Cons
"Fortinet should simplify the licensing model. It's too complex for decision-makers to choose from the range of options. Handling the pricing model is a nightmare, so it's difficult to sell the solution.""The product is not recommended on the basis of technical parameters. It is very tough to authenticate.""Fortinet could improve FortiGate Cloud by providing better integration with third-party applications and features.""Reporting is an area that can be enhanced.""We need some integration or communication between the endpoint and the firewall.""GUI access could be improved. It should be simpler to access everything from the portal. Once we log in to the portal, we should be able to access all the Fortinet Cloud options.""When we're upgrading, it's sometimes quite challenging, especially firmware. We usually don't upgrade unless we have a bug, and we still feel it's not safe to react instead of being proactive. We often have some delays when updating FortiGuard, too.""As with any IT vendor, there are software issues."
