Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Reviews

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 are resellers who provide this solution to customers who require a firewall.

Also, it covers all of security use cases that you might have as a firewall.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the stability, it's actually tailored for that. 

It has many useful tools, such as managing wireless connections. If you have access points from the same vendor then you can manage them through FortiGate using the sandbox.

It's easy to use, it's straightforward, easy to configure, and to configure to your needs.

Reporting is an area that can be enhanced. It is not always beneficial, and you have to buy an additional license to get the type of reports that you're looking for.

There are often releases of the new firmware, which requires upgrades often. This is an inconvenience for customers as they have to have a maintenance window and turn off the internet until the upgrade is complete.

In the future, they could integrate with a third-party reporting tool such as Crystal Reports or Power BI, which might be beneficial, as it currently requires an additional license.

I have been working with FortiGate Cloud since 2015.

This solution is stable.

For the cloud, it is scalable because its nature. When it comes to the on-premises version, you are limited by your hardware.

With the Cloud, you can enhance or increase your cloud instance as your environment grows.

Technical support is wonderful. They are one of the good companies that provide really good technical support.

The initial setup is easy. Provided that you have your requirements clear, it is not complex. If you do not have clear requirements then it's like any other technology and it will be complex.

If you have your requirements ready and you what you want to achieve then it's straightforward.

The pricing is mid-ranged, it's not very expensive but it's not the cheapest or most affordable in the market.

When you have FortiGate, you subscribe to the FortiCloud in order to have certain intelligence.

This solution is good but there are many areas that need improvements.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I use the solution to respond to our SD-WAN requirements and to protect different links that access the resources. For example, if the user needs access to an application, then we use SD-WAN for access to the internet or to the cloud.

The security features, for example, URL filtering, AMP, and advanced threat protection, are very valuable.

I also like that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is cheaper than other solutions, such as Cisco.

The capacity to execute the solution needs to be improved.

I would like to see management and analytics included in the solution.

I've been using it for four years. It's on-premises and is integrated to the cloud.

It's very stable; it's a decent solution.

The scalability is not good because there have been many barriers to scaling. It's possible that our current model won't support future increases in the load and traffic.

We currently have 3000 users including IT and network engineers.

Technical support has got better, and I would give them a ten out of ten. 

Positive

It's easy to set up the solution, and I would give it five out of five. In general, it takes about one to two months, and in our case, it took two months.

Our deployment plan was to optimize the connection, and we did it in-house. For deployment and maintenance, we are a part of a team of five engineers.

Fortinet has a good price, and I would give it a four out of five. There are no additional fees.

We evaluated Cisco and Palo Alto before going with Fortinet FortiGate Cloud.

Cisco is good in terms of networking and SD-WAN, but it's not good with regard to security. Last year, Cisco was not in Gartner's Quadrant for security, but Fortinet and Palo Alto were leaders.

Palo Alto is very good and very strong in SD-WAN and in security, but the cost is prohibitive in some locations.

Fortinet has a good price.

My experience with Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has been good. It's easy to deploy, and it has a lot of information on the web to configure it.

I would rate the solution at eight on a scale from one to ten because of the ease of deployment, the many security features in the same appliance, and the fact that there are no additional costs for protection at base level to enterprise level. It's a good solution to begin perimeter protection.

I mainly use FortiGate Cloud for site-to-site VPNs, user VPNs, SD-WAN, and to help with our void deployments.

Fortigate Cloud rules out a lot of user errors.

FortiGate Cloud's most valuable feature is that it's 100% managed.

FortiGate Cloud could be improved with increased granularity for our control. In the next release, I'd like Fortinet to include integrated endpoint protection and for the user and SSL VPNs to have the same cloud protection.

I've been using FortiGate Cloud for just over a year.

FortiGate Cloud's stability is pretty good.

FortiGate Cloud's scalability is pretty good.

Fortinet's technical support has been pretty good.

The initial setup was really straightforward, and deployment took no longer than half an hour.

We used an in-house team.

There's a lot of return with FortiGate Cloud - it saves me a lot on configuration time, and there are a lot fewer headaches overall.

FortiGate Cloud was the most affordable option I knew of, but their new pricing is less of a bargain as it has fewer levels. 

I would give FortiGate Cloud a rating of eight out of ten.

The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is the logs are stored longer on this cloud version. If you have the on-premise version you will not be able to store the logs for more than one or two months.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud could improve security. Some of my customers do not trust on-cloud solutions.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for a few years.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is stable because it is a cloud solution.

The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is good.

We have approximately 20 people using Fortinet FortiGate Cloud.

The technical support from Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is good and they are responsive.

We have a coordinator who looks after the maintenance and support of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud.

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.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a seven out of ten.

We use this solution cloud-based platform to manage our networks.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has improved our organization's branches by providing overall better connectivity and security for all our networks.

I have found the SD-WAN, flexibility, and security the most valuable features.

Fortinet could improve FortiGate Cloud by providing better integration with third-party applications and features.

I have been using this solution within the past 12 months.

The stability is good.

We have approximately 10 people using the FortiGate cloud.

The technical support is very good in my experience.

The initial setup was easy. 

We have a team of four people that does the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

When comparing this solution to others it is less expensive and there is an annual license required.

There are different options available and it is important to choose a package that fits your use case. Overall this is a great solution.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a ten out of ten.

I am a consultant and this is one of the solutions that I provide to my customers.

I am familiar with Sandboxing services and some of the other features. This solution is mainly used for securing events.

The sandboxing feature is very important.

I would like to see a SIEM bundled together with this because customers are looking into better reporting and more proactive security solutions.

In the next release, it would benefit this solution to have more advanced monitoring capabilities such as predictive analysis and reporting.

I have been using FortiCloud for five or six years.

We have not come across any problems with stability.

With respect to scalability, we have had no problems whatsoever.

We have been in contact with the Fortinet technical support a couple of times, although it has been for hardware-related issues and had nothing to do with our configuration. One of our customers had hardware that was failing quite often.

The technical support is pretty good and so far, we have no complaints.

This initial setup is pretty straightforward. I don't think that it is complex.

The entire firewall implementation will take a couple of days, maximum. This is with everything, all together.

Some of our customers purchase yearly licenses, while others purchase subscriptions that are three years in length. The price is over $1,000 USD annually.

FortiCloud helps to enhance the security posture of any organization, and I definitely recommend looking into it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are using the solution to be able to manage everything from the cloud.

The ability to manage everything from the cloud is going to be the most valuable by far with this solution.

Currently with the solution, if you want to manage more than one FortiGate you have to use a VM, and a VM can control up to 10. You need to have a license for each one and it is confusing. Other solutions like Meraki is much more seamless. Easier usability and improving their WebDewey would benefit also.

I have been using the solution for a couple of months.

The overall setup was complex.

It will take us six weeks to implement 20 sites.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a six out of ten.
