"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"If I had any criticism that I would give FortiGate, it would be that they need to stop changing their logging format. Every time we do a firmware upgrade, it is a massive issue on the SIM. Parsers have to be rebuilt. Even the FortiGate guys came in and said that they don't play well in the sandbox."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"The product does need better support in the cloud environment. It's not exactly cloud-native right now."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."

"Data Leak Prevention is only for web filtering and there is no protection for email."

"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
"Pricing is a challenge."
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
"Because it's on cloud, it doesn't allow application of extra settings."
"There are some areas it could improve when it comes to blocking, we have to block some things manually. For example, if we block a top-level domain we have seen that the new IPs come through, the IPs are not blocked. There should be some more granular way of doing it. My only request is if you're blocking something at a top level, the sub-level sub-domains and all those other IPs should be blocked too automatically."
"Instead of the standard license, they should certainly provide customers with the visibility to access and view the logs."
