Find out in this report how the two Firewall Security Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The VPN features are the most valuable."
"The solution is scalable because they have models that allow it to be right sized."
"FortiGate Cloud has many features that we like. For example, we're using it for security incident management, threat intelligence, and vulnerabilities check. It's integrated with several Fortinet tools like FortiAnalyzer and FortiSandbox controlled through FortiManager."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"The ability to manage everything from the cloud is going to be the most valuable by far with this solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the remote management capability."
"It's easy to use."
"I like Fortinet FortiGate Cloud's simple UX and UI designs and the fact that it is also a VPN solution for our clients. The solution is user-friendly."
"The management and the deployment features are most valuable. We can easily deploy and manage the devices. We can do fast deployments without moving from our office and by just providing a short description to the end-user about how to install the physical device."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The application ID or App-ID feature is a good feature for us. We are also using IPS and content inspection features. The firewall can inspect the packages that are passing through my network."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama is stable."
"The dashboards are very good on Palo Alto. They offer a centralized dashboard for managers as well."
"It allows administrators to manage all firewalls from a single interface, reducing the time and effort required for configuration."
"The most valuable feature is WildFire."
"The most valuable item is centralization and we can get all of the router bases in a single window."
"The only area that requires improvement is the login reports. We aim to integrate it with our local mobile service provider."
"If you need to scale, you do need to trade up to a new Fortinet solution."
"Lacks some security against external attacks."
"The solution should include a commit button that allows for review of changes and deployments before they are submitted."
"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."
"It would be much better if Fortinet FortiGate Cloud allowed third-party integrations like multi factor-authentication."
"Some configuration changes would be helpful."
"The SSL visibility could be better."
"Reporting might be an area to improve. It can provide reporting or some sort of graphical representation of your environment."
"It could be more secure."
"The licensing costs are quite high."
"My company's getting whatever it needs from Palo Alto Networks Panorama, but in the cloud, there's an issue with CPU management, and that's an area for improvement. Though the normal data traffic doesn't go through the management interface, whenever there's an increase in the throughput, CPU management becomes high. If you increase the load, CPU management spikes, and it's what needs to be taken care of in Palo Alto Networks Panorama."
"This would be a better solution if it were more tightly integrated with the firewalls."
"Lacking in speed and reliability."
"When creating remote access for users, it would be beneficial to be able to base the object on on-premises or the cloud."
"The configuration could be a bit better."
