"The solution has some bugs."
"The information extraction through command lines was could improve to some extent. Although there were some command lines available, there were not enough options. For instance, I needed to obtain the management IP address of my two Fortigates, but the Fortinet FortiManager did not provide me with the IP address on the LAN interface. I attempted to find this information through the command line but was unsuccessful. I also searched for articles on the internet, but could not find a solution. This is an aspect that could be improved or potentially there is a method to access this information that I have yet to discover."
"The areas that need improvement are implemenation and support. In terms of implementation, it mainly needs clear documentation."
"Within the management of some features on FortiManager, specifically the management of user objects used for VPN service, FortiManager is quite weak."
"The price is a bit too high."
"For the IPSEC tunnels, Fortimanager doesn't have all of the features that are available on Fortigate."

"The solution has to be enhanced to manage new switches."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"The reporting in this solution can be improved."
"When tested on Zero day, there were errors."
"Qualys VM's vulnerability scan could be improved, especially the number of CVE numbers it can manage at a time."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
"The tool needs to improve the adding assets and report generation features. I would like to see the policy scan of offline appliances in the product's future releases."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
