You can create a group of users that can access all of the websites for their work. You can limit other users' access."
"The main benefit is the grouping of our security monitoring."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ability to work in proxy mode, which other solutions, such as Palo Alto cannot.

"The captive portal could be improved."
"It can be a little bit more user-friendly in terms of policy definition and implementation. It seems a little bit complicated, and it could be simplified."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."
"While FortiGate is cheaper than most other solutions, we're seeing increased license renewal costs. Most of our clients are asking for more significant discounts because the price is going up."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I don't get proper reports."

"The firewall configuration and administration screens could use some improvement."
"We raised a support ticket, and the project didn't get a proper response. There was a skill issue in TAC support."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall could improve the flow of the settings. If somebody's using a Cisco firewall or any other brand and they want to use GajShield Next Generation Firewall the platform's UI is a bit different. If it was more similar to the others it would be better."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall would be improved with the addition of a load-balancing feature."
"We face issues with some configuration parts that we don't understand in the solution, and sometimes we face issues with the VPN connection."
"They should consider working a bit more on their ransomware application."
"The products' reporting can be improved."

"The VPN that is available in the new version is a bit bulky and slower in speed."
"From a support perspective, if we're talking tech support I think Silver Partners, Gold Partners, Platinum, whatever level, should have a different number to call. End users can call tech support over at SonicWall if they've paid for support as part of their AGSS or whatever services they bought. The end-user can call, or we can call, however, I don't want to be calling the same line that an end user's calling. I don't want the same response time. I need a different level of expertise."
"We require centralized monitoring of the network features, which they have but they are not to the level that we require."
"The marketing of SonicWall has to be increased. Currently, when it comes to firewalls, most people go for Cisco and Palo Alto. SonicWall should improve its marketing and branding policies to increase sales. Other than that, it is good."
"I would like to see lower antivirus pricing."
