"The most valuable features are management and integration."
"The IPS and firewall function is valuable in Fortinet FortiGate Cloud."

"It is currently durable, but they may be able to improve it further. They can adapt Cisco technology because of its durability."
"They're constantly doing maintenance and there are unexpected downtimes for the cloud interface."
