"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is Quota."
"The reporting and monitoring are very good."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."

"I am impressed with the application filtering feature."
"The most valuable feature of the Hillstone E-Series is its user-friendliness."

"Technical support has been quite helpful."
"The firewall features and the routing capability are the most valuable."
"The most valuable features are the security cloud ACP and KPP features."
"Juniper has the "recovery safety feature", so if you perform a "commit confirmed" and the new configuration disconnects you. then there is no "confirmed" command with X mins (default = 10 mins). It automatically reverts (recovers) to the previous configuration. This is handy for when you do not want to make that trip down range just to reboot a router."
"One of Juniper SRX's most valuable features is the site-to-site VPN."
"It'sa very secure device, it has good attack prevention capabilities using UTM."
"It is a part of the infrastructure when we're selling Juniper. That's what clients are familiar with and that's what they rely on."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"Their software support needs improvement. I would prefer to have better support for bug fixes. Sometimes, we open a ticket, and it is very difficult to get a solution. Specifically, we are not at all happy with their support for load balancing."
"Reporting is limited to providing an external appliance for improving the reporting capabilities of the FortiAnalyzer. It does not offer a central management and is also sold separably as an appliance."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the logging and reporting. Additionally, the next-generation application's policies should be improved. When they were released they had bugs."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"Fortinet needs to overhaul its documentation."
"The tool provides just a general report. It does not provide a granular report. Hence, the tool should work on its reporting feature."
"I am not sure if this solution offers active directory integration. Adding that feature will definitely be an advantage."
"The solution doesn't have a web proxy built into the system like Sophos. This is something they should work to change."
"Support from Hillstone E-Series has a shortcoming that needs improvement."
"Having frequent live webinars on a monthly basis would really help."
"SSL VPN license cost is not cheap."
"The current usage reporting is very basic."
"The tool needs to improve its price."
"I think improvement can be done to the security part, particularly the UDM, and the product should have a user-friendly interface similar to FortiGate. It should have the Azure RBAC in the next release."
"The solution is quite advanced. You need a lot of training to use it effectively."
"Juniper SRX could improve by adding an IPX feature."
"IPS is one that I would definitely want to be improved. I would also like SSL VPN to be integrated."
"It did not improve our safety because the IDS does not detect some attacks, but our anti-virus software did."
"The product only has basic features."
"When I was going to upgrade the OS, the solution didn't accept certain USB devices."
"The big thing is performance. With all the features turned on it slows down."
