"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are remote access, web filtering, and IPS."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"It is useful for protecting and segregating the internal networks from the internet. Most of our customers also use the FortiGate client to connect to their offices by using the VPN client, and of course, they usually activate the antivirus, deep inspection, and intrusion prevention services. They are also using it for web filtering and implementing various policies dealing with forwardings, NAT, etc."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is good to use, and most importantly, the pricing. The customer especially likes the discount when they trade up or something like that."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the rules and quality of service."
"This is a quality product with ok support, and it is better than the competition we've tried."
"This solution has solid UTM features combined with a nice GUI."
"The product’s technical support team is responsive."
"The scalability is good."
"The solution provides support for 5G connectivity."
"This product uses a non-proprietary command line, which makes it compatible across many different systems."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei Enterprise Routers is if have two networks at different geographical locations with a great deal of distance they work together as if they are on the same cloud network."
"When we started, the connection was amazing for the 100G between the switches and the co-switch. What the students typically use for school is a maximum is 40 so they now have faster technology."
"The product is easy to improve and deploy in terms of configuration for engineers and technical executives."
"We use the solution for point-to-point connectivity, aggregation, and radio connectivity on mTLS."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more capabilities for troubleshooting VPN connections. For example, I do get some feedback about the current status, but I could use some history and logging of important events. The information is logged in our Syslog server, but I could use that information from the device. If they could provide a GUI to have some more insight on what's going with my VPN would be useful."
"Fortinet needs more memory to save the log files. We need it to save the logs on the hardware and not in the cloud. I know this feature is available in FortiCloud, but if we need this log locally, it is not available."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"You do need some IT knowledge in order to effectively work with the solution."
"Due to its higher cost, Fortinet FortiGate can lead to increased operational expenses."

"The user interface could be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in the product's application rules."
"We have found we have to restart the routers or reconfigured them a lot of the time, this issue should improve. The quality of the hardware needs to be more durable."
"The only problem I see is configuration loss."
"We have encountered issues while integrating the product with Enterprise Management Systems. Huawei platform is good for Huawei but we face issues when we integrate it with other models."
"Essentially, they need to open their licensing model such that when a customer buys a device, they have a full view of all of the available licenses for it."
"It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
"The internet speed reduces throughout the day. The tool is not stable."
"There isn't really any scalability potential."
"The product's pricing could be better."
