Description
This article describes the differences between FortiCloud and FortiGate Cloud.

When it was first introduced, 'FortiGate Cloud' was named 'FortiCloud'. Some older documentation and URLs still use 'FortiCloud' to refer to this FortiGate logging and central management feature.
The 'FortiCloud' name has since be re-purposed to refer to the FortiCare account, as well as the single-sign-on account for multiple Fortinet cloud services. It no longer refers to 'FortiGate Cloud'. However, the FortiCloud account credential can be used as a single-sign-on account to access FortiGate cloud, see 'Unified Login for FortiCare and FortiGate Cloud'.

- Dashboard widget.
- Security Fabric Settings.
- Log & Report -> Log Settings.
- Log & Report -> FortiCloud Reports.
Following is an example of FortiGate Cloud in the FortiOS 6.2 GUI:
