"The interface is very user-friendly and I like it very much."
"Initial setup is easy to configure."
"A strong point of FortiGate is the graphical interface is complete and easy to use."
"It'sa very secure device, it has good attack prevention capabilities using UTM."
"Great as an inter-segmentation firewall or border or arch-firewall."
"It provides good routing and high performance of the data center."
"Most of our clients use it as a traditional firewall, blocking Layer 3 and Layer 4, blocking by transport."

"We have never had to restart a firewall. The firewalls have all worked perfectly fine."
"The product has helped control bandwidth utilization, as well as enhanced connectivity and security to remote locations."
"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."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."
"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."
"Bandwidth usage in reporting could be improved for Fortinet FortiGate."

"The reporting is lacking."
"It could improve areas which need high performance."
"The user interface is something that Juniper needs to improve."
"The solution is quite advanced. You need a lot of training to use it effectively."
"It could have features that other products support like blade options and stand-alone endpoint security."
"It did not improve our safety because the IDS does not detect some attacks, but our anti-virus software did."
"IPS is one that I would definitely want to be improved. I would also like SSL VPN to be integrated."
"In comparison to other enterprise-level firewalls, such as Cisco FTD, Cisco has improved significantly. In the past, I believed that Juniper SRX was superior, but after seeing the advancements in the FTD platform, Cisco has better functionality. I have not recently explored Juniper SRX's next-generation firewall capabilities as we only use basic firewall filtering in our enterprise network."
"The product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently."
"I would like to see real-time alerts on traffic insights."
"What needs improvement in Sophos Cyberoam UTM is openness in the competition among Sophos partners or any other Sophos product. Another area for improvement in the solution is pricing. It could be cheaper."

"We have had some issues with technical support, which is an area that needs improvement."
"Sometimes, during part of the configuration, if you don't have a lot of technical knowledge, then you may struggle a bit to configure it."

"The solution is at its end of life and some of the appliances are finishing."
