Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."Fortinet FortiManager allows you to manage multiple FortiGate devices from a single console, and this is a valuable product feature."
"FortiManager's most valuable feature is central management."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The solution brings device management into one single pane of glass and is a pretty good product."
"Technical support is great. When we have sent urgent tickets and they do reply back within fifteen minutes."
"I like the rapid deployment feature. I also like that it's easy to troubleshoot. FortiManager is amazing because we can have a centralized policy. All our devices are integrated, and we can also engage in troubleshooting. We can use it for different deployments. One fantastic feature is the ability to create a version and deploy it immediately."
"FortiManager enables us to set unified firewall policies from one centralized dashboard, reducing human error. If you do not have a central dashboard, there's a chance you might set a policy on one firewall and forget to do it for another."
"The integration is quite good."
"The main advantages with Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the dashboards, the reporting system, and they have the GUI interface."
"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection allows us to manage our overall addresses and IT in one location. Many companies are using this solution, it is very popular."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is its performance and visibility."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution helps to identify and mitigate DNS attacks."
"Areas for improvement in Fortinet FortiManager are scalability and stability."
"FortiManager could be more user-friendly."
"Wizards could be improved in pushing policies."
"When we have a specific configuration pushed it does take some time to be deployed on the actual firewall."
"It requires a lot of resources. This is the main challenge."
"It would be better if it were easier to run a routing protocol. In the next release, I would like them to enhance some features in the GUI rather than CLI or OSP. For example, whenever a customer generates an ISP directly on the firewall, it's complicated to configure the routing protocol."
"When I started, it was a bit difficult, however, now it's okay. It can be a bit complex for basic users."
"Their EDR products could be better. They need to dedicate more R&D to that area."
"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"The price could be reduced to improve the solution."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"The service monitoring information could be simplified of this appliance and the information displayed on the dashboards could be improved. I have not found one dashboard to be perfect. For example, in Splunk, I can create a dashboard in Grafana. However, in Grafana, it takes a very long time to create them. There should be another API to do it better."
