"The reports are good."
"The most valuable feature of Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista is the monitoring of wired and wireless equipment."
"I really like Visual RAF. I use that a lot and then I use the up and down status reports because it'll send me emails and text messages when access points go up or down. That way, I'm aware of what's going on."
"Being able to see the health of the network is most valuable. It is very strong in terms of stability and scalability. Their technical support is also good."
"Network management solution that's very stable and scalable. It has a straightforward installation, fast technical support, and multiple features such as reporting, network health analysis, etc."
"A fully integrated solution."
"Technical support is great. When we have sent urgent tickets and they do reply back within fifteen minutes."
"The integration is quite good."
"I pushed templates from FortiManager to our site, and they were deployed successfully."

"The features are good."
"The solution brings device management into one single pane of glass and is a pretty good product."

"They should add more security features."
"I would like to see a little better reporting, not reporting features, the report maker to be a little better."
"The location of the WiFi connection should be available to all users."
"Adding a reliable and proper heatmap for the access points would make this solution better."
"It needs to be infused with more artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista could improve by adding more cybersecurity features."
"Within the management of some features on FortiManager, specifically the management of user objects used for VPN service, FortiManager is quite weak."
"The SD-WAN solution is difficult to manage on FortiManager because you need to share some configurations on the firewall side. Sometimes you lose all connectivity with the firewall, so it is challenging to apply the default configuration to the SD-WAN solution."
"The price is a bit too high."
"The CLI could be enhanced."
"I prefer configuring rules and the VPN on the standalone device, not on the manager."
"It would be better if it were easier to run a routing protocol. In the next release, I would like them to enhance some features in the GUI rather than CLI or OSP. For example, whenever a customer generates an ISP directly on the firewall, it's complicated to configure the routing protocol."
"The solution has to be enhanced to manage new switches."
"Troubleshooting for Fortinet products is more difficult than competing products like Cisco and Palo Alto."
