Cons
"The SSL visibility could be better.""I would like to see more reporting from the analysis improved in the future.""The solution’s pricing and stability could be improved.""The only area that requires improvement is the login reports. We aim to integrate it with our local mobile service provider.""It would be better for us if Fortinet provided a private cloud, and they should provide more security on the public cloud. There are some minor issues with security with the public cloud. For example, anyone with a link can access the public cloud.""The Linux version currently lacks some of the latest features, notably in the IPv6 tool stack, which is available for Windows clients.""ACL is an area with shortcomings that needs to be improved.""They're still trying to digest that Meru acquisition and need a plan."

"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic.""The solution should integrate with NAC servers.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility.""As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way.""They should add AI options in the product's next release.""The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly.""Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
