Cloud gateway has strengthened remote web security and now needs better Mac and ISP support
The problem our organization had is that iboss failed for the Mac devices. It is not able to give a successful agent for the Mac agents. That is where in 2025, we had to migrate to the Palo Alto-based platform. If your use case is for just Windows laptops,you can consider this platform as an option One issue is the data center resiliency part. In India especially, they are not tied up with the Tier 1 ISPs like Tata or Airtel; they were having Tier 2 ISPs and encountered many issues reaching few major sites that my organization depends on, and they were having problems that they could not fix quickly. They also lack a mechanism to route that traffic within their data center; rather, they ask customers to make a pac file change to route it to Singapore explicitly. It would be better if they route from their backend , i mean even if I send it to India DC, they should be able to route it internally to make that work; however, they fail to do that and ask the customer to route it in the pac file. Another suggestion is that in China, they do not have the proper setup; they used to have numerous problems with slowness and lack of premium circuits in China as well. That leads to multiple sites working slowly with latency-related issues. So the main issue is the ISP-related problems that need to be solved.

Lumen uses Fortinet as a foundational piece of one version of their service. You could also use Versa Networks. For me, the two best ones are Fortinet and Versa Networks. Fortinet has its own hardware, which is better because you're going with their global hardware manufacturer, which makes the fastest chips for that type of service. I know that Lumen uses Fortinet equipment in their telecom and cybersecurity networks within their company. You get a very streamlined network if you're connecting to their Fortinet equipment through their SASE service. Since Versa Networks is not based on Fortinet, there's no Versa equipment in the core of the Lumen network, like Fortinet. That's the main difference to me. You're diversifying by getting the advantages of having a lot of computing power in the Fortinet equipment. With Versa Networks, you cannot keep pace with the higher volumes or if you're doing a lot of mobile configurations. You're better off with all the options you have of having the advantage of using Fortinet equipment for different types of uses. Versa Networks is not a cybersecurity hardware company, and they are missing that whole extra advantage.
