Robust Protection with Room for UI Improvement
Reviewed on Feb 13, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.

Strong Security but Initial Setup Woes
Reviewed on Feb 11, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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 provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I use FortiAppSec Cloud to secure and monitor our web applications and APIs. It helps us detect vulnerabilities, manage security policies, and maintain visibility into potential threats in our cloud environment. FortiAppSec Cloud centralizes monitoring, improves alerting, and helps us respond to risks more efficiently. One of the best features is its centralized board and control center, which offers a consolidated view of application health, threat activity, and policy status in one place. This allows me to quickly see recent alerts, traffic patterns, and any flagged vulnerabilities from a single screen. The initial setup was pretty easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the personalized UI could be improved. I would like to be able to change the data into a format I like, including the color scheme.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use FortiAppSec Cloud to secure and monitor our web applications and APIs, centralizing monitoring and improving alerting. It solves the problem of requiring multiple tools and manual effort. I appreciate the consolidated view of application health, threat activity, and policy status from a single dashboard.
