Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."I like the rapid deployment feature. I also like that it's easy to troubleshoot. FortiManager is amazing because we can have a centralized policy. All our devices are integrated, and we can also engage in troubleshooting. We can use it for different deployments. One fantastic feature is the ability to create a version and deploy it immediately."
"Fortinet has the option of synchronization in the cloud, so you can manage everything if you have a cloud account."
"Stability is good within the product."
"It makes management very easy."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiManager is the ease of manageability and policy-pushing functionality."
"There is something called zero-touch provisioning, where you can add a new device without any configuration. You just add it to FortiManager and then forget about it."
"FortiManager's most valuable feature is central management."
"FortiManager's ability to scale is good."
"Centralized management of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM helped us a lot in simplifying and automating the management of network and services."
"Infoblox Secure DNS helped us protect our internal environment by mitigating and stopping attacks through the Internet using DNS protocols and queries."
"Grid high availability technology ensured network reliability, resilient network services, failover, recovery, and seamless maintenance."
"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"DHCP is a basic service, and they've been doing it for years, so it's mature and stable."
"Infoblox offers granularity and advanced DNS protection to mitigate DNS attacks. It's a very secure solution."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is its performance and visibility."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"Wizards could be improved in pushing policies."
"The fabric for integrations or connections could be improved."
"The solution has some bugs."
"FortiManager could improve by making it easier to port larger policy packages to the FortiGate firewalls. Sometimes, there's an issue when we install a big package of policies. If you have a couple thousand policies for FortiGate firewalls, it can take a few minutes to receive a response from the remote devices. It's only an issue when you're dealing with thousands of policies and installing them on a large number of devices."
"The response times from technical support need to be a bit quicker."
"The GUI is not ideal."
"The CLI could be enhanced."
"There are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed, for example, the ZTP."
"The price could be reduced to improve the solution."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"There needs to be more capabilities in order to configure the console itself instead of the user interface dashboard. Configuring the DNS or DHCP through the console instead of the GUI dashboard would be better."
"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
