"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."

"We've had some problems with having to remove the current version and either reinstalling an old version or updating to the new one."
"The tool needs to improve its web filtering feature. Its support quality needs improvement. We speak different languages, and this can create misunderstandings."

"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users to do not have as much of a technical background."
"I don't think FortiClient is bad, but it's very buggy. We ran into some issues with the EMS, which amounted to more than 10 cases last year."
"In redundancy mode, when the firewall goes off, the VPN should be able to connect to the secondary firewall automatically."
"Sangfor SSL VPN should provide advanced protection against ransomware and better data analysis."
