Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."Data Miner allows you to take control. It has an API to talk to different products, including drivers to talk to the APIs of third-party products. You can control it from the screen."
"The solution is user-friendly and is readily customizable, which allows us to do control and monitoring in a single stage."
"The most valuable feature of DataMiner is its comprehensiveness. It provides an open driver that allows you to customize and program each aspect of the system. Additionally, there are many separate modules available that can be used to enhance the system's capabilities beyond just monitoring, allowing you to manage your entire workflow. This is a valuable feature that makes troubleshooting easier and helps to optimize the use of the system."
"Fortinet has the option of synchronization in the cloud, so you can manage everything if you have a cloud account."
"FortiManager's most valuable feature is central management."
"Without FortiManager, you cannot manage a complex environment across several sites with multiple firewalls."
"The setup is very simple."
"The best feature of Fortinet FortiManager is its ease of use. It is easy to manage the firewall from Fortinet FortiManager. Additionally, the interface is very good."
"I pushed templates from FortiManager to our site, and they were deployed successfully."
"The user interface, along with user-friendly planning features, makes it straightforward to configure desired settings."
"It is easy to manage a huge number of devices with FortiManager."
"We would like to have more products supported by the drivers because there are so many products out there. If DataMiner has not built the drivers to support them we can not control them, we can only see them based on SNMP. If more drivers are included, it won't cost us if we have new products."
"I am looking forward to the company continuing to improve its solution and incorporate new technologies. Specifically, I hope that they will allow their cloud database environment to host services, rather than requiring the use of on-premises digital or physical servers. The company is moving in this direction, but I am still waiting for this capability to be implemented."
"The areas that need improvement are implemenation and support. In terms of implementation, it mainly needs clear documentation."
"I would like to be able to manage other products such as Endpoint and FortiAnalyzer through FortiManager. That is, the integration with other solutions needs to be improved."
"When I started, it was a bit difficult, however, now it's okay. It can be a bit complex for basic users."
"The fabric for integrations or connections could be improved."
"Having FortiManager work with all of the Fortinet products would be a good improvement."
"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 response times from technical support need to be a bit quicker."
"It's a difficult process to transfer one interface from one virtual domain to another."
