![]() We now need to have hundreds of conversations with clients about why they need new licenses so that we can centrally manage their gear. Either way the prices will go up for our clients eventually. Either we eat this, or the cost is passed directly to the clients. Now Fortinet is asking its partners to purchase FortiCloud licenses for every single device under their management in order to take care of their clients. If any one of them wanted more (which was typically for compliance) then we would sell the client the upgraded license. All our clients have 7-days rolling logs, configs backed up, etc. We purchased the FortiCloud multi-tenant license which allows for groups and that was perfect for us, each client is in their own group. Plus FortiManager is a useability nightmare for entry level techs - our team struggled with it. We do standardize a lot, but FortiManager got in the way when we had so many subtle difference between clients. For us, every single device is different because every device is another client. We originally had FortiManager but found that it was better built for enterprises where all the devices had common settings. Forticloud has been a critical part of our business as it allows us to manage all client devices easily. We're a Fortinet partner with a few hundred devices in our tenant. ![]() The base edition edition of FortiCloud no longer allows configuration management, config backups, scripts, and removed all but one report. Only FortiGate and FortiProxy devices with subscription are eligible for this action. Today our team attempted to push a script to a whole bunch of Fortigates - a common task for us. ![]() I thought it was really crummy, but figured we could live without a few reports. For a few months I had seen the warnings that some reports would no longer be available on the base version of Fortigate Cloud (which I'll just call FortiCloud from now on).
