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 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 solution is beneficial for managing bandwidth and live configuration."
"The tool is a mature product, ahead of brands like Sophos, though not quite at the Palo Alto or Checkpoint level. I'd rate it nine out of ten for being cost-effective and offering features similar to high-end options."
"The intel we get from Fortinet is its most valuable aspect."
"There's a lot of return with FortiGate Cloud - it saves me a lot on configuration time, and there are a lot fewer headaches overall."
"The cost is reasonable if you compare it to maybe a SIEM or FortiAnalyzer, and if the user just wants to query the log from maybe three months ago or six months ago, I think it's worth the money."
"This product is easy to manage and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the stability, it's actually tailored for that."
"It's quite easy to use, and it's easy to find the necessary information from the web."
 

Cons

"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"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 licensing is a little bit confusing and needs to be improved."
"I recommend that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud improve their rules for configuration with each other."
"It needs to improve the vulnerability that I found recently regarding the single sign-on from Fortinet FortiGate Cloud account."
"In Fortinet FortiGate Cloud, I am yet to see interoperability with other cloud options like OCI."
"The solution could improve by having a Russian interface."
"Things are moving increasingly towards hardware agnostic appliances, an area in which I would like Fortinet to be more focused and fast moving with that product line."
"We needed to do some training to be able to implement Fortinet FortiGate Cloud and after the training, we did the implementation in-house."
"I'd like to see some configuration changes. The speed seems to be a little better than it was previously but it could still be improved."
 

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."

"The solution requires an annual license but the cost is reasonable in comparison to competitors in the same category."
"The product cost varies based on company budgets, but for us, it's reasonably priced considering the value it provides."
