Mirza Hussain

Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Has required frequent manual adjustments due to screen resolution but supports simple automation with minimal effort

I would prefer more UFT because it has VB scripting capabilities. While Eggplant Test also has this feature, it's not very user-friendly. I prefer the features of UFT compared to Eggplant Test. When needing to do quick automation, I would prefer Eggplant Test, but otherwise, I would always choose UFT. It depends on the complexity of the tasks. For big problems and complex automation tasks, I would prefer UFT because it has more flexibility and is more effective. With Eggplant Test, if you have very low complexity automation, such as simple click sequences and validation, then it would be preferable; with more complexity, I would not recommend Eggplant Test.

Network Engineer III at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Managing diverse networks with detailed alerts enhances device oversight

FortiManager is very helpful in managing our networks. We use it to manage 20 farms and various networks with hundreds of devices. The version we are using provides more detail than the older dashboard. We appreciate the alerting capabilities, which are integrated with SolarWinds to notify our team via SMS.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution is a stable one."

"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."

"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."

"Eggplant Test is valuable due to its OCR technology, which is independent of underlying technologies and can identify applications based on labels such as 'username' and 'password'."

"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."

"Good text reading ability."

"It provides very strong cross-platform support."

More Eggplant Test pros

"FortiMonitor has a very intuitive dashboard, which makes it particularly helpful for analyzing traffic, alerts, and other information."

"The most valuable feature of FortiMonitor is user monitoring. We are able to see if the user is following the policy or not from their system. Additionally, the solution integrates well with Fortinet FortiGate and has centralized management."

"FortiMonitor's dashboard is very informative and user-friendly."

"Overall, I would recommend FortiMonitor to others."

"FortiMonitor is 100% stable."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is what the devices are used for. We have big backups for our Cradlepoint solutions, but FortiMonitor is a great routing device and we love working with them."

"FortiMonitor is really easy to use for monitoring the logs on FortiGate...It is a stable product."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

More FortiMonitor pros

Cons

"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."

"Its performance and stability could be better."

"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."

"The solution would crash from time to time."

"It has low productivity."

"There was no free trial in it."

"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."

"Eggplant Test is not a stable solution at all in my experience."

More Eggplant Test cons

"FortiMonitor could be improved by making it more convenient for smaller workloads, such as when configuring a few branches."

". Enhancements in the dashboard, such as clearer alerting, maintenance window management, software version tracking, and better visualization, would be beneficial."

"Sometimes, we get corruption when upgrading from firmware to the new generation, causing a lot of issues."

"FortiMonitor's monitoring could be much better. It should be like, in Palo Alto."

"The tool's price in Vietnam is high, making it an area of concern where improvements can be made."

"FortiMonitor could be improved by making it more convenient for smaller workloads, such as when configuring a few branches."

"There are no AI features in FortiMonitor, which might be an area for enhancement."

"We use FortiToken, and it's a pain to use because you have to send things through your phone and then confirm by email. Only after this can you log in. It's dual-factor authentication. I wish that I could just log in or bring up a dashboard where I could log in from."

More FortiMonitor cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."

"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."

"It probably has a yearly license."

"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."

"FortiMonitor's price is very high."

"Compared to other solutions, FortiMonitor is a very expensive solution."

"There are additional costs needed for certain functionality, such as scalability."

"On a scale from one to ten, I rate the pricing a nine since it is a good solution that is available at a cheap price."

"We have a large customer base for Fortinet, and the additional buying power got us really great discounts."

"In terms of licensing, while it may not be the most expensive option on the market, it's relatively cost-effective. You can obtain licenses at a lower cost, with the calculation being straightforward. For example, if you onboard around 5,000 devices, you'll need approximately 5,000 licenses, as each device typically counts as one license."

"The tool's pricing model in Vietnam is a bit high. I rate the product price as an eight out of ten."

"The price of FortiMonitor is approximately $200 annually for 225 users. The price is competitive."
