"As far as wanting more scalability or things in the network diagram, it's going to cost you."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall could improve the flow of the settings. If somebody's using a Cisco firewall or any other brand and they want to use GajShield Next Generation Firewall the platform's UI is a bit different. If it was more similar to the others it would be better."

"During initial configuration, I encountered a few issues."
"Initially, there were issues with the wireless network as wireless access points were disappearing from the dashboard after some time."
"The reporting could improve by providing information on where, or from which device attacks are coming from. We are already given the country where the attack is coming from but more information would be beneficial."
"The virus updates will always depend on new viruses that are discovered. Maybe they can send a notification or a reminder for update time."
