Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Other Advice

MdZaman - PeerSpot reviewer
IT manager at a agriculture with 10,001+ employees

We have a dedicated network team known as NCC. They periodically share network and firewall reports detailing how external threats are being blocked. We have not used any additional security solutions other than the product since 2019. Our workstations utilize Microsoft Defender at the desktop level, while network control is managed by the product at the firewall level.

The main reason we opted for the product is its ability to provide a unified solution across our global operations spanning over eighty countries. Its cost was not our primary concern. 

I rate it a ten out of ten. Due to our experience since 2019 without any incidents, Fortinet FortiGate Cloud proves to be cost-effective and easy to configure, making it a favorable product for all users. It comes with AI analytics features that use predictive analysis to analyze the network traffic.

Scalability, ease of use, and management simplicity are the most advantageous aspects compared to other solutions we have. However, the absence of certain features like CLI is a drawback. Overall, I would rate it a six out of ten.

I rate FortiGate Cloud eight out of 10. FortiGate is a good solution. It's powerful and has almost everything you need from a security perspective. The issue with Cisco FirePOWER is that you must buy the FirePOWER box. When you need DDoS, you have to buy a separate box. With Fortinet, everything is in one box. You just buy the license and let it run.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a nine out of ten. 

I recommend using a trusted infrastructure provider. We recommend United Internet/IONOS in Germany, but other major operators, such as AWS, Azure, etc. It's a cloud security product, so you need a good available infrastructure. Other implementation options are available.

The solution is cloud-based. Trend Micro Incorporated is the service provider.

If you are looking for a low-cost security appliance with web filtering, application filtering, and SD-WAN tunneling, I would recommend Fortinet FortiGate Cloud. It's not expensive, and it meets the most basic requirements.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a nine out of ten.

My advice for anybody who is looking into FortiGate Cloud is that if they're looking for the best security at a minimum price then this is a product that I recommend. It is the best firewall in the world. There are others that are good but also quite expensive. If you're in small or medium enterprise business, you should implement FortiGate.

Overall, I am very happy using this product. The vendor is doing a very good job. It is a top-listed product and there is nobody that can beat FortiGate.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate mine out of 10. The hardware is reliable, and their support is excellent. Before implementing FortiGate, you should ensure your other solutions can gather the information from the FortiGate firewalls.

I’m an end-user.

I’m not using the latest version. I’m in the middle of deciding if we will continue to use the product or change it out for something new.

I recommend the solution. I have had a great experience. It's not difficult to learn. The reporting and dashboards are good. I have a model that is medium sized, the FG 300D. However, I reviewed the other models, and they looked great too. It’s really just the price for us.

I’d rate the solution nine out of ten.

We have a partnership with Fortinet.

The solution requires you to leave lots of room for growth when you're spec-ing your firewall solution. Don't just get the exact amount and then you are stuck with a lower model that can't support as many users. It’s better to over-assume what you will need.

I’d rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I’ve never had any issues with it yet. We've got it on three sites and it wasn't a hassle setting up. It’s also prevented me from dealing with tech support since everything works, which makes me happy.

We are just a customer and an end-user. We are not a partner and don't have a business relationship with Fortinet. 

We have quite a mix of deployments. We have some FortiGates deployed in Azure, we have some FortiGates that are hardware only, and then we have some FortiGates that are on EFX or vSphere.

I would recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

I'd rate the product at a seven out of ten. mostly due to the lackluster support on offer.

I recommend Fortinet FortiGate Cloud because it requires a simple and easy installation. The solution is suitable for small and medium-sized organizations for network security. The solution's VPN features are very easy to configure. with Cisco and other Fortinet products. I suggest others use Fortinet FortiGate Cloud.

We are the partner for Fortinet, and we sell their products. 

We are not using it for our own network.

We tend to deal with the latest version of the solution. 

In most cases, we deploy on-prem. We have one or two cases only in the cloud. However, most cases are on-prem.

My advice would be mainly to first have proper data gathering from customers before implementing. As part of the data gathering, a company needs to include some facts regarding the utilization network and the sizing. You need to get sizing correct from the outset and should plan to have room for an extra 30% increase in the future.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

I would recommend the solution to someone who is looking for a faster, more responsive, cost competitive and agile delivery for the equipment. In this geography hierarchy, the sales team is pretty much geared up to support you. 

The priorities can vary from one organization to the next. Based on those that we set for ourselves, we felt our needs to be met and this is why we chose to go with the solution. 

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud as a seven out of ten.

GS
Sr. Account Manager at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

The solution has started to move into things like security cameras, having an all-in-one point of security contact; they've got cameras and SD-WAN and next-generation firewalls. And they've got a large portfolio now, so we're seeing more people, especially in the small and medium-size move to something like this. In the bigger clients, what we see them doing is looking at mainly having the add-on of being able to manage the wireless through the same point of management.

My advice to customers considering FortiGate is to look at the breadth of the offering rather than a specific product. The breadth of the offering, meaning that you can do switching, you can do wireless, you can do the security cameras, you can do SD-WAN, you can do 5G. You can do it on-prem, you can do it in the cloud. There are lots of different options here that give you the flexibility to deliver a security posture you feel comfortable with across on-prem and cloud-based management. There's some AI in it now that's starting to give you some real meaningful data points on security, which are nice to have.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

My experience with Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has been good. It's easy to deploy, and it has a lot of information on the web to configure it.

I would rate the solution at eight on a scale from one to ten because of the ease of deployment, the many security features in the same appliance, and the fact that there are no additional costs for protection at base level to enterprise level. It's a good solution to begin perimeter protection.

I'm a user of the solution; I don't have a relationship to Fortigate. I'm not a reseller or integrator.

I don't really have specific advice for other companies considering trying it, however, I think they would enjoy using the product. In terms of stability and ease of use, it's great. It's not complex at all. It's an approachable product.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I'd give it a perfect ten out of ten if we could get more leverage in terms of automation and integration. We'd really like to leverage automation resources in the future.
