Rehan Khurram - PeerSpot reviewer
Achieve reliable cloud connectivity while benefiting from competitive pricing
The main advantage of FortiGate Cloud is its reliability, scalability, and pricing. I have deployed FortiGate devices both on-premises and in the cloud, and both are working great. The device is reliable despite being on cloud infrastructure, and the hypervisor part is managed by Azure. This reliability and the easy-to-configure GUI have been significant for our operations. Additionally, I have never faced any hardware malfunctions with these devices.
Fulya ALGÜL - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
