"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Fortinet FortiClient is not disruptive, and its interface is great. It has an in-built VPN, which is very useful."

"Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."

"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Detections could be improved."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."
"One area for improvement in FortiClient is the speed of connectivity."
"The price could also use improvement."
"The connectivity could be improved."
"The documentation could be improved."
"It takes too long to install."
"We do not use the solution every day and there are times when the new users have trouble reconnecting. The technology itself works but our users getting adopted to it is a major problem. Having the user adapt to the desktop landing page that it begins on is throwing them off a bit."
"The solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"The deployment model could be better."
