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.
