needs. We shouldn't have to, we should just be able to use the product as it comes with Cyberoam, rather than having to revert to other products."
"The product is at its end-of-life. There is nothing to improve as it will be discontinued."
"The product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently."
