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

Pros

"The initial setup of ExtremeAnalytics is straightforward and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"Unlike other firewalls, the cost of Fortinet FortiGate is low, and the functionality is nearly identical, which is why we chose it."
"The ability to manage everything from the cloud is going to be the most valuable by far with this solution."
"The solution is beneficial for managing bandwidth and live configuration."
"FortiGate Cloud's most valuable feature is that it's 100% managed."
"The product's valuable features include network management and switching devices from anywhere."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"It's a comprehensive solution compared to other solutions."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are the protection of internal and remote systems."
 

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."
"I would like to see a SIEM bundled together with this because customers are looking into better reporting and more proactive security solutions."
"The solution could add load balancing and QS features at an application level."
"Having a built-in SOC solution like an XDR platform within the solution would be convenient for customers."
"Everything related to the graphical user interface should be improved."
"The capacity to execute the solution needs to be improved. I would like to see management and analytics included in the solution."
"Technical support is not the greatest. L1 support works exclusively by script, sometimes not even looking at the case to see that the info they subsequently request is already included in the initial info provided when the case was opened."
"We need some integration or communication between the endpoint and the firewall."
"Some configuration changes would be helpful."
 

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 license does not include many of the features that are necessary, which means that you have to pay extra for them."
"The product cost varies based on company budgets, but for us, it's reasonably priced considering the value it provides."
"I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price of the product is approximately 10,000 Qatar Riyal ($2,750 USD), and another 10,000 Qatar Riyal for a three-year license."
"While pricing could be more competitive, it ultimately depends on the client's budget and specific feature requirements."
"When comparing this solution to others it is less expensive and there is an annual license required."
"The solution is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The solution's pricing is good compared to that of Cisco and Meraki devices."
