FortiProxy could improve by addressing bugs in policy testing and blocking, which are particularly challenging in large organizations with numerous policies. Enhancing policy management tools, such as better policy testing, organization features, and more intuitive debugging, would make it easier for administrators to track and configure policies effectively. These improvements would streamline operations and reduce troubleshooting time in complex environments. FortiProxy could benefit from an improvement in the web rating feature by introducing a enhancing local priority. This would allow organizations to prioritize their own internal web ratings over cloud-based or global ratings, ensuring that specific content aligns more closely with the organization's needs and preferences. Additionally, Improvements in web categorization accuracy and customization would enhance the ability to filter content effectively
One issue is the limitation in using Fortinet FortiProxy for remote users, as it requires users to be members of the Active Directory. Additionally, the VM version is buggy and shows IP addresses instead of usernames. The on-premises version is more reliable.
