Pros
"The reporting and monitoring are very good.""The IPsec tunnels are very easily created, and quite interoperable with devices from other vendors.""We use the FortiGate Sandbox to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, such as anomalies or malware, that are unknown and have not yet been discovered.""The flexibility and ease of configuration are the most valuable features.""It is useful for protecting and segregating the internal networks from the internet. Most of our customers also use the FortiGate client to connect to their offices by using the VPN client, and of course, they usually activate the antivirus, deep inspection, and intrusion prevention services. They are also using it for web filtering and implementing various policies dealing with forwardings, NAT, etc.""The technical support in our region is excellent.""​Easy to implement, and it is also reliable.​""The inspection and web security features are most valuable."

Cons
"There are some cloud-based features that could be much more flexible than they currently are.""The product does need better support in the cloud environment. It's not exactly cloud-native right now.""The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response.""The customization could be improved. Cisco, for example, is much better at this. They need to work to be at least as good as they are.""Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding enhancements to FortiMail, FortiSOAR, and FortiDeceptor.""Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I don't get proper reports.""Security is a continuous process. In every product, there is a requirement for improvement. Its pricing should also be improved according to Indian market requirements. They must also improve on the reporting part. Its reporting can be more precise. If we can get a real-time report in a specific format, it will be helpful for customers to know about the current status of their security.""A couple of things I've seen that need improvement, especially in terms of a hard coding. The driver-level active moment really is out-of-the-box and we have to have contact the customer support and sometimes it is difficult to resolve."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cons →

"GajShield Next Generation Firewall could improve the flow of the settings. If somebody's using a Cisco firewall or any other brand and they want to use GajShield Next Generation Firewall the platform's UI is a bit different. If it was more similar to the others it would be better.""The firewall configuration and administration screens could use some improvement.""We raised a support ticket, and the project didn't get a proper response. There was a skill issue in TAC support.""GajShield Next Generation Firewall would be improved with the addition of a load-balancing feature.""Sometimes, we have to use SD-WAN support for the solution, which can be improved by adapting some features that will help our approach to network services.""Gajshield can improve SD-WAN compatibility at an enterprise cloud level.""We face issues with some configuration parts that we don't understand in the solution, and sometimes we face issues with the VPN connection."

More GajShield Next Generation Firewall Cons →

"Support for SonicWall TZ needs improvement, particularly the time it takes before you're able to speak to a support person, e.g. you have to wait for at least 30 minutes on the phone.""It needs more robust self-help documentation along with examples and things to watch out for.""The market seems to be going to a cloud-supported, new generation of firewall products. I think that's probably going to be important to us, the next time around.""The user support could be improved because you have to go outside to get that kind of support.""The log analyzer in SonicWall TZ is something that they need to improve upon.""The products' reporting can be improved.""SonicWall TZ can improve the UI application and when you create any net policies or any new policy, it will not sync or work properly.""The solution must provide more ports."
