"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."
"The documentation has been satisfactory."
"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 most valuable feature is how easy it makes it to manage the VM."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is more expensive than other products."
"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."
"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."

"It is too expensive. One of the main issues is the price."

"vCenter Orchestrator's debugging capacity could be improved."
"I would like to see better performance."
"I believe vCenter Orchestrator should be part of VMware vSphere's basic bundle. As a product, vCenter Orchestrator should not be licensed at all because the world has progressed way beyond what it can offer."
"It is practically difficult at this stage to really comment on the improvisations of V central. But more tech events and PoC cases would help the EA to design better solutions and utilization."
"Storage has room for improvement. It's a big problem for our solution. The interface also needs improvement, it should be simplified."
"The custom workflows are very difficult and confusing."
