"The databases and its signatures are its most important features."

"It provides visibility and drives organizational security."
"It safeguards against cyber attacks."
"The solution is very robust."
"The most outstanding feature is being able to centralize each of the functions in a single device."

"Firewalls help us a lot in controlling traffic on our network and preventing unauthorized access."
"It does give certain protection for everything that is well configured on our McAfee server. We have good protection with it. If we could find a feature and make it work, it would work perfectly, there would be no bugs, and it would be really good."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"I don't really have anything negative to say as far as Fortinet firewalls are concerned. If anything, they can support a user a little bit better. They can stop being so time-sensitive about how much time the support call has taken, and they can help you do it yourself."
"It claims it does DLP, but the degree and level of controls are very basic."
"In the balance between links feature normally you can just choose one option to balance. It would be better for the solution to have more than one option, preferably three."

"The solution is very expensive."
"We sometimes have issues with FortiGate's routing table in the latest firmware update. We had to downgrade the device because our customers complained about bugs."
"There are some cloud-based features that could be much more flexible than they currently are."
"As we don't have a representative of Check Point in Mozambique, this makes it very difficult when we have some issues to resolve."
"While the technical support is good, the Indian level technical support could use an upgrade."
"Some features that could be improved are advanced threat protection, sandboxing, and vulnerability management."
"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."
"The interface needs improvement."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"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."
"I am not able to see a demo."
"Customer support and AV are both lacking and are really hard to come to you when the product is installed. Those are the two major points that they need to work on."
