"Fortinet FortiGate has many valuable features, such as IDS, and intrusion detection. It has security features that are in part with the technologies that are available in the market."
"The performance is good."
"Its stability is the most valuable."
"In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"Allows for firewall rules to be programmed and named in a way that makes it “readable”"
"The usage in general is pretty good."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"It is a robust SD-WAN solution."
"The internet traffic shaping has been very valuable."
"The simplicity of configuration is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The product is quite secure, easy to manage, and well-connected with other devices."
"Simple to manage."
"We switched to Meraki because it lets you see what's happening in your LAN and WAN in a graphic and web environment."
"We've had no issues with the scalability or the stability of this solution"
"It has a helpful feature for database troubleshooting issues."
"Maybe they could make some features more accessible, such as a way to translate directions between two networks that share the same subnets."
"The support team for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be more customer friendly."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"Some of the filtering is not robust, you can escape it with a VPN. Some of the users bypass some of the filters. It catches some but it also misses some, that area could be improved. It's functioning reasonably but there's room for improvement in that area."
"The captive portal could be improved."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I don't get proper reports."
"It's my understanding that more of the current generation features could be brought in. There could be more integration with EDRs, for example."
"There are some cloud-based features that could be much more flexible than they currently are."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
"We do not have account managers in our region for the solution. Some governments don't use the product since it is attached to the internet."
"What I would like to see in the next version is to have more interfaces for WAN links."
"The only stability issue is in Content Filtering. Sometimes we need to report these types of issues to Cisco support."
"We can’t access GUI management and CLI opening features when the Internet is unavailable."
"We had minor issues with Meraki MX. We had a couple of RMAs, so that could be an area for improvement, but in terms of how the RMAs went, the turnaround time and getting those back into redeployment were quick. Another area for improvement in Meraki MX is that when you're scaling for multiple locations, you need to use the same model, but the model you'd need is only available for a short time. The specific model you require could be out of stock, or Meraki isn't making that model anymore, so Meraki should improve that."
"Load balancing options and ability to manage a couple of Internet connections."
"The whole Cisco Meraki range requires easier access for cameras. For a security center, it would be helpful to have easier access to cameras through the portal. Its licensing cost could also be better."
"We have been having a problem with the VPN. When the energy goes down and is back again, the VPN link doesn't get established. We have to manually turn off the modems and other pieces of equipment and manually establish the VPN. It has been around one month since we have been having this problem, and we don't have enough support from Meraki to solve the problem."
