"The product, itself, doesn't seem to have any bugs or glitches."
"In some circumstances, the malware functionality is the most important feature, and in other cases, some other features."

"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"They should improve the interface to make it more user-friendly."
"There can be more security in hybrid implementations. When a customer has a hybrid environment where some parts are in the cloud, we need a consistent security solution for such scenarios."
"It would be nice if FortiGate incorporated some built-in endpoint protection features. I would also like a built-in SOC dashboard for managing multiple Fortinet firewalls."
"The blocking needs to be improved."
"Sophos VPN connectivity could be improved, as it can be lengthy, and users take longer to connect"
"I don't know whether this will be included in an upgrade, but I would like to get the user utility, like seeing where the users are using more of the data."
"The product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM has room for improvement in specific rules-based objects and redesign. The solution also needs to improve in adding rules and policies, including renewing and finding policies."
"The product is at its end-of-life. There is nothing to improve as it will be discontinued."
"It should have better VPN protection. Some of the VPN applications are not blocked by this firewall. Some VPNs are able to get through this firewall, which is why I am planning to replace this firewall with a good one in the near future."
"Network visibility is an area in the solution with shortcomings where improvements can be made."
