Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

FortiAppSec Cloud Points | Each point equals $1 | $1.00 |
Dimensions summary
This listing uses a point-based billing system. You buy FortiAppSec Cloud Points under an annual contract, and each point equals $1. There are no separate tiers or instance sizes to select on Marketplace. Instead, points are drawn down as you consume protection services. Consumption maps to metrics like protected applications, bandwidth, and optional add-ons such as global server load balancing queries and health checks. Each metric converts to points using its own billing unit. Your total cost scales with how many applications you protect and how much traffic and add-on usage you generate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each metric maps to its own billing unit. WAF applications bill per application per hour. WAF bandwidth bills per 5 Mbps average per day, with a 5 Mbps minimum block. Global server load balancing health checks bill per 10 checks per hour. Queries bill per 20 QPS average per day.
Points accrue from several metrics at once. Protected applications and bandwidth usually drive the largest share, since both bill continuously. Optional global server load balancing queries and health checks add points only if you enable those add-ons. All consumption draws from the same point balance and appears together.
Yes. WAF bandwidth uses a minimum chargeable block of 5 Mbps. Even if your average traffic falls under that level, you are billed for the full 5 Mbps block. Usage above the block is measured per 5 Mbps average per day.

What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.

What problems is the product 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

Streamlines Web Security but Needs UI Enhancements
Reviewed on Feb 18, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ease of deployment and the AI-powered automation in FortiAppSec Cloud, which make protecting and accelerating web apps and APIs much more manageable. The initial setup was very straightforward and I appreciate the unified management and reduced complexity it offers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the custom rule tuning tricky at first and the UI/UX lacks intuitiveness. It could use better incident timelines and risk scoring for an overall polish. There's also occasional performance dip or latency under high traffic or complex rules.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use FortiAppSec Cloud to protect web apps and APIs, handling issues like false positives, evolving threats, and security challenges.

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.
