Powerful Automated Security, but Setup and Reporting Could Improve
Reviewed on Oct 29, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
FortiAppSec Cloud provides impressive automated protection by leveraging advanced AI to ensure strong web application security. It is highly effective at detecting and mitigating threats autonomously, which reduces the need for constant manual intervention. The deployment process is straightforward, and the platform integrates smoothly with existing cloud environments, making security management both simple and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial configuration can be somewhat complex, particularly for those setting it up for the first time. This is especially true when it comes to fine-tuning custom security policies, which may require additional effort. Additionally, although the dashboards provide useful information, the reporting features lack flexibility. More customizable options would be helpful for users who need detailed analytics or have specific compliance requirements.

What problems is the product 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.
