Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Reviews

The Fortianalyzer is the most valuable aspect of this solution.

The initial setup was straightforward as we used a third-party implementor. 

Support has been helpful. 

The analysis could be better. 

We do find we get a bit of a lag. 

The integration could be better.

Beyond that, it is meeting our needs.

I've used the solution for around eight months. 

We have around 100 people using the solution. 

Technical support has been great. We are satisfied with their capabilities. 

It was a straightforward setup as we had a third party manage the process. 

We using a company here in Brazil to deliver the solution for us. It's a third-party company.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are working on. We likely updated it in the last two months. 

We're a reseller and Fortigate partner. 

It's worked perfectly for us, and we are happy with the product. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is used primarily for network and application protection.

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.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for one year and a half.

I have found Fortinet FortiGate Cloud to be highly stable.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is scalable.

We have approximately 1,000 users that use the solution in my organization.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud's initial configuration is very straightforward. After the deployment, it does not take more than a week to have it fully configured and in production.

We needed to do some training to be able to implement Fortinet FortiGate Cloud and after the training, we did the implementation in-house.

We are not measuring the return of investment (ROI) from a specific point of view, because we are using it in the information technology area. We are not selling services through this particular security element, we don't have that measure at this moment, but from our point of view, the ROI is fine. 

The license for Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is annual.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud an eight out of ten.

We are using Fortinet FortiGate Cloud mainly for a file server at the office, and we have some services that transfer some applications remotely. We are using the firewall to secure the connection to our offices, for the internet connection, and for the applications using the VPN connections.

We have found the most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are the firewall and the VPN connection manager. I am not worried about any cyber attacks, the solution is secure and I receive daily summary reports.

I have used Fortinet FortiGate Cloud within the last 12 months.

The solution has been highly reliable.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is scalable.

I rate the scalability of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a five out of five.

We were using the solution more but since the Coronavirus and other political circumstances in Lebanon, we have downsized the company. We had approximately 25 users using the solution but it has been reduced to only three users.

I have stopped the support contract because I never used it for five years. I never faced any issue that requires support.  Any issues I had it was easy to handle myself. The solution is very reliable.

When I started my job at the company, they had a Juniper firewall, but it was out of warranty and out of contract. While researching, I found the Fortinet FortiGate Cloud, and I read some good reviews about it which were good and this is why I selected it.

For a system administrator, the initial setup is straightforward. I didn't face any issue configuring it. It was so easy. There are videos and tutorials, which helps a lot.

It took one hour for the installation at the cabinet and the wiring, approximately five hours for the full configuration for the VPN tunneling, and subnetting the IP.

I did the implementation and maintenance myself. 

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.

I would advise others to purchase this solution because it's reliable and it's worth every dollar.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for configuration management and network management.

The solution is very easy to use. 

The technical support is very good. You only need to have a good internet connection in order to use it.

When you login to Forticloud you get directed to the Global site, even if you are based in Europe and you have to switch manually to the European site which can be confusing when you are not familiar to Forticloud, especially in the beginning and when you want to setup your first device. This should be more like a question when you log in, are you based in the US or are you based in Europe?

Pretty straight forward

I've been using the solution for four years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is fairly scalable. You can add and remove products yourself. Right now we have four users on it. At this time, we don't plan to increase usage.

Technical support is good if you ask the right questions. If you are specific, you'll be able to go straight through to the correct level of support.

We did not previously use a different solution.  We've been very satisfied with this service and don't plan to change.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I handled the implementation myself.

We use the solution fairly regularly, on a daily basis. We're partners and resellers of the solution.

I'd recommend the solution. It's very good.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The solution is primarily used as a firewall. We use it as a next generation firewall, however, not SD-WAN, at least, not regularly.

The functionality of the solution is excellent.

The pricing is quite good. We find it to be reasonable. It's not too expensive.

The integration could be better on the solution. As it is now, there's definitely room for improvement.

The command-line interface could definitely be improved in future iterations. It's lacking right now.

I've been using this solution for five years at this point. It's been a while.

We haven't heard of anyone having issues with the stability. It's good. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

We haven't had any complaints about the scalability. If a company needs to expand it, they should be able to do so.

The companies that we deal with vary in size. We work with organizations that can be anywhere from 50 to 5,000 employees.

The initial setup is not complex at all. I found it to be quite straightforward. We didn't have any issues with the implementation.

We have an internal team that handles the maintenance of Fortigate. We have 40 employees that deal with that aspect of the solution.

The pricing is quite reasonable. It's not overly expensive.

We're Fortigate service providers.

I'm not a technician and therefore I don't use the solution on a day to day basis.

