"Fortinet needs to overhaul its documentation."
"The license renewal process, annual renewal price, and the web application firewall features should be improved."

"The solution needs more granular level reporting on system usage."

"The product had a hang issue. We needed to reboot, recreate the image, and reconfigure the previous image because the product hanged frequently."
