"The solution is very stable."
"Simple interface and easy to deploy."
"Provides good VPN capabilities."
"I love the interface."
"I prefer FortiGate because it has a lot of other solutions embedded within it and is the easiest for our technicians to operate."
"I like FortiGate's zero-trust capabilities and protection against zero-day threats. Zero-day threat protection is critical because we're seeing constant changes in the threat landscape. The sandboxing and web access controls are also robust."
"We like signature-based anomaly detection and zero-day protection features."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy in comparison with other solutions."
"The best feature is that Zscaler allows for a separation between cloud applications and URL filtering. For example, under the cloud application segment, I can bypass Microsoft Office 365 without the need to add URLs manually. It's one click, so that's handy."
"The product's most valuable feature is complete SSL inspection."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"Cloud IPS integration is seamless, and it uses a Zero Trust model. It also simplifies overall user access management."
"The solution’s stability could be improved because we sometimes faced some drops."
"They should provide us with a CSV number for patch updates. It will help us block specific signatures as well."
"Fortinet FortiGate IPS could improve the configuration. In some use cases, there can be some configuration conflicts."
"The user interface needs a bit of upgrading."
"IPs are not handled well and the process is unnecessarily complicated."
"The dashboard is not user friendly so is a bit complicated."
"Monitoring could be improved."
"While the security is good, we'd always prefer if it was even better to ensure protection."
"They have given limited free access for a year. Instead, they should increase the file size and give limited free access for around two months. It will allow engineers to evaluate the product."
"When it comes to scalability, the IPsec could be improved."
"There is always room for improvement."
"We recently had a significant issue with Zscaler. I think they have too many customers and some of their connection edge nodes went down because there were too many requests. I think they aren't scaling enough to keep up with the demand in some areas. That's one thing they should improve."
"We encounter issues sharing IP addresses with other companies using the software."
