Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Reviews

We use the solution as a firewall. 

The product is not recommended on the basis of technical parameters. It is very tough to authenticate. 

I have been working with the solution for five years. 

I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. 

I would rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. My company has 1000 users for the product. 

The tool's pricing is cheap. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. 

We use FortiGate to protect 100 to 200 users at my company.

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.

We have been using FortiGate for more than a decade.

FortiGate is highly stable.

FortIGate's scalability is good.

We have contacted Fortinet support for some minor issues with upgrades to our IPS database.

FortiGate is quite user-friendly. It's not that complicated.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate mine out of 10. The hardware is reliable, and their support is excellent. Before implementing FortiGate, you should ensure your other solutions can gather the information from the FortiGate firewalls.

The Fortianalyzer is the most valuable aspect of this solution.

The initial setup was straightforward as we used a third-party implementor. 

Support has been helpful. 

The analysis could be better. 

We do find we get a bit of a lag. 

The integration could be better.

Beyond that, it is meeting our needs.

I've used the solution for around eight months. 

We have around 100 people using the solution. 

Technical support has been great. We are satisfied with their capabilities. 

It was a straightforward setup as we had a third party manage the process. 

We using a company here in Brazil to deliver the solution for us. It's a third-party company.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are working on. We likely updated it in the last two months. 

We're a reseller and Fortigate partner. 

It's worked perfectly for us, and we are happy with the product. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for firewalls and VPN only.

It's easy to use. There are no specific features that stand out as such, based on my experience. I don't interact with these tools. My job is to just identify a product and get it deployed.

Technical support is good.

The solution is stable.

So far, it's been serving all the required purposes. We've not seen any areas for improvement. No missing features come to mind right now. 

I've been using the solution for more than five years. 

The stability is great. There are no bugs or glitches. It was reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

We haven't had to scale yet. I'm not sure how scalable the solution is. 

We have a small deployment of about 1,200 users. It's all at the engineering level.  

I've been in touch with technical support. They are good. We are satisfied with support. 

Positive

We use CrowdStrike Falcon and FortiGate.

I'm not sure if we have used anything before this solution. 

I'm not the end user for these tools. However, I do know about the deployment. It's easy to set up and not complex at all. It takes three to four days. 

The deployment was handled by three people. 

I don't handle the licensing. I can't speak to the cost of the product.

We are engineering partners with Fortinet.

We're using the latest version of the solution. It was recently patched. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

I would recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

I use the solution to respond to our SD-WAN requirements and to protect different links that access the resources. For example, if the user needs access to an application, then we use SD-WAN for access to the internet or to the cloud.

The security features, for example, URL filtering, AMP, and advanced threat protection, are very valuable.

I also like that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is cheaper than other solutions, such as Cisco.

The capacity to execute the solution needs to be improved.

I would like to see management and analytics included in the solution.

I've been using it for four years. It's on-premises and is integrated to the cloud.

It's very stable; it's a decent solution.

The scalability is not good because there have been many barriers to scaling. It's possible that our current model won't support future increases in the load and traffic.

We currently have 3000 users including IT and network engineers.

Technical support has got better, and I would give them a ten out of ten. 

Positive

It's easy to set up the solution, and I would give it five out of five. In general, it takes about one to two months, and in our case, it took two months.

Our deployment plan was to optimize the connection, and we did it in-house. For deployment and maintenance, we are a part of a team of five engineers.

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

We evaluated Cisco and Palo Alto before going with Fortinet FortiGate Cloud.

Cisco is good in terms of networking and SD-WAN, but it's not good with regard to security. Last year, Cisco was not in Gartner's Quadrant for security, but Fortinet and Palo Alto were leaders.

Palo Alto is very good and very strong in SD-WAN and in security, but the cost is prohibitive in some locations.

Fortinet has a good price.

My experience with Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has been good. It's easy to deploy, and it has a lot of information on the web to configure it.

I would rate the solution at eight on a scale from one to ten because of the ease of deployment, the many security features in the same appliance, and the fact that there are no additional costs for protection at base level to enterprise level. It's a good solution to begin perimeter protection.

It's user-friendly.

The robustness of the software could be improved.

I have been using this solution for three years.

Here and there, there will be a hardware failure, but any hardware can fail.

It's easy to scale.

It's very easy to maintain. You just go on the web, you click is there a newer software and they'll tell you yes. Then you're supposed to make a backup of your configuration file and then you download it.

It's relatively cheap.

I feel that Juniper is more solid than Fortinet.

I would rate this solution 7 out of 10.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is used primarily for network and application protection.

The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are ease of use and the simplicity of maintenance and configuration. Additionally, the modularity of the solution is very easy to handle, it is convenient.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for one year and a half.

I have found Fortinet FortiGate Cloud to be highly stable.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is scalable.

We have approximately 1,000 users that use the solution in my organization.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud's initial configuration is very straightforward. After the deployment, it does not take more than a week to have it fully configured and in production.

We needed to do some training to be able to implement Fortinet FortiGate Cloud and after the training, we did the implementation in-house.

We are not measuring the return of investment (ROI) from a specific point of view, because we are using it in the information technology area. We are not selling services through this particular security element, we don't have that measure at this moment, but from our point of view, the ROI is fine. 

