"Web filtering and two-factor authentication are great features."
"The features that we have found most valuable are the SSL VPN and the User Portal."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a security device. It can optimize security on the networks of a company. It actually protects the company from attacks from outside. With FortiGate, you can categorize the users. You can create a group of users that can access all of the websites for their work. You can limit other users' access."
"Initial setup is easy to configure."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the GUI pre-filtering and the ATP (advanced threat protection)."
"Support has improved dramatically since their separation from Dell."
"The most valuable features are flexibility, ease of setup, and it's a good product cost-wise."
"User-friendly with good security and application control."
"The most valuable features to us are the security services which is a critical factor in our deployment. Today we need to have all the security services enabled because firewalls are not enough."
"The technical support is very good."
"Content filtering reduces the load on the available bandwidth and restricts employees from using distracting websites on the job, which leads to more productive hours."
"One of the main features is the built-in storage capacity."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"The product helps small and medium enterprises secure their networks from intrusions. It also has features like DNS blocking."
"It is not attached to an appliance, meaning if you get a good PC/server, then you can already run a firewall."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"NG Firewalls allow us to permit or deny applications we don't want to run. We also use content filtering, SSL inspection, and all the other things we run on the firewall to keep our clients protected and ensure they're not going where they shouldn't. It's a great firewall that works as intended."
"They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"All features are useful. We are using premium features such as bandwidth sharing, failover, web filters, SSL controls, antivirus, and VPN. We use these features to the fullest. These features are available in the paid firewall license, not the free one."
"I would like to see improvements in the product's application rules."
"Palo Alto has a feature called WildFire Analysis that is unavailable in FortiGate. WildFire is better than a sandbox because it can address zero-day threats and vulnerabilities. It can immediately identify zero-day threats from the cloud."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"The renewal price and the availability could be improved."

"The support system could be improved."
"I think there could be more QoS features"
"Overall, Im satisfied with SonicWall NSa, but it would be better if they could add a small terminal to each device. This would help me deal with certain issues by running a small bot onto any PC."
"The product must enable integration with endpoint protection tools."
"After-sales support and hands-on training facilities are not available in my country."
"We still get phishing emails that manage to come through from time to time."
"Sometimes I found the GUI and some of the features a little bit hard to navigate, as opposed to Fortigate, which is much more user-friendly."
"It would help us a lot of SonicWall sent us more information about the latest updates and things that are changing."
"The content filter needs to be improved."
"I would like to have a built-in vulnerability scanner in the firewall. It would be great to have such functionality. Its price could also be better. It would also be good to have a local warehouse. It doesn't get damaged a lot, but if a customer needs a replacement, currently, it has to come from Miami or Mexico, which can take a few days. It would be better if they have a local warehouse from where we can just pick replacements and quickly solve a client's needs in terms of replacing equipment. It would be great to have it locally instead of waiting for it from Mexico or the USA."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"The web content filtering needs improvement."
"It does have multi-factor authentication in some areas, but I would love to see a more widely implemented version of that on the devices themselves."
"The product must improve its reporting features."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
