"I pushed templates from FortiManager to our site, and they were deployed successfully."
"The product is a combination of management and monitoring from the same interface."
"Fortinet FortiManager allows you to manage multiple FortiGate devices from a single console, and this is a valuable product feature."

"The setup is very simple."
"We were able to protect our web servers from outside attacks."
"High-performance and detection engines, provide a high rate of exposure of web attacks."
"Built-in security templates, AV integrated, strong threat intelligence."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Fail-Open."
"Both the internal firewall management and the cloud can be managed by a single console."
"Security Fabric integration. This is really a value-added feature as FortiWeb can interact with the rest of the client’s Fortinet pack to provide an intelligent security layer like (FortiSIEM for central log management and correlation, FortiGate, FortiSandbox for malware analysis, etc.)."
"The most valuable features are support and security."
"Auto Learn feature: Makes policy additions or deletions for my customers very simple"
"Having FortiManager work with all of the Fortinet products would be a good improvement."
"The GUI is not ideal."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with other solutions other than Fortinet."
"There are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed, for example, the ZTP."
"Areas for improvement in Fortinet FortiManager are scalability and stability."
"In the next release, FortiManager should include more protection features."
"It's a difficult process to transfer one interface from one virtual domain to another."
"Fortinet is releasing quite a lot of new versions and I would say that most of the versions are not well tested before they're pushed out. Even the new versions sometimes are a bit buggy before it's all correct."
"In my experience, Fortinet FortiWeb could improve the intelligent features to acknowledge whether any threat or incident that's running happened. Then give us the ability to escalate it to layer 2 or layer 3 in the network operations."
"If the price was lower, it would be a bit more attractive, as an option, to the customers."
"Centralized management of multiple devices, and GUI improvement, could reduce the learning curve."
"I had some small problems when I was upgrading firmware. After the upgrade, some of my certificates were deleted."
"Lacks functionalities that are available in other solutions."
"A user interface or dashboard for troubleshooting is needed."
"The dashboards are not that configurable. Application-specific dashboards can be improved. If we have 50 applications, there should be something to see what's happening with these 50 applications. There could be a graph or a consolidated alert page where all alerts are inbuilt. They have other products that I can use, but this feature should be built into FortiWeb."
"The initial setup process could be improved."
