"The initial setup of this solution is easy."

"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."

"Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized."
"I'd also love to see them add full MDM support, but I appreciate that that's not the product market. If it did come in, I'd be more than happy to look at additional modules. It was probably one of the easiest products I've ever had to deploy it, but if it's not capable of doing MD, then that's going to impact its usefulness to us."
"The application control and URL filtering features are not very strong."
"From an improvement perspective, the major challenge we've faced with Harmony is the support."
"It gives you an alert for malicious sites, which, after searching on the Google database, don't come out to be the same."

"Initially, the support was very poor. It is getting better, but they should continue to improve this."
"For buying or deploying it with additional features, apart from VPN client, web security, or antivirus, I would like to see the USB key blocking function included in this solution for endpoint security. For endpoint security, you need antivirus and all of the features included in antivirus software these days, web security, and USB key locking feature. If it is implemented in a way that in one package, you have all the primary features needed for security these days, it would be nice. All of those features will probably be additionally charged as it is a web security feature on FortiClient."
"The solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features."
"The connectivity could be improved."
"The tool is expensive."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
