IgnitiusMolepo - PeerSpot reviewer
The hub-and-spoke setup is useful because I can manage security from where I am, while the IT engineers in branch offices can handle it on their end.
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. Nevertheless, I believe that it's okay most of the time with proper management. We also run into some problems using FortiGate as a UTM solution. I feel like maybe they're not giving me a full view of the other components that they have in that box. Their box has some DDoS defense, but I need complete DDoS protection. I must not have light DDoS protection on other UTM boxes because if I'm uncertain about the security posture, it will compromise me. We like having everything in one box because running multiple boxes eats up more resources on the computing level. We need a total solution, not half-half.

Cons

"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."
"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"As with any IT vendor, there are software issues."
"Things are moving increasingly towards hardware agnostic appliances, an area in which I would like Fortinet to be more focused and fast moving with that product line."
"Its price should be better."
"However, the absence of certain features like CLI is a drawback."
"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."
"If more products convert their configuration to Fortinet configuration, it will be easy for migration."
"They're constantly doing maintenance and there are unexpected downtimes for the cloud interface."
"They're still trying to digest that Meru acquisition and need a plan."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"The price of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is affordable. However, lowering the price would be good for the end-users. The cost of the solution was approximately $800 per year. There are some additional features you can add in addition to the regular features."
"When comparing this solution to others it is less expensive and there is an annual license required."
"The solution is neither cheap nor expensive."
"FortiGate Cloud was the most affordable option I knew of, but their new pricing is less of a bargain as it has fewer levels."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is cheaper than VMware and Cisco in the Bangladeshi market. Its pricing is reasonable."
"Every year, the product's prices go up and it has been continuing since the past three years. I have seen that the feedback related to the product from our department is that there is always a need for new devices without which there would be no security."
"The price fits the needs of our clients and it is adjustable by Defender."
"The solution is mid-priced when compared to other products."
