"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"In terms of improvements, their SSL VPN tunnel can be a lot better. I've seen other products that have got much better VPN features than Fortinet. Some of my colleagues get this error called "License not available." When they get this error, they have to uninstall and reinstall it. This kind of problem is there, and sometimes, we have to open a case with Fortinet to resolve it. Their support is quick, so we are able to resolve and move forward. In terms of new features, when it is connecting, it should check the endpoint and say whether the end client is actually safe enough or whether there is a vulnerability. It should give a pop-up on the client itself. Because I'm on the admin side, I can also see this information in the log. However, if a non-IT user, such as a user from finance, is working on this and there is some problem, he or she would not know about this and would call IT admin to say that this is not working. If the users get a message explaining why and what is happening, it is easy for them to understand."
"The only thing that is lacking in this product is the support. Their support can be improved."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"The reports could be easier to set up."
"While I cannot think of new features to add, it would be nice if the reports were improved, to have these sent automatically."
"The pricing could use improvement."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing."
"The initial setup can be a bit challenging."
"The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities."
"In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit."
"The ADR functionalities feel like they aren't mature enough. It hasn't been a long time since Sophos has offered reproduction. Due to the fact that it's so young, it has fewer functionalities than other and more mature ADR solutions."
"The solution can be expensive, although we do see the value in it."
"It would be better if it can automatically generate a report for each and every user so that the users get to know the things that shouldn't be accessed from their PCs. It can have information about malicious and non-malicious sites so users are aware of them, and they don't access malicious websites. Such reports can be generated at the end of the day. We should also be able to get through to their support team quickly. Currently, it takes more than half an hour to get through to a technical person."
"This product does not handle USB drives well."
