We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is the gathering of the whole performance data in our environment and our network environment, for us and our customers.""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 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 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.""When we deployed it, right out of the box we were able to stand up Performance Management within two weeks, in our production environment, with full discovery and relevant information, actual information, that we could use in our command center, our 24/7 operations center.""The most valuable feature of DX Performance Management is the quick way we can collect data without putting much effort. They have a lot of customization and features with the solution internally and out of the box. We can discover the device, and start collecting information. For example, if the device is available, we can receive the CPU and memory utilization, and the interface optimization is simple and very fast to implement.""One of the most valuable features is the ease of use.""Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."

"The documentation has been satisfactory.""I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities.""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.""The most valuable feature of this solution is application control.""I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details.""The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers.""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."

Cons
"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets.""Product has issue collecting IP SLA data.""For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth.""I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability.""It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers.""There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine.""Since we are out of registered IP space, we are moving to ipv6 and we expect our vendors to move with us, and they have not delivered yet.""Policies could be improved."

"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security.""The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires.""The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity.""If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support.""There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures.""Fingerprint access security would improve this solution.""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.""So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go."

  • "They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."
  • "I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
  • "We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually.

The price overall is affordable."
  • "The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."
