Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom and others in DX NetOps."There is another component of the tool called Network Flow Analysis. It gives us the ability to troubleshoot issues which do not appear right away."
"It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you."
"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."
"The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice."
"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."
"You can have thousands of devices inside and hundreds of thousands of interphases without a problem."
"The integration to the other products that we use: NFA, we use ADA, we use Spectrum; and CAPM integrates all those into a single pane of glass."
"The ability to very quickly and graphically navigate around, being able to zoom in to a timeframe, apply it to all the other panels... are all very intuitive."
"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."
"The documentation has been satisfactory."
"I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is application control."
"The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable."
"From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine."
"I like the tool's controller facility."
"We experience disconnections between the solutions own components."
"Some of the individual report views, the way some of the columns sort, there's room for improvement in giving us more flexibility in being able to sort reports based, for example, on what columns the metrics fall under."
"Even though we can see when something is not available, it would also be it would be nice if some sort of alerting took place to that you could know immediately if something went down."
"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"Install is done as root, which is a security no-no, and the database IO requirements were not stated correctly, which lead to a year of instability."
"Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."
"Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."
"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."
"The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires."
"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."
"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support."
"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."
"The solution is more expensive than other products."
"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."
