"LinkGreat firewall capabilities"
"The product is very stable, easy to troubleshoot, and configure, so it has reduced the time it takes for support."
"FortiGate is flexible and easy to use."
"We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"Whenever we raise a complaint with FortiGate, their response and resolution times are minimal."
"The reporting and monitoring are very good."
"The initial installation is very straightforward."
"The product offers fairly good centralized administration and monitoring with decent capabilities that allow the administrator to have relevent control over devices."
"Its most outstanding feature is content filtering."
"Technical support has been good."
"VPN clients are easy to use and deploy."
"Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you."
"The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"The firewall engine is not so strong as of now, in my opinion... My second concern is that, while they have Zero-day vulnerability and anti-malware features, the threat engine needs to be strengthened, its efficiency can be increased."
"They need faster serviceability and more security features."
"I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time."
"The visibility of the network can be better. The GUI can be improved for better visibility of the network flow. Other solutions have better GUI in terms of network visibility."
"A couple of things I've seen that need improvement, especially in terms of a hard coding. The driver-level active moment really is out-of-the-box and we have to have contact the customer support and sometimes it is difficult to resolve."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"Pricing is sometimes challenging, although it brings a lot of features."
"Every time we made a change, the policy took about three minutes to apply, and obviously, when there were emergency changes or changes that we needed that were escalated, they were not modified very, very quickly."
"The reporting from the file or reporting from mobile access needs improvement. The solution, in general, could use better reporting tools."
"It should have excellent integration with the other security tools."
"What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services."
"The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature."
