We get reports back from WildFire on a minute-by-minute basis
The biggest thing that needs to be improved with them is their training. I took a training class for the 8.0 build, then I took it again for the 9.0 and 10 builds. They add new features every time that they do a new major release, but the training doesn't keep up. It is the same basic training that probably was with the 3.0 build, and they just change the screenshots. I would love to see them do some more work since they have all these bells and whistles, but we don't know how to use those features on a large scale. I know this little section here about the firewall, but I know there is a huge amount that still could be done with it. I am not touching enough of it because I just don't know how. It seems like the more I learn about it, the more I learn that there is to learn

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is yearly. We pay for the top end. It's called 360."
"Its pricing is fine. It is on a yearly basis. Other than the licensing fee, there is no extra fee."
"We pay for the solution annually."
"The price of Fortinet FortiGate is affordable. Most of our customers are on a three-year license to use the solution. All the features and support are included in the price."
"The cost is too high... They have to focus on more features with less cost for the customer. If you see the market, where it's going, there are a lot of players offering more features for less cost."
"The licensing scheme of Fortinet is better than Cisco. It is more logical."
"Other firewalls are more expensive than Fortinet FortiGate, such as the Azure firewall."
"The pricing of the solution is very competitive."

"The product is expensive compared to competing products but uses a similar type of pricing model based on hardware, software and maintenance."
"The cost is quite high."
"The pricing for Palo Alto is very high. The price difference with other vendors is huge because Palo Alto has been the market leader for the last five or six years, and they have a reliable product."
"Its price can be better. Licensing is on a yearly basis."
"While Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls may be considered expensive, their quality justifies the cost."
"The pricing is competitive."
"Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls are the Cadillac standard, and you do pay Cadillac pricing. However, the protection is worth the steep price."
