"The user interface (UI) is very, very good."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"We can detect any attack of viruses or malware at the first point of contact."
"I like Fortinet's cloud management. It allows me to manage all my devices in different branches for three cloud accounts. Even though I use on-prem devices, I can manage everything on the cloud."
"It provides visibility and drives organizational security."
"The solution is very robust."
"We can create a domain to separate and segregate some functions, some services."
"The UTM platform has been the most valuable."
"The filtering was very good."
"The most valuable feature for us was to implement negligent functionality, to direct functionality to viewer control and application control so we could disconnect, and at the same time, we installed checkpoints. We disconnected our proxy."
"The databases and its signatures are its most important features."
"It safeguards against cyber attacks."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"Ease of use is the best feature of the product."

"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"I like how you can configure the rules. There is the task for the rules and a task for the network configuration. It also provides SMD filtering, and it can be integrated with the active directory for the users, their mission, and the VPN configuration. We are here in Sudan, and Stormshield didn't work in Sudan for more than a decade. Stormshield is a very strong firewall and very easy to configure and maintain. I am just working with the firewall solution, and we don't have any other solutions like endpoint solutions or something like that."
"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."
"There are some license issues. Not every feature must have a separate license. There must be some of kind synergy between the license so we don't have to pay for every individual license that we would like to have."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"The pricing could always be better."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"The captive portal could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more storage in the hardware for log data."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"It should come integrated or have its own type of network monitor tool in a module. There should just be one package, and you are good to go."
"The solution could be improved if there was a better way to report. The reporting functionality is not really good. Even though it's not the major function. Maybe adding a way to make a custom report."
"While the technical support is good, the Indian level technical support could use an upgrade."
"Specifically on the user experience, sometimes the set up of things, such as the VPN SSL, takes a lot of time to load and a lot of time to get up and running on every session."
"What has been the issue of firewalls is they ask me for policies and content filtering application control and all these features that are now part of Harmony."
"As we don't have a representative of Check Point in Mozambique, this makes it very difficult when we have some issues to resolve."
"Some features that could be improved are advanced threat protection, sandboxing, and vulnerability management."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The interface needs improvement."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."
"This is not a next-generation firewall."
"This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved."
