"The reporting against compliance is an important feature that helps you comply with policies and standards within your organization."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its reporting capabilities for aggregating vulnerability information and scoring."
"This product provides a really nice visualization of the infrastructure, including network topology, firewalls, etc."
"The rulesets and the findings are valuable. The actual core functionality of it and the efficacy of events are great."
"It is easy to administer and easy to deploy. It has automated or pre-configured templates, security features, and proactive threat detection."
"The posture management and remediation features are the most valuable. We use GSL Builder to build custom rules in alignment with our organization's policies. CloudGuard has canned rules using multiple standard frameworks, but we also have additional rules."
"The identification of misconfigurations, maintenance of compliance in a centralized way, and visibility across all the multi-cloud tenants are the key functionalities."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiOS are the SD-WAN, SSL inspection, and IDS/IPS functions."
"It efficiently manages large-scale firewall deployments."
"Their classification inside of that database of the various threats is typically very, very good."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and it is very customer friendly."
"The most important feature of Fortinet FortiOS is the IPS."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiOS network segregation, UTM, and antivirus, freight management protection, such as DDoS. Additionally, the CLI and the GUI are easy to use. The architecture makes sense, and the command in the CLI are organized well. They have quite a lot of features are easy to use, and are user-friendly. Any novice can use Fortinet FortiOS without an issue."
"The solution is very easy to configure and has a good interface, plus it offers more configuration options than other vendors."
"I have found the most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiOS is the low maintenance."
"When rules change, it messes up the remediation. They haven't found a fix for that yet. The remediation rule goes into limbo. It's an architectural design flaw within their end compliance engine—a serious bug."
"Currently, I would like this solution extended to cellular devices or tablets."
"The tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."
"One feature of the product that I would like to enhance is the possibility to connect to vulnerability management platforms so that the issues that emerge from the scans can then be ingested directly into the vulnerability management process."
"I’d like to see more integration with third-party tools. For example, it would be helpful to have an integration between Dome9 and ServiceNow to manage security incidents and security changes."
"The support must be more effective."
"I'd like to see more advanced encryption for local features, which is not present right now."
"The user interface could be improved. Sometimes, the visibility is not immediately available for the environment. We have the native servers that come with the solutions, but we cannot see them in the Check Point log. Another issue is with the integrated file monitoring. It would make sense to have stuff like file integrity monitoring and malware scanning available within this module because we don't want to integrate another product."
"Fortinet FortiOS can improve the GUI and remove the command line interface. All the functionality should be available from the GUI. Day-to-day management can be tough for IT administrators. Additionally, the reporting is not very good."
"FortiOS could provide a more detailed analysis of the network and connected devices."
"It could more scalable for the lower end users."
"Fortinet FortiOS can improve by limiting the need for the CLI and GUI combination. The more functions they can have on the GUI and less on CLI would be helpful."
"The additional features I would like to see included in the next release is better troubleshooting and reporting."
"The implementation could be simplified."
"The pricing model makes this product far more expensive than similar solutions."
"I want to see a better integration or a better integration with the endpoint protection or with EDR with the security life cycle."
