"The IPsec tunnels are very easily created, and quite interoperable with devices from other vendors."
"Good performance, stability, and virtual domain ability."
"Its user interface is good, and it is always working fine."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"The most valuable feature is robustness."
"The solution's stability is very good."
"The product provides good performance and has features comparable to other leading products in the market."
"We think they have a good interface, the operating system is good, it's robust. It has plenty of great features, and the relation between the cost and benefits works for our business."
"From a protection perspective, it provides a network perimeter security function for our company."
"The virtualization feature is the most valuable feature. Sometimes customers are requesting a private connection using mobile data when they are connecting to remote sites."
"We did not have problems with scaling, as we have less than 500 users in our organization."
"The GUI is simple to use."
"There are plenty of features available, such as Full Guard and WAN."
"Web Filtering and Application Filtering saves a lot of my bandwidth and improves the user's productivity."
"SD-WAN and IPSec features are valuable to me."
"I'm more inclined towards the conventional firewall. So for me, I'm more geared towards the standard firewall type functionalities as well as the web application firewall because that seems to work fine."
"For a small-medium enterprise this solution is easy to manage and operate."
"The most valuable feature is the IPSec forwarding."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Good user interface."
"There are mainly two areas of improvement in Fortinet FortiGate— the licensing cost and the timing of upgrading licenses for boxes."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
"It would be nice if FortiGate incorporated some built-in endpoint protection features. I would also like a built-in SOC dashboard for managing multiple Fortinet firewalls."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"Its price could be better."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."
"It's a good stable firewall, but it's nowhere near what it needs to be for a next-generation type firewall."
"In the future, I would like to see the UI more responsive"
"It could improve areas which need high performance."
"The GUI needs to be easier and more helpful for users who don't have security experience."
"The big thing is performance. With all the features turned on it slows down."
"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."
"There are a lot of features that customers do not know about and I think that better documentation would help when it comes to learning how to use the product."
"It would be good if Junos had "unique commands" between all hierarchical levels, discarding the use of the "Run" command."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM has room for improvement in specific rules-based objects and redesign. The solution also needs to improve in adding rules and policies, including renewing and finding policies."
"The reporting should be improved as well as the backup."
"I would say there's room for improvement in terms of the GUI. Because it is better than some of the other standard firewalls. They have the drag and drop features."
"While the security features are excellent, they could be improved."
"Hence, it needs to be easier to configure rules using the solution."
"The implementation policy needs improvment."
"Sometimes, users are timed out intermittently."
"In my experience the solution can be easier to configure with more documentation, we need more training."
