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.

Maharajan S

VSO at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees

Provides data accuracy for availability and policy harmonization

The reporting capabilities are a challenge and could be improved. We have been trying to connect to it from our help desk ticketing system, because the ticketing system manages asset tracking, which has been a bit challenging for us. Otherwise, they give some reports that are okay, but we do not use them much because we work in the dashboard. This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure. I can take the report and show it to them from a compliance point of view. However, the moment we go to a SaaS model, I don't have control of the data and where the data is stored. I don't receive any complaints-based reports from the SaaS model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool continuously improves, adapting to support new vendors and technologies. Importantly, it automates the process, triggering alerts when devices require attention, and eliminating the need for manual intervention."

"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 is 100% stable."

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

"The most valuable feature of FortiMonitor is the overall ability to monitor the health of the environment."

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

"With FortiMonitor, you can get all the logs of the traffic information of the destination or the source."

"Fortinet's customer support is very good."

More FortiMonitor pros

"We use the solution to automatically trigger processes to help us resolve issues. The whole IT process has been automated, such as trying to map all the users and the escalation process. So, if any issue happens, we get an SMS and WhatsApp of the report. If there is a critical issue this has to be sorted out, like the entire data center being down, then there is an alarm."

"The backup, restore, and comparison features are all good."

"Our response time is within 30 minutes for any support. This solution provides alerts immediately, so we are within our SLA, giving efficiency to our support."

"It is a stable product. After the initial configuration, you don't have to tweak it much. All systems of Everest IMS work perfectly."

"Their discovery is very quick and they have a CSV file upload mechanism that allows you to onboard five thousand devices a day."

"The most valuable feature is alerting. We get email alerts when a link is down that tell us which device is having a problem."

"The feature that I like the most and the best part is the customization."

"The role-based dashboards provide data points and charts and topology diagrams in a single window. It's like a spider web, where the application, connectivity, and everything is defined for each user of those applications."

Cons

"Sometimes, during high CPU usage, we cannot access FortiMonitor and must refresh it."

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

"FortiMonitor could improve by having compatibility with other operating systems, such as Linux."

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

"FortiMonitor needs to improve its alert system."

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

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

"The solution's initial setup process is time-consuming."

More FortiMonitor cons

"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure."

"I would like to have the option to add a new device or meet with the next release. Right now, it needs to be done from the backend which results in a heavy reliance on R&D."

"We have enquired if there are any possibilities of monitoring non-IPBS devices."

"Email support is a bit slow. Once you drop an email, it takes time."

"The GUI is in need of improvement. It is not drag-and-drop or easy to use."

"There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product."

"I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk. It would be very helpful if that were integrated into the solution."

"The graphical view of the topology does not show us all of the connectivity in our network, which is something that could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

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

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

"FortiMonitor's price is very high."

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

"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."

"I think that the pricing for this solution is reasonable and varies by number of devices."

"The pricing is reasonable, given the features that they provide."

"We pay for a number of devices on the accounts and since it is on-premises, we pay the maintenance charges for the year."

"The cost model is within our budget. I have less than 180 critical assets, but the moment that I have 1,000 assets, then the license model is totally different. I don't know whether they are capable of handling that kind of a load. They could revisit the licensing model."

"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product. We evaluated five to six products and finally felt Infraon was better because of the pricing model, especially because it was more flexible."

"Licensing is calculated on a per-user basis."
