We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use the solution as a firewall.""The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are the protection of internal and remote systems.""FortiGate Cloud's key features are the user interface and ease of access.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is the logs are stored longer on this cloud version. If you have the on-premise version you will not be able to store the logs for more than one or two months.""The sandboxing feature is very important.""The security features, for example, URL filtering, AMP, and advanced threat protection, are very valuable.""I have found the SD-WAN, flexibility, and security the most valuable features.""It's user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature of N-able N-central is the many options it has.""The solution's service is good.""The support is at a good level. So normally, we can always get to a solution when we are stuck with some monitoring problems that we encounter.""It's a very robust product. They're continuing to invest and put new enhancements into the product. They're very open about what their roadmap is, which is very good for us because then as a business, we can plan.""I like the remote connectivity, reporting suite, and patch management module."

Cons
"If you need to scale, you do need to trade up to a new Fortinet solution.""Everything related to the graphical user interface should be improved.""We are seeking a solution that can monitor our network traffic running through 17 firewalls in Malaysia and Indonesia. We want a solution that can record and monitor all the logs from all the firewalls. We want to consolidate all our firewalls into one portal so we can monitor all the activities from all the firewalls.""The SSL visibility could be better.""When it comes to technical support, the problem we have found is that if an issue comes, it takes a day to get everything resolved. It could be faster. They can be better at optimizing how they answer tickets in terms of response times. There must be ways to make the process more streamlined. It would make it easier for their clients.""The solution’s pricing and stability could be improved.""The platform's reporting and analysis capabilities need improvement.""In the email security modules they have in their UTM, maybe they can include more extended or expanded features for the email security where users can have their own portal login to release blocked emails, as an example."

"The integration with other applications could be better.""N-able N-central could improve the remote access, my technicians have complained about it. They have used other free tools instead to compensate, such as TeamViewer. Additionally, when using remote access on the web, it is lacking reports.""The support from our direct team is very good, but the support from their day-to-day ongoing help desk isn't that good. They have still got some work to do on that, but they have been focusing on that a lot over the last number of years. So, it has gotten a lot better than it was.""There is room for improvement in the development of custom monitoring services.""The solution's overall integration should be improved."
