Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Valuable Features

Githin George - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistant Manager at Ingram Micro

The most valuable FortiGate Cloud feature is logging. It's there seven days a week, and there is no hard limit on logs or size restrictions. This much capacity will show up for that seven days. FortiGate Cloud offers many other valuable features like Fortinet Secure Gateway, SASE, and the Fortinet Security Fabric. 

Fortinet Security Fabric combines so many Fortinet products, allowing you to monitor them from a single vendor. Fortinet Security Fabric, the log features, and FortiGuard integration are all useful features. Fortinet Cloud also offers data integration with private and public clouds. The configuration isn't too complicated, either. It's pretty manageable and easy to understand.

FortiGate Cloud has many features that we like. For example, we're using it for security incident management, threat intelligence, and vulnerabilities check. It's integrated with several Fortinet tools like FortiAnalyzer and FortiSandbox controlled through FortiManager. 

We also find Fortinet's hub-and-spoke setup useful because I can manage security from where I am, while the IT engineers in branch offices can handle it on their end.

FortiGate helps us reduce operational workloads and standardize security management processes. It streamlines everything, which is helpful for management. 

It provides you visibility into distributed sites. For example, some massive customers have multiple businesses with different requirements. The Fortinet infrastructure is also excellent for integrating on-premise and cloud environments. 

It works for any type of customer.

It's a UTM solution. It covers layer four to layer seven in terms of firewall functionality. It doesn't only cover the network. It also covers application cases. 

It also has an IPS module. It has an anti-malware module. Usually, customers can extend the license, and they can have Fortinet agents which will help them enforce the policies also when they are outside the network. 

It's a comprehensive solution compared to other solutions.

The initial setup is relatively easy.

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

It's a pretty robust product. Features we've found most valuable are that it's easy to manage with the management interface, it's really simple and quick. When you've got a lot of them deployed, it's a big deal. The user experience is pretty good. The efficiency and the workflow type of arrangements you can set up where you can monitor and manage remotely, and then push out updates and that kind of thing, is a big deal to my clients. Most of them are self-managed, meaning that we don't manage the solution for them. They've got their own reasons for liking it, but when I talk to them, those are the two big ones. They're easy to manage, they're easy to deploy, they rarely break.
