"They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet."
"The solution could have a more user-friendly interface."
"It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release."

"The user interface could be more inviting."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"I heard that Fortinet is going to enhance the firmware to have mobile versions. One is like Linux long-term support SCS and one with new features, but there is no support here. We spoke with the vendor multiple times, and they said that they will release these features soon."
"One area for improvement in FortiClient is the speed of connectivity."
"Initially, the support was very poor. It is getting better, but they should continue to improve this."
