"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use."
"When devices are having performance issues, it proactively build dashboards which allow us to go and do health checks, and resolve problems before they become an issue."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"The out-of-the-box dashboards are valuable, in terms of being able to visualize performance data in ways that we haven't in the past."
"When we deployed it, right out of the box we were able to stand up Performance Management within two weeks, in our production environment, with full discovery and relevant information, actual information, that we could use in our command center, our 24/7 operations center."
"The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards."
"My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him."
"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."
"From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine."
"I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."
"I like the tool's controller facility."
"The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable."
"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."
"It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe. In some of the other products, usually, you have to go a couple of screens in to see that, but not so much in this product."
"The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"The role-based access controls give us granular control over what features to present to a customer, and the integration into FortiAnalyzer is the most valuable feature."
"Policies could be improved."
"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."
"Since we are out of registered IP space, we are moving to ipv6 and we expect our vendors to move with us, and they have not delivered yet."
"The quantity of views which are tied to specific metric families is too high. Also, the problem is the view doesn't tell you which metric family it uses, so you don't know why you don't see data."
"Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."
"I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability."
"It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics."
"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."
"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."
"There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures."
"It's useful for us but if it had more educational reporting, it would good. It's not necessarily lacking but it's an area that could get better."
"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go."
"Fingerprint access security would improve this solution."
"The solution is more expensive than other products."
"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support."
"I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs."
