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.

Significant improvements and valuable features enhance operations with some room for further development
I find the features of OpsRamp valuable, and in particular, I use OpsRamp's multi-tenant architecture for managing large-scale operations. The multi-tenant architecture capability of OpsRamp has helped me streamline and improve the processes within my organization. I have utilized OpsRamp's capability for predictive analytics, and it has been important in fostering collaboration between my IT and development teams under DevOps methodologies, where applicable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Overall, I would recommend FortiMonitor to others."
"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."
"In FortiMonitor, we're linked up with our Netgear, CactusServer, and NOC. It's really valuable because everything's migrating to one dashboard for us system engineers. We can keep an eye on traffic, blocked sites, and the health of our hardware. That last part, about knowing if something's going to fail soon, is super important. It gives us time to sort things out before any big problems happen. As a system engineer, I need to keep tabs on everything – temperature, monitoring systems, and network operations. This data is really handy because it helps me ensure our site runs smoothly, whether it's turning systems on or off. Just last night, there was a system failure, but thanks to real-time monitoring, I quickly identified the problem and got the necessary replacement parts."
"FortiMonitor has a very intuitive dashboard, which makes it particularly helpful for analyzing traffic, alerts, and other information."
"FortiMonitor offers comprehensive monitoring capabilities, allowing me to track network traffic in and out effectively."
"FortiMonitor's dashboard is very informative and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of OpsRamp is the creation of the dashboards of the infrastructure for the CPU memory and SQL servers, and additionally URL monitoring through Selenium scripting and the availability dashboard is useful."
"The technical support is fantastic, and they are fast to respond."
"We find the product's seamless integration with Zendesk to be extremely valuable to our business."
"It is a pretty stable solution."
"The main differences between OpsRamp and other solutions are the artificial intelligence and the ease of implementation and scaling."
"Predictive analysis is the most valuable feature; it's very clear in informing us what issues to expect in the future and when they will occur."
"This is what we have achieved, 90% alert reduction, 70% of manual, routine IT processes now automated, 50% increase in team efficiency and productivity."
"Predictive analysis is a valued feature."
 

Cons

"FortiMonitor could improve by having compatibility with other operating systems, such as Linux."
"FortiMonitor needs to improve its alert system."
"The solution's initial setup process is time-consuming."
"Sometimes, we get corruption when upgrading from firmware to the new generation, causing a lot of issues."
". Enhancements in the dashboard, such as clearer alerting, maintenance window management, software version tracking, and better visualization, would be beneficial."
"There is room for improvement in the FortiMonitor report. It is not ideal for showcasing to tech customers or managers, especially when trying to display high CPU usage from logins within a specific range of months or the most recent month."
"The tool's price in Vietnam is high, making it an area of concern where improvements can be made."
"There are areas for improvement that FortiManager is addressing."
"OpsRamp could improve the critical alerts. We have been receiving some false alerts when monitoring. For example, the alert shows the site is down, but when we try to do manual access to the URL, it's accessible."
"Automation is currently quite complex and needs to be improved."
"An area of improvement would be application monitoring, but OpsRamp is currently working on improving it."
"OpsRamp cannot be scaled for big and large company deployments."
"The product also tends to release updates first and find out there is an issue later."
"Currently, it performs infrastructure monitoring but has limited capability in application monitoring, which needs improvement."
"The user interface of this product requires some changes as it is not inclusively user-friendly. For example, the performance indicators are color-based , which means that they are confusing for anyone who is color blind."
"There is definitely room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a large customer base for Fortinet, and the additional buying power got us really great discounts."
"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."
"The price of FortiMonitor is approximately $200 annually for 225 users. The price is competitive."
"Compared to other solutions, FortiMonitor is a very expensive solution."
"The tool's pricing model in Vietnam is a bit high. I rate the product price as an eight out of ten."
"There are additional costs needed for certain functionality, such as scalability."
"FortiMonitor's price is very high."
"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."
"I don't have any idea about the licensing cost for OpsRamp, but I just know that its pricing is based on the resource count for each tenant."
"There is an annual licensing fee to use OpsRamp."
"OpsRamp is a cost-effective solution."
"You pay it for a year and you'll have full access to the entire platform, not only for monitoring and alerting, you will have access to the entire platform, and whatever technology they develop will be made available to you."
