"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."

"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It enables us to patch our systems quickly and within expectations and to increase our volume as needed. It has also helped us compress our patch sites. We used to do it monthly but now we do it weekly."
"BigFix has always been easier to use when managing servers, especially when you deal with so many servers. We have 7,000. That's a lot of services to manage, and it's convenient to patch them all at once."
"The most valuable and essential features of BigFix are all of them, they are needed when serving the purpose of the desktop operation framework. We cannot run operations without patching or without having an appropriate mechanism for deploying software, et cetera. The features all serve their purpose for our use case."
"It is user-friendly."
"BigFix helped us to identify the compliance of devices and has also improved the way that we manage our software inventory for reporting to vendors."
"The most valuable point is when you deploy an application, you have to make sure that the application has been deployed to all computers and that is working perfectly. This solution works well at deployments."
"It allows us to quickly deploy capabilities that we need, whether it be security or non-security. We use it to keep systems up to date, deploy new drivers, find the information we need in the case of security incidents. The capability allows us to gather a lot of information very quickly and it also allows us to have a centralized reporting feature and a centralized deployment capability which is nice."
"It's very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the stability, it's actually tailored for that."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the remote management capability."
"The tool's GUI is user-friendly."
"FortiGate Cloud's key features are the user interface and ease of access."
"This is a vast system that includes a lot of features."
"The solution offers good network performance and efficiency."
"We use the solution as a firewall."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has security features like DDoS protection and UTM."
"The solution is not stable."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The support needs improvement."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"I would like to see more custom content."
"I would like to see the integration of user security between the different products to be improved. There's separate security for compliance, separate security for web reports, and the console, and you have to manage those things separately."
"We would like to see a different license plan, e.g. to include features from lifecycle with Patch Management, as an example."
"The solution should have some kind of a local caching methodology, where the patches can be taken locally into a localized relay server, and from there, the patch can be applied, so that there is not much usage of the network required."
"I would like to see more integration with external data."
"I'm looking for them to make big web UI improvements."
"The solution could improve by adding support drivers for different systems and equipment. When you have a lot of different computers if they could fix how to install any updates, firmware, or drivers for different systems or servers it would be good."
"I remember doing restarts a few times. So, making sure that it is rock solid from an executable perspective is important."
"I would like to see Wi-Fi management inside the firewall."
"We needed to do some training to be able to implement Fortinet FortiGate Cloud and after the training, we did the implementation in-house."
"It would be much better if Fortinet FortiGate Cloud allowed third-party integrations like multi factor-authentication."
"As with any IT vendor, there are software issues."
"I would like to see a SIEM bundled together with this because customers are looking into better reporting and more proactive security solutions."
"Everything related to the graphical user interface should be improved."
"The solution should include a commit button that allows for review of changes and deployments before they are submitted."
"The console or demonstration tool could be more user friendly."
