FortiGate Cloud is easy to scale because it's well integrated with public cloud providers. You can easily bridge if you use a private cloud. The licensing is also scalable.

I would rate its scalability capabilities seven out of ten. We have around a hundred remote workers spread across various cities, with approximately sixty-eight remote firewalls in use. We plan to deploy VoIP in the future and aim to leverage more VoIP capabilities for our remote operations.

FortiGate is scalable and robust. I'm working at a huge company. So I'm able to take over the traffic from all over Africa. We have around 45,000 users, including about 20,000 in South Africa, where I'm based. We also have users in Cameroon, Ghana, and Nigeria.

As a perimeter firewall, all of the people connected to the network are going through it. I am not sure of the exact number but it is more than 1,000 people per day. At this point, we have no plan to increase our usage. In the future, if there is an upgraded version, it is something that we will think about. We are innovative and we need to stay up to date, according to the market.

For administration, only myself and one of my colleagues have access to it. Only one or two engineers are needed for maintenance.

The scalability is great so far, although I don't think we have enough clients on the solution to really speak to that. We currently have a dozen firewalls on it, but we plan to roll it out to close to 100 customers.

It is scalable. However, if you need to get a bigger model, a higher model. You can't just do a software update and scale. You need to purchase a new FortiGate solution once your company grows to a certain point. That's the only drawback of scalability.

It's scalable up to a limit. You have to do sizing correctly. If the sizing is correct, then there are no issues; however, if not, then in some cases, you need to replace all the hardware in order to scale to the next level.

Some environments have only 20 users, and other environments where there are 5,000 users. The number of users varies from client to client.

General Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

While it is difficult for me to address the scalability, this may become an issue in light of the trend for things to move towards being software defined. I have no doubt this will require work to mitigate this issue. From the perspective of scalability, the throughput number of concurrent users are already redefined. Because of the obvious challenges, it would not be possible for us to scale up with the same underlying hardware. However, there are multiple models which exist in the hierarchy. There may be a need to first upgrade when those requirements will need to be filtered.

The limitation is on the hardware, which will eventually have to go once installation becomes completely virtual.

The solution is scalable because they have models that they do to allow it to be right-sized. They've got plenty of models, and the really, really big arm has capabilities up to 400GB, I think. It certainly could handle any client that you see, from small to enterprise.

I have clients that range from 50 users up to 16,000 on this product.

PB
Technical Head at MICROLOGIC NETWORKS PRIVATE LIMITED

The scalability depends on the sizing. You need to ask: who is the system engineer who is sizing for the customer? For example, if you are the customer and you have a 50 user setup, and the system engineer is proposing a 30E, that may not be a good or an ideal model for 50 users. A 40F would likely be better, as, when we enable UTM, it will enable all the functionality and all the engines will get started, and it will get used. The CPU processing will get distributed among all the services, and then performance may be spread across as well. That's why, while doing the sizing, I would suggest that any system engineer sizes a little bit on the higher side so that, even if the user count goes up, or if the customer plans for scaling, then that won't be a challenge for near future.

For us, the majority of the customers are on Fortinet. A majority of the other customers are on Sophos, and a few customers are on Palo Alto. Most of the enterprise customers are on Palo Alto. Most of the SMB customers are on Fortinet.

I rate the scalability of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a five out of five.

We were using the solution more but since the Coronavirus and other political circumstances in Lebanon, we have downsized the company. We had approximately 25 users using the solution but it has been reduced to only three users.

The scalability is not good because there have been many barriers to scaling. It's possible that our current model won't support future increases in the load and traffic.
