"My pain point is the automation process is not well-documented. There are some things that they could improve on there."

"Panorama needs to work on its configuration issues."
"There were a few bugs a couple of years into it. There was a big bug where it had trouble communicating with the two main boxes."
"It is very hard to understand the platform. It is not easy and user-friendly. You need a lot of experience to use Panorama. It is very complex, and you must know exactly what to do. I would like to have a more user-friendly product. FortiManager is comparatively very easy to use. It would be good if Panorama improves in terms of user-friendliness. It is also harder to use than Palo Alto Firewalls."
