"The inspection and web security features are most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is the simple configuration."
"Fortigate represents a really scalable way of delivering perimeter network security, some level of layer 7 security, WAF, and also a way to create a meshed ADVPN solution."
"FortiGate is very simple to manage and easy to use."
"The security fabric is excellent."
"This product is definitely scalable."
"We've found the solution to be pretty stable."
"The VPN features in CloudGuard Network Security have been the most valuable for us."
"The installation process doesn't take very long."
"The notifications, the visibility, and the deployment are the most valuable. It could be packaged in such a way that it took a lot of time and resources off our hands, so it was more efficient."
"Check Point CloudGuard Network Security has a beautiful threat emulation different from the market."
"The ease of administration with the cloud management extension and the cloud licensing model is valuable."
"It improves the availability of engineers to carry out projects."

"I like how straightforward it is and simple it is to implement in the cloud."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"They can do more tests before they release new versions because I would like to be more assured. We had some experiences where they release something new and great, but some of the old features are disabled or they don't work well, which impacts the product satisfaction. The manufacturer should be able to prove that everything works or not only that it might work. This is applicable to most of the other services, software, and hardware companies. They all should work on this. We cannot trust every new release, such as a beta release, on the first day. We wait for some comments on the forums and from other companies that we know. We always wait a few weeks before we use the updated version. They should also extend the VPN client application, especially for Linux versions. Currently, it has an application for Linux devices, but it doesn't work the way we want to connect to the VPN. They use only the old connection, not the new one. They have VPN client applications for Windows and Mac, but they can add more useful features to better manage the devices and monitor the current health of each device. Such features would be helpful for our company."
"It does not have key authentication for admin access."
"We have an issue with hotel guest vouchers."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"While FortiGate is cheaper than most other solutions, we're seeing increased license renewal costs. Most of our clients are asking for more significant discounts because the price is going up."
"I don't like that anything more than very basic reporting is not included."
"The performance and speed are aspects of the solution that could always be improved upon."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility."
"The initial setup is complex and could be made simpler."
"The product can still grow."
"The business and product development team should introduce a high-end feedback collection mechanism and analyze the customer requirements constructively."
"CheckPoint CloudGuard could be better at solving cases."
"The product needs to offer multi-tenancy."
"Sometimes, if you aren't familiar with the solution, it can be a bit complex, but it does become easier to use with time. However, every time they launch a new version, it becomes more complex and you need to take time to get familiar with all the changes. For every version that they upgrade, you need to upskill yourself."
"The documentation has been rough. Being able to do it yourself can be hit or miss given the constraints of the documentation."
"We have the product deployed on Azure China. One crucial concern is the version limitation; unfortunately, in Azure China, we are restricted to running version R80. Our architecture has a Load Balancer, VMSS CloudGuard, etc. The duplication in this setup prevents the application from seeing the original client IP. This poses a problem for certain applications that require the original IP for login purposes. Although we managed a workaround with a different architecture involving a WAF, it is not as straightforward as the standard Azure setup."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
