"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility."

"The initial setup is difficult. It took me three tries to get it right. The setup took two or three hours."

"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
