Monitoring capabilities keep operations running smoothly and alerts enhance proactive system management

We use FortiMonitor to monitor the infrastructure of our customers. We check on what is happening with their operations, monitor bandwidth, ensure configurations are appropriate for the customer, and identify if anything is going wrong The most valuable features of FortiMonitor are its redundancy…

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices

One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The solution helps to see client infrastructure. It has many boxes and blinks green or red when the station goes up or down. We have different domains for the device groups that we monitor."

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

"Fortinet's customer support is very good."

"It provides the best firewall features."

"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."

"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."

More FortiMonitor pros

"Key features for us are custom reporting, 95th Percentile, and trend lines."

"I like the fact that I can aggregate multiple interfaces into a single graph. It allows me to quickly the summary of traffic for multiple devices which is helpful."

"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."

"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."

"The most important feature for us is the interface statistics, because our customer normally asks us for bandwidth utilization reports. Statseeker has very descriptive transmit and receive information."

"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."

"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."

"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."

More Statseeker pros

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"FortiMonitor needs to improve its alert system."

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

More FortiMonitor cons

"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."

"With Statseeker I'd like to see some flow, i.e. what's tuning-up the network. The trend I like is managing the traffic load by going to the cloud."

"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."

"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."

"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."

"It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open."

"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."

"Configuration management: In configuration management it would be helpful if it would backup configuration files (running and start-up configuration) for devices. (Not sure if this is already available in the latest version)."

More Statseeker cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."

"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."

"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."

"We now feel the pricing is a good value. Previously we had a just a normal license but now we've got an Enterprise license. Since the Enterprise, it's been a lot better value. We did think it was pretty expensive before, but with the Enterprise license it's almost less than half that price. If you have a number of accounts within the organization that use Statseeker, I would suggest get the Enterprise license."

"Up until we actually talked to Statseeker, and Statseeker came and gave us an enterprise licensing model for multiple accounts, I would have said the pricing was not good value. The fact they've come to the party now and given us a very good discount, I would say it's probably about right, the pricing they're giving us now. But the retail pricing, if I went out and, as a separate company, and asked for pricing for one account, I probably would say their retail pricing is not competitive. The fact that they've given us a discount now because we have multiple servers across multiple accounts, I would say that pricing is about right, but not their retail pricing. It's too expensive."

"Statseeker is pretty cheap."

"It's probably $5K a year for the license."

"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
