"The threat prevention is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Fortinet has a very good solution for Secure SD-WAN. One very good feature is that they have robust and simple FortiOS through which they provide all solutions. That's their strength. There's not much complexity involved with the Secure SD-WAN solution of Fortinet as compared to Cisco's solution, which has a lot of flexibility but complexity also comes with that flexibility."
"The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"The simplicity of the product is great. It's very easy to use, which is a compliment we get all the time in terms of feedback."
"The CLI and GUI do a good job of putting a lot at your fingertips."
"The next-generation firewall is great."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"It is very stable with no issues. The firewall's been up for the past 35 days non-stop. It's performed great. It has performed as it should perform."
"With the main firewall routing there, we can do connectivity point-to-point. On the low bandwidth we can connect in all the branches with my corporate office."
"I find the security we are able to do with the policies to be valuable. The monitoring is valuable as well."
"The most valuable features have been content filtering, and the interface is easy to navigate and to use."
"It protects against intrusion while allowing needed access."
"The most valuable features are security and technical support."
"They give good protection to my network and support it."
"Good VPN connection."
"It does not have key authentication for admin access."
"The visibility of the network can be better. The GUI can be improved for better visibility of the network flow. Other solutions have better GUI in terms of network visibility."
"Improvement is needed in the Web Filter quotas to restrict users with allocated quotas."
"The scalability could be better."
"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."
"I haven't had a single issue since using Fortinet."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The reporting analytics could be improved, it is very unstable."
"Although the pricing is good, it could always be lower. If we get to pay less, we're happier."
"The log sections could be done more clearly."
"The solution's pricing could be made cheaper."
"I would like the solution to build in more redundancy. I"
"We require centralized monitoring of the network features, which they have but they are not to the level that we require."
"An additional feature that I would like to see is reporting that includes metrics to give me more information about the number of viruses that it has actually detected and interrupted."
"The interface and technical support are probably the two most important things that I would like SonicWall to improve."
