"The technical support services are excellent."
"Aruba Orchestrator has notably reduced enrollment setup times from several hours to within an hour if prepared and planned."

The management process is much quicker and more streamlined."
"The most important feature is WAN optimization."
"The people we deal with is a local partner in Cambodia and we can get good support from them."
"Next Generation Firewall's best feature is that it can be managed on one platform."
"The support is great. They also have very good categorization. It's very good. It captures a lot of threats."
"The Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is a scalable product."
"The central security management center and the content management center are very good."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is very simple, easy to use, and flexible."
"We like the scalability of Forcepoint because with the Forcepoint NGFW solution, we can scale anything. The solution has central management, so we can manage all the branches and devices centrally in one controller."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Aruba Orchestrator should implement dynamic certificate changes for security."
"The solution can be improved by lowering the cost and making it more user-friendly for first-time users."
"They could provide essential training to understand the product functionality."
"The solution lacks sufficient security features."
"The management menu should be simplified."
"The initial setup is complex, depending on the overall planning for the entire environment."
"The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."
"In larger companies with extensive infrastructure, retrieving logs for a longer period of time can sometimes take a bit longer than desired."
"Configuration is not easy because it has an old-fashioned interface. The configuration interface is highly complex, and it's been the same for years. They have to change the interface."
"The initial setup of the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall has areas that are difficult."
"Its management center should be easier to use. The management interface of Forcepoint is unique and a little bit different from some of the firewall solutions on which people might have worked before. Sometimes, the customers say that it is not very friendly, and we help them with how to use this management interface. It just takes a little bit of time, and after some time, it gets easy to manage or use. It is quite similar to Palo Alto, Fortinet, and legacy Juniper solutions. Their support should be faster. We have received complaints that they are not responding fast, which is not good for the vendor and us."
"My team is looking for more throughput and better integration with our security framework."
"They need to increase the local support here. There are also some bugs or fixes on which they need to work. They very well know about these bugs. In terms of licensing, I would like them to either increase the number of features in a single license or make licensing more flexible."
"The endpoint protection capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
