"The GUI is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"You have access to CLI in case you have no web access."
"Has a very user-friendly interface and doesn't require any prior knowledge."
"It is a good product. It does what we want it to do so. I didn't find many false-positives or things like that. We mainly use the IPS and URL filtering features, and they are pretty good."
"I prefer FortiGate because it has a lot of other solutions embedded within it and is the easiest for our technicians to operate."
"It does not require a lot of maintenance."
"The performance and stability are great."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"I would like to be able to generate reports about the protections that we have. I would like a report feature."
"Integration with the antivirus companion Webroot is not seamless on Mac computers."
"Right now, it's not really scalable, but it's okay for us. However, looking ahead to three years from now, we might have a problem with scalability. We foresee a little risk down the road. The stability is okay for now."
"The graphical interface could be improved."
"The interface could be better."
"The web filtering categories could improve in Fortinet FortiGate IPS. There are too many websites under the category of Unknown and the other categories are not featuring all the necessary sites."
"The customization is a little bit difficult."
"FortiGate IPS is somewhat pricey compared to other solutions. There is also room for improvement in terms of the radio signals. The FortiGate WiFi has a relatively short range. I've found there is a lag in its zero-day malware response that could be better, and FortiGate could integrate better with other brands of equipment or identity management solutions."
"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products.

"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"The solution could be more secure."
"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
