"It is a good source for firewall protection."
"The usage in general is pretty good."
"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."
"Their proxy-based inspection is responsive and secure."
"The user interface (UI) is very, very good."

"The solution offers sandboxing, which can be integrated at any time."

"I have found that Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is easy to use, highly secure, and the main VPN tunnel is created automatically which is a benefit."
"This is a good security product."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well.

"There are SD-WAN network monitoring, SD-WAN features, Industrial Databases, Internet of Things, Detection, etc., however, we do have not licenses for those features. We thought that if you bought a product, you should have all of the features it offers. Why should you need to make so many extra purchases to enable features? They should have one price for the entire offering."
"The feature which gives us a lot of pain is ASIC architecture."
"Fortinet doesn't provide multiple virtual firewalls which would facilitate end users and customers."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"Their software support needs improvement. I would prefer to have better support for bug fixes. Sometimes, we open a ticket, and it is very difficult to get a solution. Specifically, we are not at all happy with their support for load balancing."
"The cloud features can be improved."
"The renewal price and the availability could be improved."
"They should have a local vendor who can provide support. Most of the support is overseas, so the time zones can be a problem."
"While they offer a comprehensive bundled solution, some users may prefer on-premise deployments for certain features, such as URL filtering."
"The network interface could be better, and it could be cheaper."
"Management could be better. They can improve the management. I think all our customers can't accept firewalls that have standalone management. So, they prefer Fortinet or Palo Alto. But overall, inspection and other features are working fine."
"It's a complicated firewall. Until you come to know the firewall inducers, most people don't like the firewall because the components for the firewall are a little bit complex. User-friendliness is a little bit tough. It needs to be user-friendly when creating policies, and pushing policies. Committing takes more time compared to Palo Alto."
"My team is looking for more throughput and better integration with our security framework."
"When it comes to a complex deployment, the rules, firewall features, SD-WAN core features, and auto-scaling can cause the device to be not quite stable."
"You do need knowledge of the solution in order to set the product up properly."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"There are occasional bugs."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
