Network Security Engineer at a tech company with 201-500 employees
Protection which makes IT life simpler and easier to manage
Pros and Cons
- "The template will save time from being wasted on load balancing."
- "Everything related to the graphical user interface should be improved."
What is our primary use case?
Mostly, we use the solution as a preemptive firewall for protection of most of the Active Directories, Azure, our main servers that we migrated and web application servers, those moved to the cloud.
The main purpose of this cloud solution is too greatly simplify IT life, as it does in every facet. It also make things easier to manage.
What needs improvement?
Everything related to the graphical user interface should be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using and integrating Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for around two years.
How are customer service and technical support?
There is no need to improve technical support.
How was the initial setup?
When the template is used deployment takes less than two minutes. What is nice about the template is that it provides FortiGate with load balancer capabilities, with the input and output rules relating to it. This will save time from being wasted on load balancing. In contrast, Azure requires that a load balancer be created between two or three VMs. The template provides all of these features, meaning that there is no need to do anything extra. It will create everything by default. The Azure template, not so much.
What about the implementation team?
We are both users and integrators of the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
As with us, our customers need not pay for a license. One brings one's own.
What other advice do I have?
I would absolutely recommend this solution to others.
I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud as an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
