Cloud logs have supported long-term auditing but security vulnerabilities still raise concerns
It depends on the user. When he needs maybe data retention for one year, for three months or more, I recommend Fortinet FortiGate Cloud. If he doesn't want to set the log on FortiAnalyzer, I will recommend him with Fortinet FortiGate Cloud. It depends. As I mentioned before, if they don't have a syslog server or any other SIEM, I will recommend it. If they need an audit for one year of data retention, I will recommend it because it's worth the money for one year of log retention. It's straightforward. If I enable Fortinet FortiGate Cloud feature on the FortiGate on-premise or VM, it will copy the configuration on the cloud. Depending on my license, I can configure it or have it as read-only with a limited license. That's one of the main purposes of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for me. The report doesn't have many templates, but the log retention is so good with one-year retention. If you compare it with the FortiAnalyzer or maybe with any other product such as a FortiSIEM template, with the limited license, you only get the 360 template, it's called. I think the security function, I mainly use it for configuration purposes and log retention purposes. The security is the same as the VM or the hardware, I think. The sandbox. I think it has it, but not a lot if you only have the default capability with only 10 files per minute. I think the user needs to be selective with the files that they want to send to the sandbox on the cloud.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup of ExtremeAnalytics is straightforward and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has valuable firewall, SSL VPN, and web filtering features."
"It’s a good product overall; I have no problem with the service, with the defense, with management, and all aspects of the product are pretty great."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the UTP feature, IPS antivirus, and web filtering."
"Unlike other firewalls, the cost of Fortinet FortiGate is low, and the functionality is nearly identical, which is why we chose it."
"FortiGate Cloud is easy to scale because it's well integrated with public cloud providers."
"The template will save time from being wasted on load balancing."
"The VPN features are the most valuable."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are the protection of internal and remote systems."
 

Cons

"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."
"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"Initially the set up is not that easy. It requires a lot of research before you can finally make it work."
"We are seeking a solution that can monitor our network traffic running through 17 firewalls in Malaysia and Indonesia. We want a solution that can record and monitor all the logs from all the firewalls. We want to consolidate all our firewalls into one portal so we can monitor all the activities from all the firewalls."
"The area of the solution that needs the most improvement, the biggest problem, is they're still trying to digest that Meru acquisition."
"The solution should allow users to keep the data for longer than the current periods. I can't get any historic data after more than a month. I would like to be able to, after a year, look for trends from the past 12 months. It would make things much easier."
"I had some problems with the performance."
"Onboarding and activating customers in FortiGate Cloud is also tricky."
"When we're upgrading, it's sometimes quite challenging, especially firmware. We usually don't upgrade unless we have a bug, and we still feel it's not safe to react instead of being proactive. We often have some delays when updating FortiGuard, too."
"Reporting is an area that can be enhanced. It is not always beneficial, and you have to buy an additional license to get the type of reports that you're looking for."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."

"Fortinet has a good price, and I would give it a four out of five. There are no additional fees."
