"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiGate was straightforward."
"It is a safe product."
"The interface is very good."
"The Untangle firewall is a software firewall, so it runs on generic hardware. We found that was probably the best feature, and it's why we chose it when we started using it three years ago."

"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"I would like to see better pricing in the next release, as well as a simplification of the installation."
"Fortinet could improve the windows opener or the virtual IP solutions for opening windows. The virtual IP settings need improvement as firewalls are trending in new development directions."
