"One main feature we are very happy about is file security and upload functionality."
"When it comes to blocking unknown threats and attacks, I would give it the highest score possible. We first started using AWS and its Web Application Firewalls. That was okay, but it was quite a manual process to keep it up to date, whereas Fortinet is always up to date, and the default rules or the modules that you can turn on are very easy to use."

"The interface could have the interdependent elements arranged sequentially and wizards that go through most common deployment actions."
"The memory use in each of the appliances is problematic."
"It is not entirely user-friendly."
