What is FortiCache [EOL]?

Today’s bandwidth requirements are out of control, consuming capacity as soon as it’s available. As users shift to mobile access and the volume of interactive and video content dramatically increases, it seems hard to keep up without adding a lot of expensive bandwidth. However, by reducing bandwidth demands and optimizing and accelerating the network, FortiCache caching appliances let you keep up with explosive bandwidth demand while delivering higher quality of service.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "I like the traffic monitoring because it meets the firewall protocols."
  • "It has a nice graphic interface and it is easy to find information about effectively using the product because of the large user-base."
  • "We think it's a good solution for cloud security, where one has hybrid cloud. They have different cloud solutions like a Office 365 or Azure or Amazon. This is a good solution to control all the different cloud solutions you have in your family of hybrid clouds, from one panel. This is what the main feature we look for."

Room for Improvement

  • "It should be set up more specifically so that I only pay for what I want."
  • "Sometimes when using high availability, the second firewall does not come up immediately if the first one goes down."
  • "However, we would like them to add more integrations. We would appreciate a more open solution. They're quite good when you have the entire Fortinet ecosystem, but otherwise it's not as good of a solution."

Pricing

  • "Pricing is based on a yearly contract."

Has high-availability for managing web caching, filtering and security through a user-friendly interface

Pros

"It has a nice graphic interface and it is easy to find information about effectively using the product because of the large user-base."

Cons

"Sometimes when using high availability, the second firewall does not come up immediately if the first one goes down. "

What is our primary use case?

In general, I use it to make a DMZ zone and protect our servers with the firewall. We also use it for web filtering access to some websites to reduce the use of our bandwidth.  

What is most valuable?

The fact that it is easy-to-use with a nice graphical interface is probably my favorite feature. Also, because it is a popular product, I can find many assorted company websites and information about how to configure the components and make the best use of the product.

Enables you to control all the different cloud solutions you have in your family of hybrid clouds but it needs more integrations

Pros

"We think it's a good solution for cloud security, where one has hybrid cloud. They have different cloud solutions like a Office 365 or Azure or Amazon. This is a good solution to control all the different cloud solutions you have in your family of hybrid clouds, from one panel. This is what the main feature we look for. "

Cons

"However, we would like them to add more integrations. We would appreciate a more open solution. They're quite good when you have the entire Fortinet ecosystem, but otherwise it's not as good of a solution. "

What is most valuable?

We think it's a good solution for cloud security, where one has hybrid cloud. They have different cloud solutions like Office 365, Azure or Amazon. This is a good solution to control all the different cloud solutions you have in your family of hybrid clouds, from one panel. This is what the main feature we look for.

What needs improvement?

It is quite good for our needs. They have the main integrations with all our different software and cloud solutions, like Office and Google. I know there are a lot of other solutions, but we use Fortinet.

However, we would like them to add more integrations. We would appreciate a more open solution. They're quite good when you have the entire Fortinet ecosystem, but otherwise it's not as good of a solution.

The access is perhaps something that can be improved. I think it's a product that could develop in the future. I hope they develop some control software security solutions or combiners.
