What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing major. There is no way to rename existing VPN Connections. Once you create a new VPN connection, you can't change its name, and basically, the only way to accomplish that would be deleting all associated references (policies, zone, route) and re-create the VPN again with the correct name.

Best of breed NGFW (All Market Segments)
What do you like best about the product?
Fortinet FortiGate is the best for all segment firewalls. It can be in SMB or Enterprise. It has the best GUI and ease of use versus Checkpoint, Cisco, and Palo Alto. The Fabric feature helps you give visibility to all endpoints for better correlation, application control is always up to date, SDWAN in a firewall was a brilliant move. SSLVPN is also a game changer during this pandemic since most of its competitors sell this separately.
Activating a license is as easy as counting 1 2 3. Support is also responsive, but you will barely call one since the Cookbook has tons of FAQ.

What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting. You need to have FAZ to get better reports (built-in) than competitors (for SMB Markets).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Perimeter security and defenses - IPS, Application Control, Web Filter, Proxy, Sandboxing
2. Secure SDWAN - for better security connectivity across branches, not just addressing the SDWAN but also providing a secure way of doing it.

Seperation one Firewall to Multiple Logical Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
FortiGate have feature called Virtual Domain (VDOM). With this feature, we can split one FortiGate to Multiple Logical FortiGate; each logical FortiGate can have a dedicated configuration (Firewall Policy, Routing, Admin Access, ...).
This feature is helpful to enterprises when they need multiple FortiGate devices to place at the dedicated zone, but they have only one FortiGate appliance. In this case, we can use split one FortiGate appliance to Multiple VDOM (each VDOM can act as a logical FortiGate).
