User-friendliness is a little bit tough. It needs to be user-friendly when creating policies, and pushing policies. Committing takes more time compared to Palo Alto."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."
"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
