Find out what your peers are saying about AlgoSec, Tufin, Palo Alto Networks and others in Firewall Security Management."It's easy to use."
"The solution offers good network performance and efficiency."
"We use the solution as a firewall."
"The IPS and firewall function is valuable in Fortinet FortiGate Cloud."
"The most valuable FortiGate Cloud feature is logging. It's there seven days a week, and there is no hard limit on logs or size restrictions. This much capacity will show up for that seven days. FortiGate Cloud offers many other valuable features like Fortinet Secure Gateway, SASE, and the Fortinet Security Fabric."
"The ability to manage everything from the cloud is going to be the most valuable by far with this solution."
"This product is easy to manage and easy to use."
"The security features, for example, URL filtering, AMP, and advanced threat protection, are very valuable."
"It's very easy to automate functions on the cloud with HashiCorp Terraform. The commands are easy as well."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"With Terraform, you don't need to understand the console of your cloud providers. You only need to understand how Terraform works, and you manage your infrastructure tools in Terraform."
"The most valuable feature is the solution does not need installation."
"The solution helps us save a lot of costs."
"The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Terraform is the custom modules."
"We frequently need to create and replicate infrastructure from various environments like dev and QA. The QA resources need to be identical to those in the dev environment. With a Terraform script, we can replicate the same 50 in the dev environment to the testing environment. This is tedious to do manually, and Terraform speeds up the process."
"However, the absence of certain features like CLI is a drawback."
"Having a built-in SOC solution like an XDR platform within the solution would be convenient for customers."
"GUI access could be improved. It should be simpler to access everything from the portal. Once we log in to the portal, we should be able to access all the Fortinet Cloud options."
"I recommend that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud improve their rules for configuration with each other."
"We do find we get a bit of a lag."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud could improve the dashboards."
"Reporting is an area that can be enhanced."
"The solution’s pricing and stability could be improved."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The state locking functionality can be improved. In certain situations, we have to force-unlock the state, which sometimes does not work. When that happens, we have to manually go to the state backend and remove that particular state, which is kind of a cumbersome process. It should also have more functions, more expressions, and support for more products."
"HashiCorp Terraform could improve the integration with the VCloud Director. When we manage the VCloud Director we end up wasting our time when creating virtual machines. HashiCorp Terraform knows about these issues and I think there might be a workaround but they should incorporate the fix in an upcoming release."
"The solution is missing a lot of properties for specific resources."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"Terraform could create more examples in the documentation."
"HashiCorp Terraform state management could be improved to be used efficiently with multi-users."
"Some areas where Terraform could improve would be challenges in managing sensitive information, especially when dealing with secret files or credentials."
