"The most valuable feature is robustness."
"The high availability of the application is good."
"The most valuable features are the firewall section, the VPN, and how you control live users."
"The best feature is the flexibility the product offers, in terms of remote access. What we had before was a decentralized mechanism in our organization, but after having this product we were able to get the remote locations into the same LAN. We were able to control the bandwidth and were able to take virtual access of those machines and give them the support, as and when required."
"The product is a simple and user-friendly UTM that can handle accounting, reporting, firewall, IPS, and antivirus for industries."
"The solution is excellent for web and application filtering and remote access with the VPN."
"The security capabilities are okay."
"In some circumstances, the malware functionality is the most important feature, and in other cases, some other features."

"In terms of features and user-friendliness, the solution is good. It’s very stable. The solution is scalable. In Sophos Cyberoam UTM, the most valuable features are web and application filtering, routing functionalities, and VPN. It has helped us manage the bandwidth."
"Its filtering is sometimes too precise or strict. We sometimes have to bypass and authorize some of the sites, but they get blocked. We know that they are trusted sites, but they are blocked, and we don't know why."
"Fortinet should focus on enhancing the capabilities of FortiGate by consolidating its various products, such as FortiGate Cloud, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer."
"Quality control on their firmware versions needs improvement. When they introduce new firmware, there tend to be bugs."
"A lack of integration between our data centers."
"The search tool needs improvement. It's very difficult to search for policies right now."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"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 main aspect of FortiGate that could be improved is load balancing. Our management team does not want to buy another appliance for only load balancing."
"It does have its nuances in terms of deployment. There are always areas to make something easier or more intuitive or make the system auto-negotiate more with existing hardware."
"The visibility/reporting could be better. To see something, you have to export the log to a syslog and then process with another product."
"The workplace management console needs improvement. It should be a little bit more developed. Also, the interface needs a bit more improvement."
"It could improve areas which need high performance."
"Its logging is very good, but we would like to have an easier way of creating more reports. We would like to be able to manipulate the reports or manage the way the reports are coming out."
"Their models for service providers could improve."
"It did not improve our safety because the IDS does not detect some attacks, but our anti-virus software did."
"While the GUI is pretty good on the Juniper side, there can still be tweaks made to it that will make it even better."
"The blocking needs to be improved."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud."
"I had an issue when I was trying to stop a user from using too much bandwidth while I was using Azure, I was not able to stop them."
"Technical support could be faster."
"Cyberoam UTM needs to have more certifications with third-parties, such as NSS Labs."
"SD-WAN should be included in the tool."
"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."
