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.

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.

We are using Fortinet FortiGate Cloud mainly for a file server at the office, and we have some services that transfer some applications remotely. We are using the firewall to secure the connection to our offices, for the internet connection, and for the applications using the VPN connections.

We have found the most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are the firewall and the VPN connection manager. I am not worried about any cyber attacks, the solution is secure and I receive daily summary reports.

I have used Fortinet FortiGate Cloud within the last 12 months.

The solution has been highly reliable.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is scalable.

I rate the scalability of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a five out of five.

We were using the solution more but since the Coronavirus and other political circumstances in Lebanon, we have downsized the company. We had approximately 25 users using the solution but it has been reduced to only three users.

I have stopped the support contract because I never used it for five years. I never faced any issue that requires support.  Any issues I had it was easy to handle myself. The solution is very reliable.

When I started my job at the company, they had a Juniper firewall, but it was out of warranty and out of contract. While researching, I found the Fortinet FortiGate Cloud, and I read some good reviews about it which were good and this is why I selected it.

For a system administrator, the initial setup is straightforward. I didn't face any issue configuring it. It was so easy. There are videos and tutorials, which helps a lot.

It took one hour for the installation at the cabinet and the wiring, approximately five hours for the full configuration for the VPN tunneling, and subnetting the IP.

I did the implementation and maintenance myself. 

The price of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is affordable. However, lowering the price would be good for the end-users. The cost of the solution was approximately $800 per year. There are some additional features you can add in addition to the regular features.

I would advise others to purchase this solution because it's reliable and it's worth every dollar.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud a nine out of ten.

We use Fortinet FortiGate Cloud as a firewall to connect safely to the internet.

The IPS and firewall function is valuable in Fortinet FortiGate Cloud.

We have found that the antivirus functions are very bad in Fortinet FortiGate Cloud and we don't use the antivirus anymore. Additionally, the FortiADC has bad quality.

The solution could improve by having a Russian interface.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for approximately 10 years.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is a stable solution.

I have found Fortinet FortiGate Cloud to be scalable.

Our organization is not large, we have approximately 15 workers in my organization using it.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud technical support is not bad. The support is mostly very good.

The Fortinet FortiGate Cloud installation was not a problem but we have some local laws which make some restrictions for deployment cloud solutions. A lot of our customers use the premise version, not the cloud. The full deployment is not in one day, because we need to agree on a lot of details with our customers and it takes time. A typical time of the deployment can take approximately two to four weeks.

Unfortunately, we bought this solution for our main customer, and we had some problems deploying it correctly because its features didn't want to work. We have a lot of experience to install FortiGate and Fortinet solutions. However, we have faced some problems with  Fortinet mainly. 

We have a few workers that do the maintenance for the solution.

Fortinet has only an annual payment method. There is no monthly payment option.

They have only one standard license without any additional features.

We plan on using this solution in the future if our customers require it. If not then we will move to other solutions that will fit our client's needs.

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is very useful to save logs. If you do not have hardware equipment, you may use this solution. If you don't want to implement and deploy hardware, this is a good choice.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud an eight out of ten.

We use the product to manage our licensing, monitor our devices, and maintain our security posture.

The solution is easy to use with a convenient interface. We can install it and get it running within a few hours.

When we fully utilize certain functions, the CPU and memory utilization can reach 100% or more, causing the system to become unresponsive during production hours.

There could be a lighter and improved central management system to ensure reliability during peak usage.

We have been working with Fortinet FortiGate Cloud for one year.

The platform is stable. 

The platform is scalable. 

The initial setup process was straightforward. The deployment took approximately one week.

Our implementation strategy involved collecting information, analyzing it, connecting with users, and selecting the best security options for our organization. We then procured the firewall with the help of a vendor.

We have a maintenance license and maintain our security plans and the firewall in-house.

We evaluated Sophos Firewall. In comparison, Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is easy to use. 

We use an ecosystem of related products, including a management solution, which we have configured to manage multiple projects efficiently, enhancing our overall security posture.

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

You can control the solution anywhere from the cloud. 

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud should improve its pricing. Also, its support is slow in Vietnam. 

I have been working with the product for two years. 

I rate Fortinet FortiGate Cloud's stability a nine out of ten. 

I rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten. 

I have worked with Cisco, and it's cheaper. 

Fortinet FortiGate Cloud's installation is easy and can be completed in two hours. 

I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. 

I recommend the solution to others because a hacker or virus can enter the system. I rate it a ten out of ten. 

I mainly use FortiGate Cloud for site-to-site VPNs, user VPNs, SD-WAN, and to help with our void deployments.

Fortigate Cloud rules out a lot of user errors.

FortiGate Cloud's most valuable feature is that it's 100% managed.

FortiGate Cloud could be improved with increased granularity for our control. In the next release, I'd like Fortinet to include integrated endpoint protection and for the user and SSL VPNs to have the same cloud protection.

I've been using FortiGate Cloud for just over a year.

FortiGate Cloud's stability is pretty good.

FortiGate Cloud's scalability is pretty good.

Fortinet's technical support has been pretty good.

The initial setup was really straightforward, and deployment took no longer than half an hour.

We used an in-house team.

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.

FortiGate Cloud was the most affordable option I knew of, but their new pricing is less of a bargain as it has fewer levels. 

I would give FortiGate Cloud a rating of eight out of ten.

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.
