Having the same functionality, whether deploying a small or large firewall, is very beneficial

Pros and Cons

"It has the same functionalities throughout the range of products."

"They have not yet extended to the cloud."

What is our primary use case?

We are integrators and I'm a senior consultant.

What is most valuable?

The best part of this product is that you have the same functionalities throughout the range of products, whether you deploy a small firewall or a big one, it's the same and you have the same functionality almost, so that's one of the benefits. You can also configure all your firewalls, and set them up in one box and use every interface for LAN1 or any kind of usage.

What needs improvement?

From my point of view, I think Fortinet has to extend the solution into the cloud and provide all the security features from the cloud and not be dependent on the firewall appliances. It would be much easier for them and for the customers. I'd like to see all the security features on the cloud in the next release.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for a few years.
