Pros
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has good pricing compared to other firewall and security products.""The tool's GUI is user-friendly.""FortiGate Cloud has many features that we like.

Cons
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud could improve the dashboards.""I would like to see a SIEM bundled together with this because customers are looking into better reporting and more proactive security solutions.""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.""Lacks some security against external attacks.""The only area that requires improvement is the login reports. We aim to integrate it with our local mobile service provider.""In the email security modules they have in their UTM, maybe they can include more extended or expanded features for the email security where users can have their own portal login to release blocked emails, as an example.""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.""I recommend that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud improve their rules for configuration with each other."

"HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow.""I would like to see additional modules included.""The integration with other network devices needs improvement.""One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product."
