We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""I have found the SD-WAN, flexibility, and security the most valuable features.""It's user-friendly.""This product is easy to manage and easy to use.""The sandboxing feature is very important.""The ability to manage everything from the cloud is going to be the most valuable by far with this solution.""The tool's GUI is user-friendly.""The initial setup is relatively easy."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Pros →

"It allows me to do more of the basic firewall features, like traffic management and others, in a single pane of glass.""The most valuable feature is the technical support, as it is better than others.""A centralized platform is crucial for efficiently managing all of our switches, which were previously handled individually, leading to significant challenges.""The most valuable feature is the management from a single pane of glass."

Cons
"The capacity to execute the solution needs to be improved. I would like to see management and analytics included in the solution.""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 should simplify the licensing model. It's too complex for decision-makers to choose from the range of options. Handling the pricing model is a nightmare, so it's difficult to sell the solution.""When it comes to technical support, the problem we have found is that if an issue comes, it takes a day to get everything resolved. It could be faster. They can be better at optimizing how they answer tickets in terms of response times. There must be ways to make the process more streamlined. It would make it easier for their clients.""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 robustness of the software could be improved.""The platform's reporting and analysis capabilities need improvement.""It would be better for us if Fortinet provided a private cloud, and they should provide more security on the public cloud. There are some minor issues with security with the public cloud. For example, anyone with a link can access the public cloud."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Cons →

"I would like to see Space created to fully functional, where it's got multiple modules, particularly SD-WAN working on Corporate, or maybe become part of the Orchestrator portion.""The upgrades are very time-consuming and difficult, and they often have to rebuild the product.""I would like to them include network real-time performance and come up with a dashboard report.""Its interface should be improved and enhanced to offer various functions, with flexible pricing"
