Fortinet FortiGate Cloud and Fortinet FortiPortal are competitors in the network security software market. FortiGate Cloud appears to have a slight advantage due to its widespread feature set and flexibility in deployment.
Features: Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is known for its extensive remote management, load balancing, and advanced threat intelligence features. It integrates well with tools like FortiManager and FortiSandbox. Fortinet FortiPortal is recognized for its core firewall functionalities, site-blocking, and management integration features that facilitate user-friendly experiences.
Room for Improvement: Users of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud suggest improvements in regional site navigation, reporting, and logging capabilities. More advanced monitoring features are also requested. Fortinet FortiPortal needs better integration within the Fortinet ecosystem, enhanced SD-WAN connectivity, and improvements in handling high-temperature environments, along with streamlined logging.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Fortinet FortiGate Cloud offers diverse deployment options across on-premises, public, hybrid, and private clouds. While generally good, its technical support can sometimes be slow. Fortinet FortiPortal provides consistent support but is confined to fewer deployment options, with calls for better speed and availability of customer service.
Pricing and ROI: Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is seen as cost-effective compared to Palo Alto and Cisco, with a good return on investment due to its efficiency and minimal licensing needs. Fortinet FortiPortal, although considered industry-leading, is noted for being more expensive. There is a demand for more flexible pricing and licensing to meet diverse customer needs.
