Cons
"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support.""Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security.""So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go.""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.""There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures.""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.""The solution is more expensive than other products.""Fingerprint access security would improve this solution."
