"It is easy to manage, and it doesn't need much knowledge from the team. It is a stable device, and there are many features that are included out of the box."
"The interface is very good."
"The CLI and GUI do a good job of putting a lot at your fingertips."
"It's very easy to set up, it's very easy to make policies and, for an organization, that means you don't need IT expert in firewalls. You just need to have somebody who knows a little bit of IT, and that's it. With other products, you need someone with a "Masters" degree in firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use. Anyone can easily maintain it."
"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."
"Security solution with a straightforward and quick setup. It's a stable and scalable product."
"The central security management center and the content management center are very good."
"The simplicity of the solution is its most valuable asset. It's very user-friendly."
"The blocking, based on the signal provided, is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Technical support has been quite helpful in the past."
"It is a stable solution, and there are no issues so far."
"Forcepoint is a complete package because it has network and systems applications. Other firewalls are only for the network."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I like the Firewall and the IPS."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a good product for dealing with DDoS attacks and for the inspection of network traffic."
"The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of signatures in IPS."
"Overall the solution is very good. It offers great protection and gives us a good overview of what is on the network."
"The threat intelligence updates are very accurate."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."
"The ability to centrally manage all the IPS sensors, track the different security events generated by it, and customize the different policies, depending on their location."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"The platform's interface could improve."
"Pricing for it is a bit high. It could be cheaper."
"Sometimes you do need to know some CLI commands, so it's a bit harder for technicians or new people that don't know it."
"Fortinet currently has many products bundled with FortiGate including the basic firewall and load balancer, and I think that that they need to have separate product portfolios for each of these specialized services."
"It's a complicated firewall. Until you come to know the firewall inducers, most people don't like the firewall because the components for the firewall are a little bit complex. User-friendliness is a little bit tough. It needs to be user-friendly when creating policies, and pushing policies. Committing takes more time compared to Palo Alto."
"The ability to dynamically change policies could be improved."
"The solution needs to add an antivirus profile and anti-spyware profile, not just policies and VPN."
"Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement."
"The security features need to be improved."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of custom reporting."
"They need to work on stability, it has not been the best in our experience."
"I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
"The management component could be simplified."
"There are limited resources for configuration guidance."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"Some of the documentation is not as straightforward as it could be."
"We would like to have a simpler version. Some settings and functions on the McAfee console are complex and complicated. I want the management console to be simpler."
"Integration with Global Thereat Intelligence could be better. Also, I think management solutions are end of life now at McAfee. Network threat analyzer may be used for endpoint quarantines. Integration between these sides, as well as endpoint APO, will help you quarantine the risky endpoints."
