Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Primary Use Case
We use the solution for routing and cloud security. We have multiple offices nationwide, all connected through the MPRS network, which is terminated at our FortiGate firewall. We consolidate our networks, filter packets, and segment our network through this firewall. My company has around three lakh firewalls.
View full review »We have FortiGate Cloud deployed on all three major cloud providers: AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. The configuration varies from case to case. Azure is different from Google Cloud, which is entirely different from AWS. We have the documentation needed to deploy it on AWS, GCP, or Azure. We also have all the documents to use it on KBR for Fortinet. I don't use the latest version because updates typically have bugs. If it's on version 7.4, I prefer to use 6.4 or something like that.

GREG SHEPHERD
Sr. Account Manager at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Most of the use cases for the solution are as point products for remote sites coming back to a central hub where the gateways control the flow back into the outward sites, kind of a spoke and hub thing. There are multiple sites that are large enough to support small offshoots, and then it comes back. So you might think of it as four or five small data centers coming into two or three big data centers.

Technical Head at MICROLOGIC NETWORKS PRIVATE LIMITED
The FortiCloud is being used as a security fabric. It provides insights into the overall activity at the locations which we have deployed. We are in around 30 to 40 locations which we manage over a cloud. Managing is very simple via Fortinet, which really is a value-add to our technology - at least, the infrastructure portion, the management part.
