We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall Manager and Fortinet FortiGate Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 solution has improved our organization with its firewall."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Firewall Manager is the testing and configuration."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The tool's support is good."
"It is easy to install and does not require any plugins for your browser."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is the logs are stored longer on this cloud version. If you have the on-premise version you will not be able to store the logs for more than one or two months."
"Our customers implement this solution so that they can be assured of security in their environment."
"The solution is scalable because they have models that allow it to be right sized."
"We use the solution as a firewall."
"I have found centralized administration, cloud UI, and visibility and security on all networks valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the remote management capability."
"FortiGate Cloud boosts productivity because one solution covers all the requirements, features, and management functions. Staff can operate it with less security knowledge, so it decreases the workload of our security specialists. Anyone with training on the console can manage access to users and devices based on standardized structural services."
"It's user-friendly."
"The solution can improve the integration with open-source tools."
"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."
"The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
"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."
"There are European and US clouds and sometimes we mix them up. The solution should make determining the clouds more clear, or make one cloud instead of having separate ones."
"We needed to do some training to be able to implement Fortinet FortiGate Cloud and after the training, we did the implementation in-house."
"The solution’s pricing and stability could be improved."
"The product is not recommended on the basis of technical parameters. It is very tough to authenticate."
"The solution should include a commit button that allows for review of changes and deployments before they are submitted."
"The command-line interface could definitely be improved in future iterations. It's lacking right now."
"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."
"We've not seen any areas for improvement."
