"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"We mainly use this solution because we have many Fortinet solutions like antivirus and SSL assessment."

"One limitation is that it's harder to provide access to multiple applications in the company with Appgate, but that's probably because of poor management."
"One thing that kind of sticks out to me is the ability to do a proper non-split tunnel. VPN tunnel-wise, it is not really a true unsplit tunnel, but I think that's just because of the way it's designed. A split VPN basically allows your system to talk to other systems without being forced down the tunnel. A VPN running in a non-split tunnel mode forces all the traffic down the tunnel to wherever you're VPNing to. It forces the traffic down so that the traffic is subject to the firewall and rules that you have in your corporate environment and such. It helps to prevent remote malicious folks that may be talking directly to that box from piggybacking into the corporate environment through it. They do it partially, but it would be nice to see more of an enterprise-level solution there."
"It takes too long to install."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"Cloud services are very expensive for us."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect."
