"The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable."
"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."
"The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"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 product’s most valuable feature is its ability to provide environmental security."
"The automation functionality has been most valuable. With a click of a button, we are able to automate provisioning, the build of new hardware and apply patches. These are all extremely important and differentiated tasks that can be automated in SaltStack."
"The ability to programmatically describe the desired state of a single, or an entire fleet of servers, on-premises, and in a cloud environment."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"I want to build automation that is intelligent, part of the fabric of our environment, and is somewhat self-sustaining. I think SaltStack can help me do this."
"We monitor the configurations against CIS standards. We run CIS benchmarks and maintain configurations with higher CIS values for each server."
"SaltStack has given us the ability to deal with systems at scale and rectify issues at scale."
"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go."
"The solution is more expensive than other products."
"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."
"The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires."
"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support."
"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."
"Fingerprint access security would improve this solution."
"This solution could be integrated with more hardware for an improved offering."
"Web UI."
"A hardened set of tests would be much appreciated."
"It is difficult to set up."
"Its configuration process could be better."
"SaltStack's features are minimal."
"There is a little bit of pain when it comes to libraries and what is needed to run the product."
