Offers users with a clear-to-understand functionalities
Integrating the tool with other solutions is very easy, so there is no problem with the product. I suggest other people take the best from the product since it is a really good solution. I would not change to a different product extension from Fortinet FortiGate Cloud as it makes you feel safe. If a customer wants to save his or her company, then it is better to get Fortinet FortiGate Cloud because it is one of the best solutions with which you can manage everything, like access points, switches, VLANs, and splitting of NAT, from one place. You can do it all from one point. With FortiGate, you can manage the VLANs, and you have them in every place, every switch, and every port. You can select the VLAN and the tool works. If Fortinet can become better, then it is even better. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

Good support, nice interface, and simple to upgrade
PDF format is not available for Alert Composer. There are file attachment or body content output options. The other issue is that the range object can be displayed in the rule viewer section. If we know the range object, we provide imaging, but if we do not know the range object, there is no imaging. It also allows adding range object rules when performing server cloning. In general, however, we have made successful progress since the POC process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are the IPS, SSL Wireless, and VPN. Additionally, packet inspection and point-to-point VPN application control are useful."
"You can control the solution anywhere from the cloud."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud makes it easy to manage different firewalls in different branches or locations from one place."
"It covers all needs of our customers and works well. It is also easy to deploy and troubleshoot."
"We use the solution as a firewall."
"The solution is quite stable. I haven't had issues with it crashing on me. I don't recall running into any bugs or glitches. It's very reliable so far."
"Our customers implement this solution so that they can be assured of security in their environment."
"It's easy to use."
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
 

Cons

"Fortinet could improve FortiGate Cloud by providing better integration with third-party applications and features."
"In the email security modules they have in their UTM, maybe they can include more extended or expanded features for the email security where users can have their own portal login to release blocked emails, as an example."
"All Fortinet products have many security flaws, and new versions often have large security holes."
"When we're upgrading, it's sometimes quite challenging, especially firmware. We usually don't upgrade unless we have a bug, and we still feel it's not safe to react instead of being proactive. We often have some delays when updating FortiGuard, too."
"We are seeking a solution that can monitor our network traffic running through 17 firewalls in Malaysia and Indonesia. We want a solution that can record and monitor all the logs from all the firewalls. We want to consolidate all our firewalls into one portal so we can monitor all the activities from all the firewalls."
"ACL is an area with shortcomings that needs to be improved."
"Everything related to the graphical user interface should be improved."
"However, the absence of certain features like CLI is a drawback."
"PDF format is not available for Alert Composer."
"The product's web page view is very basic. They could add new features to it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While pricing could be more competitive, it ultimately depends on the client's budget and specific feature requirements."
"It's relatively cheap."
"The license for Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is annual."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a one or two. The pricing is suitable for our company."
"The license does not include many of the features that are necessary, which means that you have to pay extra for them."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is cheaper than VMware and Cisco in the Bangladeshi market. Its pricing is reasonable."
"The tool's pricing is cheap."
"The solution's pricing is good compared to that of Cisco and Meraki devices."
"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
