Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's user-friendly.""The sandboxing feature is very important.""The tool's GUI is user-friendly.""We like the availability of the hardware and the service that we get from FortiGate, as well as the kind of reach that they have as a part of their sales folks.""The solution includes a very stable VPN and IPS.""We use the solution for routing and cloud security. We have multiple offices nationwide, all connected through the MPRS network, which is terminated at our FortiGate firewall. We consolidate our networks, filter packets, and segment our network through this firewall. My company has around three lakh firewalls.""The solution offers good network performance and efficiency.""The most valuable feature is the inspection. It inspects before we have any traffic stops intrusion."

"Palo Alto Networks Panorama has a lot of features.""The installation process is very simple.""The most valuable feature is the Threat Intelligence.""Centralized firewall management and update management are the most valuable features.""The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is its ease of use.""It is great that the records go back to 30 days.""Templates and the possibility to apply a configuration to many devices at the same time are the most valuable features. We are able to create templates, and we don't need to go to each firewall to make changes. We can make changes in Panorama, and it automatically applies those changes to all those firewalls on which we want to apply the changes. It provides centralized management.""All of the reports and events from different locations can be managed centrally."

Cons
"In the email security modules they have in their UTM, maybe they can include more extended or expanded features for the email security where users can have their own portal login to release blocked emails, as an example.""The solution could improve by having a Russian interface.""I would like to see more reporting from the analysis improved in the future.""I would like to see better integration with other technologies.""Currently with the solution, if you want to manage more than one FortiGate you have to use a VM, and a VM can control up to 10.""When it comes to technical support, the problem we have found is that if an issue comes, it takes a day to get everything resolved. It could be faster. They can be better at optimizing how they answer tickets in terms of response times. There must be ways to make the process more streamlined. It would make it easier for their clients.""Reporting is an area that can be enhanced.""The licensing is a little bit confusing and needs to be improved."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Cons →

"Panorama needs to work on its configuration issues.""I would like to see remote VPN, like the Cisco client.""An area for improvement would be the connectivity, which sometimes means logs can be slow to display.""I would like more dashboard management.""Reporting might be an area to improve. It can provide reporting or some sort of graphical representation of your environment.""There is room for improvement in the integration within endpoint detection. They need to do some integration between endpoints and the firewalls.""The product could offer more integration with other solutions.""It would be beneficial to improve the capabilities of Panorama to handle logs more efficiently, potentially reducing the need for additional local collectors. Adding more predefined dashboards as features would enhance the monitoring and reporting capabilities."
