"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The forensics allows us to search retrospectively for an URL or file opened by users, for example, when you need to quickly check who else has clicked on a phishing link."

"The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices."
"The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most."

"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"I would like to see more automation."
"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."

"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"From an improvement perspective, the major challenge we've faced with Harmony is the support."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"There was a learning curve for our general population of employees (the user)."
"The solution requires skillful users."
"FortiClient's encryption key could be stronger so that it's not broken too easily."
"Fortinet needs to cover more areas where threats can come from."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
