"The performance is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."

"The most important features with FortiGate are the web filter and application controls. We can control our internet usage and use the web filter for application purposes."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN, as it allows us to connect and it separates this product from other firewalls."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the CLI."
"The Palo Alto VM-Series is nice because I can move the firewalls easily."
"The solution enables organizations to enforce policies."
"With the improved visibility we now have, the traffic is being properly monitored, which means that we are better able to manage it. These are improvements that we saw very quickly."
"It has a good performance which helps you with the stability of your virtual environment."
"I like the UI. Most things are accessible from the user interface and it is quite user-friendly. With respect to both VM-based firewalls and physical firewalls, it's easy to create updates."
"In terms of security breaches, the product aids in categorizing and monitoring traffic, allowing for the identification of potentially malicisous or incorrectly formatted applications."
"It has excellent scalability."
"FortiGate should have a better way of detecting and managing the system memory because otherwise if the memory is too low, a system restart is required."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"The updates Fortinet provides are sometimes unstable."
"They've become quite expensive."
"I use the FortiGate 60D model and realized the 300Mbps bandwidth limitation. Because it is a product that offers many services, I think it could have greater bandwidth capacity."
"The way everything is set up could be easier. Currently, people need a lot of experience and knowledge to administer it and to link it to devices."
"They sometimes hide some features and if you want to enable them, you have to go in the CLI, enable the feature and configure it through the CLI. Customers, typically, like everything to be done by the GUI."
"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."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
"We have run into some issues with scaling and limitations associated with some of the configurations."
"It would be helpful if we had a direct number for the support manager or the supporting engineer. That would be better than having to email every time because there would be less wait."
"The tool is very costly."
"People are less aware of Palo Alto."
"Palo Alto is that it is really bad when it comes to technical support."
"The solution's licensing could be improved, and training should be included before installation."
"There's room for improvement in terms of integration with the load balancer. It isn't like Fortinet, which has a load balancer built into its firewall. It is effortless to integrate within the load balancer-plus-firewall solution."
"The disadvantage with Palo Alto is that they don't have a cloud-based solution that includes a secure web gateway."
