"K2-Series' best features include its scalability, which is the best on the market."
"This product needs to have an analysis feature, rather than having the analysis done through the integration of a different product."
"The product does need better support in the cloud environment. It's not exactly cloud-native right now."
"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"Its filtering is sometimes too precise or strict. We sometimes have to bypass and authorize some of the sites, but they get blocked. We know that they are trusted sites, but they are blocked, and we don't know why."
"Scalability is one of the disadvantages. When it comes to scalability, you have to actually change the box. If you want to upgrade it, you need to actually change the existing box and probably you take the system off to other sites."
"Some features of Fortinet FortiGate are actually fee enabled that are inconvenient for deploying in production. Other issues relate to isolation with Cisco products and your server."
"The scalability could be better."
"Its price could be better."
"We face issues with some configuration parts that we don't understand in the solution, and sometimes we face issues with the VPN connection."
"Sometimes, we have to use SD-WAN support for the solution, which can be improved by adapting some features that will help our approach to network services."

"GajShield Next Generation Firewall would be improved with the addition of a load-balancing feature."
"Gajshield can improve SD-WAN compatibility at an enterprise cloud level."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall could improve the flow of the settings. If somebody's using a Cisco firewall or any other brand and they want to use GajShield Next Generation Firewall the platform's UI is a bit different. If it was more similar to the others it would be better."
"The firewall configuration and administration screens could use some improvement."
"The scalability of Palo Alto Networks K2-Series is good. It is good for larger environments over smaller ones."
"When it comes to renewing the solution, they tend to try to jack up the pricing."
"It would be really helpful to have dashboards that provide information on IOC blockings such as where and how many. It will also be good to know how many hashing files have been reported. It would also be nice to have easy access to this information. Otherwise, it's a painful, manual task."
"It is recommended that the Palo Alto Networks K2-Series be implemented step by step for the Panorama. Sometimes we can't overwrite the configurations because it fails."
"In the past, we've had trouble with Palo Alto's application filtering not getting it right. I would not be recommending layer 7 application filtering yet."
"The solution needs a series of OS changes."
"Some users do not accept cloud-based data processing. They prefer on-premises functionality, especially for advanced threat analysis. While the general trend is moving towards cloud, specific customer needs should be considered. Perhaps certain functionalities, particularly in advanced threat analysis, could be offered as an on-premises option for those clients."
"The licensing cost is a typical complaint with many clients. The solution is expensive."
