"I have found most of the features to be good with excellent functionality."
"You have access to CLI in case you have no web access."
"The most significant aspect of IPS is self-explanatory as it primarily focuses on intrusion prevention, which is crucial for Fortinet's internal outbreak prevention efforts and ensuring compliance on endpoint devices."
"We have not had to reach out to FortiGate support yet and that is a pretty good track record."
"Everything has been okay with the solution. We are using all of the features."
"It's very easy to use and configure. What is nice about Palo Alto is that even if you don't understand how to use it, you can just click on upload and upload everything that needs to be blocked."

"The graphical interface could be improved."
"The prevention mechanisms and implementation are not easy."
"It's not so easy to set up a test environment, because it's not so easy to get the test license. The vendor only gives you 90 days for a test license; it's a tough license to get."
"The price of licenses should be lowered to make it less costly to scale our solution."
"The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the only thing I don't like is the support."
"Right now we are focusing on email. If Palo Alto can increase the features related to email filtering and the new malware, it would help us protect our systems."
