"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."

"The most important feature of this solution is protection from attack."
"Also, if you serve files or you accept files with your server, Fortiweb has built-in antivirus. The Fortinet product family also provides good IP intelligence (botnet C&C, etc.)."
"FortiGate is a stable product."
"The anti-defacement feature is very useful because it looks for web changes over time to protect pages."
"I like FortiWeb's usability and ease of configuration. It's simple to configure rules and exceptions inside the attack log. We block everything by default. If something isn't working, we ask the system admin to adjust the template and add exceptions."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"I would like to see interoperability with other Cisco products because we have ThousandEyes, Cisco Prime, and others. The interaction among these is important to us."

"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
"I would like to have an antivirus option."
"The initial setup process could be improved."
"Most of the deployment is done by our development team because they have some parameters that match the configuration. However, when we initially did the deployment we used a consultant company."
"The product's scalability could be better."
"I would like to see the Application Delivery Control (ADC) and Web Application Firewall (WAF) combined in one device."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration with solutions other than the Fortinet family."
"We want to see more detailed logging, such as audit logging, as this would significantly enhance the solution's reporting. We currently get some information from logs, but more would be better."
"The dashboard evaluating the performance of each application connected to the web app's firewall is quite helpful, but the tool is only available in application performance management. So I think if Fortinet could better integrate that particular feature, it would add a lot of value to the product."
