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 application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup of ExtremeAnalytics is straightforward and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is the logs are stored longer on this cloud version. If you have the on-premise version you will not be able to store the logs for more than one or two months."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is easy to use."
"It is a solid solution for business environments. Investing in this technology can yield significant cost and security enhancements."
"The VPN features are the most valuable."
"In terms of stability and ease of use, it's great."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"The solution works well for remote or branch offices with unlimited links, and that's where we've found the most benefit."
"FortiGate Cloud boosts productivity because one solution covers all the requirements, features, and management functions. Staff can operate it with less security knowledge, so it decreases the workload of our security specialists. Anyone with training on the console can manage access to users and devices based on standardized structural services."
 

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."
"We needed to do some training to be able to implement Fortinet FortiGate Cloud and after the training, we did the implementation in-house."
"The improvements in pricing could make the product more accessible to a broader range of clients."
"I recommend that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud improve their rules for configuration with each other."
"The solution could improve by having a Russian interface."
"I would like to see Wi-Fi management inside the firewall."
"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."
"If more products convert their configuration to Fortinet configuration, it will be easy for migration."
"The command-line interface could definitely be improved in future iterations. It's lacking right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"The tool's pricing is fair. I rate it a six out of ten. You don't have to pay any additional costs."
"All the consulting and deployment charges are included in the product's licenses. There are no additional costs."
"The price of the solution is high compare to competitors."
"FortiGate Cloud was the most affordable option I knew of, but their new pricing is less of a bargain as it has fewer levels."
"The solution is relatively cost-effective compared to alternatives."
"The solution requires an annual license but the cost is reasonable in comparison to competitors in the same category."
"The price of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is reasonable when compared to Juniper and others, we are happy. We have a three-year subscription."
"I rate the product pricing as seven out of ten."
