"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"The visibility of the network can be better. The GUI can be improved for better visibility of the network flow. Other solutions have better GUI in terms of network visibility."

"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"It would be a benefit if Fortinet would release a one-stop solution that is better integrated with other products and an automated emergency response system."
"Maybe they could make some features more accessible, such as a way to translate directions between two networks that share the same subnets."
"The search tool needs improvement. It's very difficult to search for policies right now."
"The GUI needs improvement."

"Juniper needs to focus more on their perimeter firewalls."
"Sangfor has recently increased their prices."
"They need to increase the number of ports in the firewall."
"An area for improvement would be the number of ports defined on the box. In the next release, I would like them to develop their provisioning stage of enrolling end devices."
"The product must provide more IPS features."
"Sangfor need greater exposer in the market because the market is mainly saturated by Fortinet. The user experience of Fortinet is quite different compared to NGAF. If we want to switch our users from Fortinet to NGAF, we have to convince them that the user experience will be much easier once once they start to use it."
"The web interface needs to be improved, making it more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in dependency on certain infrastructure, like the DNS dependency on the current DNS server that the company has. It should be standalone. It should not depend on any other DNS server."
"The setup phase is quite complex."
