Cons
"The product is not recommended on the basis of technical parameters. It is very tough to authenticate.""I recommend that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud improve their rules for configuration with each other.""It would be better for us if Fortinet provided a private cloud, and they should provide more security on the public cloud. There are some minor issues with security with the public cloud. For example, anyone with a link can access the public cloud.""Fortinet could improve FortiGate Cloud by providing better integration with third-party applications and features.""The Linux version currently lacks some of the latest features, notably in the IPv6 tool stack, which is available for Windows clients.""When we're upgrading, it's sometimes quite challenging, especially firmware. We usually don't upgrade unless we have a bug, and we still feel it's not safe to react instead of being proactive. We often have some delays when updating FortiGuard, too.""The platform's reporting and analysis capabilities need improvement.""The solution should include a commit button that allows for review of changes and deployments before they are submitted."

"Puppet Enterprise is more complex and difficult to configure.""We would like Puppet to add more integration for applications.""At the beginning the initial setup was kind of complex.""It's a bit of a pain point to make sure that everything works once we've upgraded it because Puppet has been evolving pretty fast.""There's a lot of scope for enhancement on the DevSecOps side. They should definitely include features for compliance, for both the Linux and Windows side of the devices, as well as for network devices. Compliance is something they need to work on.""The solution has really complex code, you have to understand the Ruby language. However, once you know the code then you can move ahead without any problems.""Puppet Enterprise should improve the general extensibility for places where they can't install it."
