"Technical support has been quite helpful in the past."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."

"I found the initial setup process to be very simple and straightforward."
"Forcepoint is a complete package because it has network and systems applications. Other firewalls are only for the network."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."

"Difficult to add or define, and not that easy to configure and manage."
"While FortiGate is cheaper than most other solutions, we're seeing increased license renewal costs. Most of our clients are asking for more significant discounts because the price is going up."
"The biggest "gotcha" is that if the client purchases what they call the UTM shared bundle, which has unified threat management on both, it's not as easy to manage if you have more than one firewall."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more storage in the hardware for log data."
"You do need knowledge of the solution in order to set the product up properly."
"They need to improve their alerts."
"Something that I've noticed that Forcepoint lacks, is the training that they offer to their end-customers"
"When it comes to a complex deployment, the rules, firewall features, SD-WAN core features, and auto-scaling can cause the device to be not quite stable."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall could change its interface, allowing standard or direct connect modes to be configured."
"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."
"They need to work on stability, it has not been the best in our experience."
"The interface is complicated. It's difficult to locate all the necessary menus and functions."
"Integration with Global Thereat Intelligence could be better. Also, I think management solutions are end of life now at McAfee. Network threat analyzer may be used for endpoint quarantines. Integration between these sides, as well as endpoint APO, will help you quarantine the risky endpoints."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The management component could be simplified."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The solution could improve some aspects of detection."
"The technical support must be improved."
"The Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
