"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."

"If I were to be nitpicky, I would ask that Perimeter 81 offer the option for us to change the color of the graphical user interface, like maybe pink or green or so on."
"There is a very small amount of downtime."
"Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity."
"In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality."
"It would be nice to have a notification sound when Perimeter81 disconnects, as I sometimes don't notice when the icon shows that it's disconnected, and I end up wasting time waiting for my browser to load a page that shows an error, usually error 404."
"The platform still lacks relevant dashboards and the ability to customize them based on our needs."
