Pros
"The hardware is reliable, and their support is excellent.""I have found the SD-WAN, flexibility, and security the most valuable features.""The solution offers good network performance and efficiency.""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 easy to use and the fact that I can schedule the report to come to my inbox at set times is very convenient for me.""The IPS and firewall function is valuable in Fortinet FortiGate Cloud.""The solution is scalable because they have models that allow it to be right sized.""It’s easy to implement."

"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration.""Most valuable function would have to the internal causal engine and its root cause analyzer which keep us updated on critical errors and incidents in our network environment.""The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors.""Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good.""It's quite a mature solution.""A good enterprise-level solution.""It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks.""The platform has good stability."

Cons
"Its price should be better.""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.""It is currently durable, but they may be able to improve it further. They can adapt Cisco technology because of its durability.""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.""However, the absence of certain features like CLI is a drawback.""The capacity to execute the solution needs to be improved. I would like to see management and analytics included in the solution.""The solution’s pricing and stability could be improved.""If you need to scale, you do need to trade up to a new Fortinet solution."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Cons →

"Only to improve the GUI.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility.""We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations.""When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained.""The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly.""The solution should integrate with NAC servers.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic.""They should add AI options in the product's next release."
