"It needs more available central management."
"The biggest "gotcha" is that if the client purchases what they call the UTM shared bundle, which has unified threat management on both, it's not as easy to manage if you have more than one firewall."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"It would be nice if backups could more easily migrate between different models."
"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."
"The company should update the URL filtering database. They need to enhance the URL filtering and make it easier to customize."
"They should provide more details on potential cyber threats."
"The solution's support could use improvement."
"The interface is complicated. It's difficult to locate all the necessary menus and functions."
"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."
"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."
"The endpoint protection capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It integrates well but it takes time."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."

"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"Price is a significant factor that requires attention to enhance the popularity of Tipping Point among mid-sized data centres. Currently, Tipping Point is primarily adopted by sizable data centres, and smaller defenders might find it financially challenging to acquire. Recognizing this, efforts are underway to potentially introduce diverse models with varying capacities. This adjustment aims to ensure that a broader range of data sizes can benefit from the solution. Also, the continuous evolution of Tipping Point is evident in its features, particularly the personalized dashboard and related aspects."
