"I like the solution's stability."

"The solution can scale."
"I like FortiGate's zero-trust capabilities and protection against zero-day threats. Zero-day threat protection is critical because we're seeing constant changes in the threat landscape. The sandboxing and web access controls are also robust."
"FortiGate's SD-WAN capability is the most useful feature for us."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate IPS is its efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."

"The system can slow down when inspections are carried out."

"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
