A cost-effective firewall that remains stable while providing security to its users
What is our primary use case?
In my company, we use FortiWeb Web Application Firewall (WAF) for security.

What needs improvement?
The product lacks features offered by enterprise-level firewall tools. The solution needs to offer more enterprise features like other brands.
