Greate Centralized Management Platform on the Fortinet Cloud

FortiGate Cloud is a helpful tool to manage FortiGate at multiple sites.
FortiGate Cloud is a Cloud-based SaaS and does not require maintenance or management (like dedicated appliance); the IT's admin only focuses on how to manage FortiGate with FortiGate Cloud.
FortiGate Cloud provides many features to manage FortiGate (such as management, reporting and log analytics).

Centralized Log Retention for FortiGate at Multiple Sites.
Effective and easy to set up
Provides as good if not better coverage as our on premise NGFW. Easy to deploy and set up.
Unique Master-Slave sync in HA mode as well as API calls to the AWS infrastructure which means we don't need to run a lambda to supervise the state of the master and change the routing. The API calls take care of this.
Good
Nice and tried with TRANSIT VPC, Good performance. Only Issues with Remote VPN part. CLI part is good, will get more options there.
Great firewall, On-Demand not available for GovCloud ?!
These are great firewalls, they work great for VPC Transit designs. Unavailable for Gov-Cloud as an On-Demand as of August 2018
