"The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."

"The reporting and monitoring are very good."
"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"Fortinet FortiGate is stable. It's used across all the countries, this is the way most multinationals run their system."

"The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
