Cons
"The tool's security features need to improve. It needs also to include a monitoring system for logs. It is also complicated to find a query on the Azure firewall.""There should be a simple one-click deployment for a firewall, rather than a set of setup instructions that include steps such as the DNS configuration, et cetera.""We could do only one-way NAT-ing, where the traffic comes from outside to internal, to Azure, which is fine. However, when we actually do NAT-ed traffic to hit the firewall, that way is not working.""The solution can improve the integration with open-source tools.""The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."

"However, the absence of certain features like CLI is a drawback.""Everything related to the graphical user interface should be improved.""FortiGate Cloud could be improved with increased granularity for our control.""Fortinet FortiGate Cloud could improve the dashboards.""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.""The product is not recommended on the basis of technical parameters. It is very tough to authenticate.""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 recommend that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud improve their rules for configuration with each other."
