Integrating the tool with other solutions is very easy, so there is no problem with the product. I suggest other people take the best from the product since it is a really good solution. I would not change to a different product extension from Fortinet FortiGate Cloud as it makes you feel safe. If a customer wants to save his or her company, then it is better to get Fortinet FortiGate Cloud because it is one of the best solutions with which you can manage everything, like access points, switches, VLANs, and splitting of NAT, from one place. You can do it all from one point. With FortiGate, you can manage the VLANs, and you have them in every place, every switch, and every port. You can select the VLAN and the tool works. If Fortinet can become better, then it is even better. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The most valuable features are management and integration."
"The solution offers good network performance and efficiency."
"Fortinet products are just as good as any other competitor, with better management capabilities."
"FortiGate Cloud's most valuable feature is that it's 100% managed."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the sandboxing part, filters, and SD-WAN."
"We like the availability of the hardware and the service that we get from FortiGate, as well as the kind of reach that they have as a part of their sales folks."
"It's easy to use and the fact that I can schedule the report to come to my inbox at set times is very convenient for me."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
 

Cons

"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"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."
"However, the absence of certain features like CLI is a drawback."
"In the email security modules they have in their UTM, maybe they can include more extended or expanded features for the email security where users can have their own portal login to release blocked emails, as an example."
"In terms of stability, it could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud's customization is very limited."
"The Linux version currently lacks some of the latest features, notably in the IPv6 tool stack, which is available for Windows clients."
"The SSL visibility could be better."
"As with any IT vendor, there are software issues."
"GUI access could be improved. It should be simpler to access everything from the portal. Once we log in to the portal, we should be able to access all the Fortinet Cloud options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"We have a yearly license because we have a huge environment, so we need to upgrade regularly. We do it annually because quarterly updates would overwhelm the staff. Cisco was doing it at half-year intervals."
"The pricing is mid-ranged, it's not very expensive but it's not the cheapest or most affordable in the market."
"I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"If you purchase any Fortinet firewall, they will give you FortiCloud for 100 GB for free. You can access Fortinet FortiGate Cloud freely up to certain limits."
"Every year, the product's prices go up and it has been continuing since the past three years. I have seen that the feedback related to the product from our department is that there is always a need for new devices without which there would be no security."
"While pricing could be more competitive, it ultimately depends on the client's budget and specific feature requirements."
"Fortinet has a good price, and I would give it a four out of five. There are no additional fees."
"The solution's pricing is good compared to that of Cisco and Meraki devices."
