While we use it as an mirror alternate to AWS WAF for our China accounts, It brings in lot of value ad interms of very less manual effort and almost covers all of our security aspects for both our internal and external apps. Its Signature based detection and Advanced Bot protection defn needs a praise. Synthetic Testing, Fabric Connector options really put forti's Appsec in driver position. Its very easy implementation, to use and configuration and integration with cloud (AWS & Azure market place pfferings) comes in handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FortiAppSec Cloud? Just like any other software, its initial setup initial setup can be a head-scratching because the platform offers an overwhelming number of useful but complex options. Reporting is some what limited which we got to knwo during our training and it pretty much remained the same today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FortiAppSec Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? Since AWS WAF is not allowed in China mainland, we use Forti products to cover our applications in place of this. Due to its general availability in AWS/Azure market place, we sort of setteled on this and it continue to impress us securing our products from almost all attacks. Because of its powerful and multi option features, it covers all ur firewall needs not just for our application but DNS, ELB's nd other API security needs as part of our hybrid security strategy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AI & Data Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 2/11/2026 "Strong Security but Initial Setup Woes" 3.5/5 What do you like best about FortiAppSec Cloud? I think the automatic security and centralized dashboard in FortiAppSec Cloud are pretty good. It's easy to integrate with Fabric, which is helpful, and it's pretty fast and easy to deploy and scale. The automatic security reduces manual rule tuning, and the centralized dashboard improves visibility and response time. The Fabric integration allows automated threat sharing across network and application layers, which improves both security posture and operational efficiency and also improves application latency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FortiAppSec Cloud? The initial configuration and setup for complex rules can be tricky, which is challenging for first-time users. Also, the UI and UX could be improved, particularly with richer incident storytelling like timeline-based views and smarter risk scoring. Sometimes, there's a bit of performance issue during peak traffic, and there's a lack of detailing in incident reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FortiAppSec Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? I use FortiAppSec Cloud to reduce bot traffic, prevent API abuse, and protect from DDoS attacks and credential stuffing. It reduces manual rule management, improves visibility, and enhances security posture and operational efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the FortiAppSec Cloud's clean dashboard, which lets me quickly understand what’s happening without digging through endless logs. I also appreciate that I can log in and immediately see what types of attacks are being blocked, where traffic is coming from, and whether there are any unusual spikes. It's our security shield in front of our applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FortiAppSec Cloud? The UI is clean overall, but sometimes when you're trying to troubleshoot something specific, you have to click around more than you'd like. A more straightforward log search or clearer explanations inside the dashboard would help. The UI is not customizable as well. I would love to see that option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FortiAppSec Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? I use FortiAppSec Cloud as a security shield for our web apps and APIs, providing deep visibility into traffic, reducing bot activity, preventing web attacks, and simplifying security reporting.

Extremely Simple and Fast Deployment 2.Ease of Integration 3.Ease of Use 4.Cost-effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FortiAppSec Cloud? 1. Less Flexibility than Competitors like F5, Imperva 2.Feature Depth Compared to Specialized WAFs 3.Potential for Performance Latency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FortiAppSec Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? FortiAppSec addresses two critical challenges in my web application: the expanding, invisible API attack surface and the complexity of traditional WAF management. It solves the visibility issue by automatically discovering and cataloging all API endpoints through analysis of live traffic, providing complete command over all exposed assets. Furthermore, it simplifies operations by deploying as a cloud service in minutes via a simple DNS change, which significantly reduces operational overhead and allows teams to focus on strategy rather than continuous, complex WAF tuning.
