Cons
"Its price should be better.""When we're upgrading, it's sometimes quite challenging, especially firmware. We usually don't upgrade unless we have a bug, and we still feel it's not safe to react instead of being proactive. We often have some delays when updating FortiGuard, too.""We do find we get a bit of a lag.""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 console or demonstration tool could be more user friendly.""The SSL visibility could be better.""Having a built-in SOC solution like an XDR platform within the solution would be convenient for customers.""As with any IT vendor, there are software issues."

"Puppet Enterprise should improve the general extensibility for places where they can't install it.""It's a bit of a pain point to make sure that everything works once we've upgraded it because Puppet has been evolving pretty fast.""We would like Puppet to add more integration for applications.""At the beginning the initial setup was kind of complex.""Puppet Enterprise is more complex and difficult to configure.""The solution has really complex code, you have to understand the Ruby language. However, once you know the code then you can move ahead without any problems.""There's a lot of scope for enhancement on the DevSecOps side. They should definitely include features for compliance, for both the Linux and Windows side of the devices, as well as for network devices. Compliance is something they need to work on."
