Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I have found centralized administration, cloud UI, and visibility and security on all networks valuable features.""The solution works well for remote or branch offices.""We use the solution for routing and cloud security. We have multiple offices nationwide, all connected through the MPRS network, which is terminated at our FortiGate firewall. We consolidate our networks, filter packets, and segment our network through this firewall. My company has around three lakh firewalls.""FortiGate Cloud's most valuable feature is that it's 100% managed.""The most valuable features are management and integration.""Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has security features like DDoS protection and UTM.""The most valuable feature is the inspection. It inspects before we have any traffic stops intrusion.""The solution offers good network performance and efficiency."

"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks.""It's quite a mature solution.""A good enterprise-level solution.""Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults.""If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes.""Topology creation is the most valuable feature.""We do not have any issues stability-wise.""The platform has good stability."

Cons
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud could improve security. Some of my customers do not trust on-cloud solutions.""When we're upgrading, it's sometimes quite challenging, especially firmware. We usually don't upgrade unless we have a bug, and we still feel it's not safe to react instead of being proactive. We often have some delays when updating FortiGuard, too.""Its price should be better.""The solution should allow users to keep the data for longer than the current periods. I can't get any historic data after more than a month. I would like to be able to, after a year, look for trends from the past 12 months. It would make things much easier.""The solution should include a commit button that allows for review of changes and deployments before they are submitted.""As with any IT vendor, there are software issues.""Lacks some security against external attacks.""They're still trying to digest that Meru acquisition and need a plan."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Cons →

"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly.""The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports.""As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way.""When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained.""They should add AI options in the product's next release.""The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic.""Only to improve the GUI."
