Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We like the availability of the hardware and the service that we get from FortiGate, as well as the kind of reach that they have as a part of their sales folks.""FortiGate Cloud has many features that we like. For example, we're using it for security incident management, threat intelligence, and vulnerabilities check. It's integrated with several Fortinet tools like FortiAnalyzer and FortiSandbox controlled through FortiManager.""The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are ease of use and the simplicity of maintenance and configuration. Additionally, the modularity of the solution is very easy to handle, it is convenient.""The most valuable FortiGate Cloud feature is logging. It's there seven days a week, and there is no hard limit on logs or size restrictions. This much capacity will show up for that seven days. FortiGate Cloud offers many other valuable features like Fortinet Secure Gateway, SASE, and the Fortinet Security Fabric.""The intel we get from Fortinet is its most valuable aspect.""The security features, for example, URL filtering, AMP, and advanced threat protection, are very valuable.""It is a solid solution for business environments. Investing in this technology can yield significant cost and security enhancements.""Everything is valuable, especially the SD-WAN tunneling, filtering of email, application, and browsing.

Cons
"The command-line interface could definitely be improved in future iterations. It's lacking right now.""The SSL visibility could be better.""The console or demonstration tool could be more user friendly.""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.""It would be better for us if Fortinet provided a private cloud, and they should provide more security on the public cloud. There are some minor issues with security with the public cloud. For example, anyone with a link can access the public cloud.""Everything related to the graphical user interface should be improved.""It would be much better if Fortinet FortiGate Cloud allowed third-party integrations like multi factor-authentication.""Having a built-in SOC solution like an XDR platform within the solution would be convenient for customers."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Cons →

"Only to improve the GUI.""The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized""The solution should integrate with NAC servers.""Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic.""The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement.""The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly.""We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
