Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Reviews

We use the solution for security purposes. We have an ISP. We connect the internet through the firewalls, and then we connect each firewall with the VPN to have on our network. We provide access for the students to the firewall.

It’s a good product overall. I have no problem with the service, with the defense, with management. All aspects of the product are pretty great.

It's user-friendly. I like the dashboard. I like the reports, and I like to download some data to help to analyze what's going on.

I don’t like the licensing. It’s grown too expensive, and we are considering leaving the service over as the price increases.

I would like to see Wi-Fi management inside the firewall.

I’ve used the solution for three years and other general Fortigate products for nine years.

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn’t crash or freeze.

The product can scale as needed.

We have around 3,000 users on the solution.

Technical support is good. We receive support from the ISP.

The initial setup was kind of difficult. We didn't do it. The company, our ISP, installed them and configured them initially.

It took two days to deploy everything.

We handle the maintenance. We establish the policy, and then only if we find something to fix, do we change that. If not, we don't touch that. We have four people capable of maintenance activities, one engineer, and three specialists.

We had our ISP handle the implementation originally.

The way they set up the licensing could be better. I don’t like how it is right now. It’s expensive.

We pay around $19,000 a year and do not pay for extra technical support.

We are looking into something new currently. The decision is not technical at all. I know this equipment is great. I like it. However, the licenses went up in cost for no reason. It's the same model. We are analyzing the Firebox M-Box 349, pfSense, et cetera.

I’m an end-user.

I’m not using the latest version. I’m in the middle of deciding if we will continue to use the product or change it out for something new.

I recommend the solution. I have had a great experience. It's not difficult to learn. The reporting and dashboards are good. I have a model that is medium sized, the FG 300D. However, I reviewed the other models, and they looked great too. It’s really just the price for us.

I’d rate the solution nine 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.

We use the product to provide basic firewalling for IPsec and VM connections.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has good pricing compared to other firewall and security products. It is not inexpensive but provides efficient performance. It has diverse tools, effective user experience, and web design.

They could support Linux clients. The Linux version currently lacks some of the latest features, notably in the IPv6 tool stack, which is available for Windows clients.

We have been using Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for four years. At present, we use the latest version.

I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

The platform needs to be more scalable in certain areas. This area needs improvement. I rate the scalability a six or seven out of ten.

The technical support team is helpful up to a certain level. The first level of support services needs improvement.

Neutral

We also use Juniper SSG as a firewall solution and Cisco for routing and switching.

Most of our customers prefer to deploy the solution on Azure. The deployment and maintenance team consists of around eight technical engineers responsible. The process requires coordination between operators and engineers, with expertise ranging from web sharing to troubleshooting. It takes ten to thirty minutes to complete.

Some client devices, especially proxy solutions, require additional agents for product installation.

All the consulting and deployment charges are included in the product's licenses. There are no additional costs.

I recommend Fortinet FortiGate Cloud to others and rate it an eight out of ten.

We use the solution as a data center product. 

The tool's GUI is user-friendly. 

The only area that requires improvement is the login reports. We aim to integrate it with our local mobile service provider.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud's initial setup is not complex.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud can be deployed quickly. We implemented the solution through an in-house team.

We need to pay a yearly licensing fee for Fortinet FortiGate Cloud. On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud's pricing an eight out of ten.

I would recommend Fortinet FortiGate Cloud to other users.

Overall, I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud an eight out of ten.

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 would rate the product a nine out of ten. 

Our company has a partnership with Fortinet and we use the solution to provide dual authentication and BPM connection services for customers. We also help customers with product upgrades. 

The solution's ecosystem is very robust and includes a strong firewall. 

One firewall box can contain various top-of-the-line services that are packaged together for easy administration. 

The console or demonstration tool could be more user friendly. 

Better marketing is needed to elevate the solution. 

The solution partners with many vendors but some of them do not want to help or share information that would ensure good integrations. 

The EDR could use improvement to be more robust and in line with Darktrace. 

I have been using the solution for seven years. 

The solution is very stable. Some customers have been with the solution for four years with no issues. 

The solution is easy to scale in comparison to other products. 

In general, technical support is okay and issues are handled well 90% of the time.  Support could improve by being more aggressive with ticket follow ups. 

Technical support is good for us but that may be because we have a business relationship with the provider. Some of our customers have reported problems with ticketing. 

The initial setup is easy. Configurations take longer for large companies due to their complex infrastructures. 

We install the solution for customers. We have a highly skilled and experienced technical team so implementations are easy for us. A standard implementation can be done by one or two technicians. A large implementation for a company with at least 500 people can be completed by three technicians. 

Our process begins with an initial planning meeting. We configure the solution in our office and take it to our customers for deployment. Onsite work is easy and only requires a few connections and configurations. The customer sees an easy process because we prep by doing the complex work in our office. 

The solution is mid-priced when compared to other products. Cost is a factor for most customers in Costa Rica and the solution is a less expensive than Palo Alto.

Some customers follow the Gartner Magic Quadrant so they are looking for good products. The three main firewalls are the solution, Cisco, and Palo Alto.

In Costa Rica, the solution's main competitor is Cisco. The solution is easy to use but is constantly compared to Cisco which some customers say is more user friendly. The solution's console or demonstration tool seems to be the main issue with users. 

Palo Alto has a good reputation so some customers purchase it without comparing the price or characteristics of competitor products. The solution has better features than Palo Alto so it is important that its reputation gets elevated in the market.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

Our company uses the solution for site-to-site VPN tunnels. 

We have more than 6,000 users and four administrators who monitor the solution. 

The solution includes a very stable VPN and IPS. 

The solution's documentation is good. 

The solution should include a commit button that allows for review of changes and deployments before they are submitted. Any actions are immediately reflected but it would be better if a review-before-commit option existed like with Palo Alto. 

The solution could enhance its firewall reporting without the need for a sister product such as Analyzer. 

I have been using the solution for four years. 

The solution is very stable. 

The solution is scalable and we intend to expand its use. 

Technical support is very professional and helpful. 

The initial setup is not complex. 

A configuration takes about 30 minutes to restore and deploy.  

Our company utilized the assistance of certified engineers provided by a reseller for implementation. 

The solution requires an annual license but the cost is reasonable in comparison to competitors in the same category. 

Our company has not yet explored other options, but plans to do so in the future. 

Our company has been using the solution for four years and it is very stable and reliable.