The license for Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is annual.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud an eight out of ten.

SD-WAN tunneling is the primary function of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud. It is also used for filtering or browsing, as well as application filtering and blocking of all unwanted applications, viruses, and malware, which is the main goal.

The SD-WAN tunneling is the most valuable. Everything is valuable, especially the SD-WAN tunneling, filtering of email, application, and browsing. Everything has value.

This Fortinet equipment meets our requirements. They offer what we wanted.

The most recent version of others is not yet complete. For the time being, we are content because it is a significant help to us. Durability is something that can be improved.

It is currently durable, but they may be able to improve it further. They can adapt Cisco technology because of its durability.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for seven years.

We are working with versions 100D and 60E.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is reliable. It's been seven years, and everything has been good.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is a scalable solution.

It is being used extensively. It is running 24/7.

We intend to implement and upgrade another model in order to meet a new requirement.

Technical support is very helpful. Support is not a problem because Fortinet is user-friendly to manage, even my technical team can handle it.

On our end, setting up Fortinet FortiGate was easy. It was not complex.

You can deploy the firewall in an hour without difficult requirements. You can set up the firewall in an hour. It's plug-and-play, ready to use.

We collaborated with a vendor in the first deployment, but we handled the subsequent deployment ourselves. Even though we dealt with the first deployment, we contracted for support just in case, but for the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth deployments we did not require vendors.

The cost of equipment and its renewal is valuable. Unlike other firewalls, the cost of Fortinet FortiGate is low, and the functionality is nearly identical, which is why we chose it.

Then there's the cost, which we compared to Palo Alto, Cisco equipment, and others, and we were impressed with the cost, the cost of the renewal, and the cost of the equipment.

The solution is cloud-based. Trend Micro Incorporated is the service provider.

If you are looking for a low-cost security appliance with web filtering, application filtering, and SD-WAN tunneling, I would recommend Fortinet FortiGate Cloud. It's not expensive, and it meets the most basic requirements.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a nine out of ten.

We use this product to manage all of our Fortinet equipment from a single place.

This is a vast system that includes a lot of features.

The most valuable feature is the central management. If you have multiple sites, multiple regions, or if you have a spread of Fortinet equipment around the globe and you want to manage them all in one place, then FortiCloud is the best choice.

The licensing is a little bit confusing and needs to be improved.

The technical support should be more responsive.

I would like to see support for a cloud-based network access control (NAC) platform.

I have been working with Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for approximately five years.

I have not encountered any issues with stability or availability. It seems to always be online.

As a SaaS, you just got in. I'm not sure of how well it scales.

Sometimes, the time that technical support takes to respond is too long. Also, the support technicians are not always helpful. The support is not awful and often it is okay, but sometimes, they are missing information.

Overall, I would rate the support a seven or eight out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup is pretty simple. You just sign up and select your licenses.

The price of FortiGate Cloud is generally cheaper than other similar products.

We evaluated Aruba Cloud but I can't really say which one is better. They have different markets.

This is a product that I usually recommend to people.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We use this product for cyber security. It is our perimeter firewall.

This product is easy to manage and easy to use. It has a simple GUI.

If the SD-WAN technology were included free of cost then it would be more suitable for many users, including us.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for three years.

Stability-wise, this service is the best.

As a perimeter firewall, all of the people connected to the network are going through it. I am not sure of the exact number but it is more than 1,000 people per day. At this point, we have no plan to increase our usage. In the future, if there is an upgraded version, it is something that we will think about. We are innovative and we need to stay up to date, according to the market.

For administration, only myself and one of my colleagues have access to it. Only one or two engineers are needed for maintenance.

We use the on-premises FortiGate Firewall solution in addition to FortiCloud.

We have pfSense available in the company but we have not run it since implementing FortiGate. It is available as a backup in case our FortiGate fails but this has not happened so we haven't used it.

I do not have any hands-on experience with other similar products.

The initial setup is straightforward.

Our implementation strategy was to get the world's best cybersecurity, perimeter firewall. We searched the internet to find this and we selected FortiGate. It took a maximum of one month for the implementation. It was not very challenging.

We implemented this product in-house.

This is not a product that we've seen ROI with because all hardware of this type, as well as software, has end-of-life. It's the maximum age of the product. We try to use it up until that point and then upgrade it.

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. There are no additional costs, other than these.

I have evaluated other solutions such as SonicWall and pfSense. FortiGate is far better than these solutions. The biggest difference is the ease of use.

It is quite easy to use and manage FortiGate Cloud compared to pfSense.  For example, the other systems were a little more complicated and you need to be more technical to use them. With FortiGate, their GUI made it simple to use. Any normal user can use and access it.

In terms of cybersecurity protection, the sandbox features in FortiGate are very good when compared to the other two.

My advice for anybody who is looking into FortiGate Cloud is that if they're looking for the best security at a minimum price then this is a product that I recommend. It is the best firewall in the world. There are others that are good but also quite expensive. If you're in small or medium enterprise business, you should implement FortiGate.

Overall, I am very happy using this product. The vendor is doing a very good job. It is a top-listed product and there is nobody that can beat FortiGate.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
