"Whenever we raise a complaint with FortiGate, their response and resolution times are minimal."
"The IPS is good. It protect my network from attackers."
"FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful."
"The wireless control is helpful."
"This solution has helped our organization by having strong functions and a reliable firewall."
"User-friendly and affordable security solution that's recommended for SMB customers. This solution has good technical support."
"The threat prevention is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The Juniper SRX series is easy to use."
"I like that Juniper SRX is easy to use, scalable, and stable with good performance."
"We did not have problems with scaling, as we have less than 500 users in our organization."
"Juniper is one of the most powerful network security solutions while remaining simple to use, set up, and scale."
"It's easily scalable."
"From a protection perspective, it provides a network perimeter security function for our company."
"The ports are really versatile for their application and don't always have to be used for the purpose for which they were made."
"The deployment is quite easy and fast."
"For a small-medium enterprise this solution is easy to manage and operate."
"Its portal is user-friendly. I am able to manage the user data and access control through this device."
"The user interface is well laid out and understandable."
"The product is a simple and user-friendly UTM that can handle accounting, reporting, firewall, IPS, and antivirus for industries."
"In some circumstances, the malware functionality is the most important feature, and in other cases, some other features."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is the SD-WAN gateway."
"The dashboard is very good-looking and offers maximum features. If a customer's website has a problem, we can guide them over the phone because they can easily find the specific option on the dashboard. That's why we suggest buying Sophos."
"It should be more stable. There should be full integration within Fortinet products themselves as well as with other third-party products. Especially when you're not dealing with SIEM and the correlation of the security box, we want Fortinet to be able to share that information with as many other products as it can."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"The security of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"There are mainly two areas of improvement in Fortinet FortiGate— the licensing cost and the timing of upgrading licenses for boxes."
"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I would like them to add a dashboard because it's difficult to operate."
"The training videos that are available need to be improved, and made more educative."
"The user interface is something that Juniper needs to improve."
"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."
"We purchased three devices and all three have been replaced under RMA."
"The visibility/reporting could be better. To see something, you have to export the log to a syslog and then process with another product."
"Both the web management and the graphical user interface are inadequate and should be improved."
"It should be easier to escalate support tickets."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could have a more advanced reporting function."
"Smaller CR15 units don’t have a hard disc or built in IView software. These units could do with that feature."
"The product fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
"When it comes to web filtering and application filtering, it does not contain enough signatures to determine all of the sites that need to be blocked."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"The reporting part could be more user-friendly for troubleshooting and identifying network issues. It should be more easy for a normal user to identify the problem in their network."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
"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."