That said, I would recommend it to other organizations. It's been reliable and works well for us.

On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate it at a nine.

The load balancing of the solution is excellent.

The QoS (Quality of Service) provided is very impressive.

When it comes to the overall product, I don't see places for improvement. It's excellent.

The cost of the solution is too high. It should be adjusted to be more affordable for companies. Right now, I feel like it's far too much.

I've been using the solution for about a year at this point.

The solution is quite stable. I haven't had issues with it crashing on me. I don't recall running into any bugs or glitches. It's very reliable so far.

The solution is scalable. We have 150 people on it right now in our company, but if we needed to expand it, I have no doubt it would be relatively easy. In fact, we're beginning to expand a little bit now and plan to increase usage in the future as well.

When it comes to technical support, the problem we have found is that if an issue comes, it takes a day to get everything resolved. It could be faster. They can be better at optimizing how they answer tickets in terms of response times. There must be ways to make the process more streamlined. It would make it easier for their clients. 

We didn't previously use other options before we chose Fortigate Cloud. It was the first one we chose.

The initial setup is straightforward. I don't find it to be complex at all.

Once we went through the documentation and all of the other items, it might have taken a day or so to set everything up and deploy the solution.

The solution is quite expensive.

We had a look at Silver Peak and a few other products. However, we heard from the reviews and at other expos that FortiGate would be the right solution for what we required, so we chose to try them out instead.

I'm a user of the solution; I don't have a relationship to Fortigate. I'm not a reseller or integrator.

I don't really have specific advice for other companies considering trying it, however, I think they would enjoy using the product. In terms of stability and ease of use, it's great. It's not complex at all. It's an approachable product.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I'd give it a perfect ten out of ten if we could get more leverage in terms of automation and integration. We'd really like to leverage automation resources in the future.

We use Fortinet FortiGate Cloud as a firewall to connect safely to the internet.

The IPS and firewall function is valuable in Fortinet FortiGate Cloud.

We have found that the antivirus functions are very bad in Fortinet FortiGate Cloud and we don't use the antivirus anymore. Additionally, the FortiADC has bad quality.

The solution could improve by having a Russian interface.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for approximately 10 years.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is a stable solution.

I have found Fortinet FortiGate Cloud to be scalable.

Our organization is not large, we have approximately 15 workers in my organization using it.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud technical support is not bad. The support is mostly very good.

The Fortinet FortiGate Cloud installation was not a problem but we have some local laws which make some restrictions for deployment cloud solutions. A lot of our customers use the premise version, not the cloud. The full deployment is not in one day, because we need to agree on a lot of details with our customers and it takes time. A typical time of the deployment can take approximately two to four weeks.

Unfortunately, we bought this solution for our main customer, and we had some problems deploying it correctly because its features didn't want to work. We have a lot of experience to install FortiGate and Fortinet solutions. However, we have faced some problems with  Fortinet mainly. 

We have a few workers that do the maintenance for the solution.

Fortinet has only an annual payment method. There is no monthly payment option.

They have only one standard license without any additional features.

We plan on using this solution in the future if our customers require it. If not then we will move to other solutions that will fit our client's needs.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is very useful to save logs. If you do not have hardware equipment, you may use this solution. If you don't want to implement and deploy hardware, this is a good choice.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for the basic protection of the on-premises network.

It's quite easy to use, and it's easy to find the necessary information from the web.

They have the means to learn how to use Fortinet.

The initial set up could be simplified. 

When evaluating other solutions, I learned that Sophos for example is able to have the endpoint interact with the firewall. If something goes wrong or if the endpoint is not behaving as it should, it could isolate the endpoint. We need some integration or communication between the endpoint and the firewall.

I would also like to have a bundle available that would include things like EDR and endpoint.

I have been using FortiGate Cloud for approximately three years.

This solution is stable.

We have not explored the scalability. We purchased what fits our user size and have not had to expand it yet.

We have approximately 20 users.

We plan to continue to use the Fortinet FortiGate Cloud.

We are quite satisfied with technical support.

Initially the set up is not that easy. At first, you are familiar with the product and then it has some difficulty in setting it up.

It requires a lot of research before you can finally make it work.

We implemented this solution ourselves. We did not use a vendor team.

There are costs in addition to the standard licensing fee. The license does not include many of the features that are necessary, which means that you have to pay extra for them.

I evaluated other products. We chose Fortinet because it was the preferred option.

If you are new to Fortinet, do some research on how to configure it, either through documentation or watching videos.

Recently, I have learned that they have training available and offer certification material and testing on the web.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a seven out of ten.
