"It's easy to use."
"The installation is very simple."
"Everything is valuable, especially the SD-WAN tunneling, filtering of email, application, and browsing. Everything has value."
"The ability to manage everything from the cloud is going to be the most valuable by far with this solution."

"I like the tool's controller facility."
"The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is application control."
"The role-based access controls give us granular control over what features to present to a customer, and the integration into FortiAnalyzer is the most valuable feature."
"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."
"The documentation has been satisfactory."
"From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine."
"It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe. In some of the other products, usually, you have to go a couple of screens in to see that, but not so much in this product."
"The solution should allow users to keep the data for longer than the current periods. I can't get any historic data after more than a month. I would like to be able to, after a year, look for trends from the past 12 months. It would make things much easier."

"They're constantly doing maintenance and there are unexpected downtimes for the cloud interface."
"The solution could improve by having a Russian interface."
"I would like to see better integration with other technologies."

"Things are moving increasingly towards hardware agnostic appliances, an area in which I would like Fortinet to be more focused and fast moving with that product line."
"Lacks some security against external attacks."
"I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs."
"It's useful for us but if it had more educational reporting, it would good. It's not necessarily lacking but it's an area that could get better."
"The solution is more expensive than other products."
"Fingerprint access security would improve this solution."
"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support."
"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go."
"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."
"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."
