Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is relatively easy."

"It covers all needs of our customers and works well. It is also easy to deploy and troubleshoot."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the remote management capability."

"It's easy to use."

"We are currently only using Fortinet VPN from Fortinet's suite of applications and solutions. During the nearly two years that I've been working here, we've experienced zero incidents with the Fortinet FortiGate Cloud hardware or software. However, our operational system lacks high availability, which became evident during two fires."

"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud makes it easy to manage different firewalls in different branches or locations from one place."

"The solution includes a very stable VPN and IPS."

"Everything is valuable, especially the SD-WAN tunneling, filtering of email, application, and browsing. Everything has value."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cloud pros

"One of the notable advantages is its ability to provide quick responses, especially in critical situations."

"The most valuable feature is the interface and its ease of use."

"The most useful feature is infrastructure monitoring including switches and servers."

"It's a very complete product with a lot of functionality."

Cons

"The improvements in pricing could make the product more accessible to a broader range of clients."

"The Linux version currently lacks some of the latest features, notably in the IPv6 tool stack, which is available for Windows clients."

"They're still trying to digest that Meru acquisition and need a plan."

"Reporting is an area that can be enhanced."

"The only area that requires improvement is the login reports. We aim to integrate it with our local mobile service provider."

"The console or demonstration tool could be more user friendly."

"It would be much better if Fortinet FortiGate Cloud allowed third-party integrations like multi factor-authentication."

"If more products convert their configuration to Fortinet configuration, it will be easy for migration."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cloud cons

"The integration with other network devices needs improvement."

"One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product."

"HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow."

"I would like to see additional modules included."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution requires an annual license but the cost is reasonable in comparison to competitors in the same category."

"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."

"The solution is mid-priced when compared to other products."

"All the consulting and deployment charges are included in the product's licenses. There are no additional costs."

"The price of the solution is high compare to competitors."

"If you purchase any Fortinet firewall, they will give you FortiCloud for 100 GB for free. You can access Fortinet FortiGate Cloud freely up to certain limits."

"The license does not include many of the features that are necessary, which means that you have to pay extra for them."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cloud pricing and cost advice

"There are licensing costs and they are quite expensive."

"The price of this solution is not at all cheap, but it's reasonable compared to SolarWinds."
