"The most valuable feature of the solution is the remote management capability."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are the IPS, SSL Wireless, and VPN. Additionally, packet inspection and point-to-point VPN application control are useful."
"This solution makes it easier to manage a multi-cloud environment and have your entire infrastructure as code."
"The feature "Terraform Plan" is the most valuable in HashiCorp Terraform as it allows us to see the differences between the current infrastructure and the one we are about to deploy, keeping things safe. Additionally, we appreciate the use of the modules as it helps in making the application scalable."
"The environment is very good. That's awesome."
"The most valuable features of Terraform are leveraging public modules for EKS, KMS, and ECR."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Terraform is the custom modules."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the coding of our infrastructure. You can code it once and run it multiple times."
"The state backend, automated describe functionality, modular structures, and variablization using templates are most valuable."
"This solution is a fast and secure way to provision infrastructure."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud could improve security. Some of my customers do not trust on-cloud solutions."
"I would like to see a SIEM bundled together with this because customers are looking into better reporting and more proactive security solutions."
"However, the absence of certain features like CLI is a drawback."
"I recommend that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud improve their rules for configuration with each other."
"We are seeking a solution that can monitor our network traffic running through 17 firewalls in Malaysia and Indonesia. We want a solution that can record and monitor all the logs from all the firewalls. We want to consolidate all our firewalls into one portal so we can monitor all the activities from all the firewalls."
"I would like to see more reporting from the analysis improved in the future."
"We do find we get a bit of a lag."
"HashiCorp Terraform could improve the integration with the VCloud Director. When we manage the VCloud Director we end up wasting our time when creating virtual machines. HashiCorp Terraform knows about these issues and I think there might be a workaround but they should incorporate the fix in an upcoming release."
"It should have a more object-oriented approach like different coding languages."
"They have added a feature that helps us to import existing resources to our workspace, but if they can help us to create the code for the import, as well, then it would be a great addition."
"Terraform should also support YAML language, which is more user-friendly than HCL. They should also add a GUI, so you don't need to memorize all the commands. A GUI would enable us to do everything with a click of a button."
"Some areas where Terraform could improve would be challenges in managing sensitive information, especially when dealing with secret files or credentials."
"With cloud providers always adding new resource types, there are certain resources that Terraform does not support. It would be great if it could support those resources as well."
"It would be nice if they could put our infrastructure on graphics or at least provide a map of our infrastructure."
"If you are copying something from a well running machine to a remote machine, there are some issues with the current version, but it is acceptable."
