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 this solution is application control.""The documentation has been satisfactory.""I like the tool's controller facility.""The role-based access controls give us granular control over what features to present to a customer, and the integration into FortiAnalyzer is the most valuable feature.""It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe. In some of the other products, usually, you have to go a couple of screens in to see that, but not so much in this product.""I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities.""The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable.""I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."

"The platform has good stability.""We do not have any issues stability-wise.""Topology creation is the most valuable feature.""If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes.""Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults.""You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration.""Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good.""Most valuable function would have to the internal causal engine and its root cause analyzer which keep us updated on critical errors and incidents in our network environment."

Cons
"Fingerprint access security would improve this solution.""If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support.""The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires.""So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go.""The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity.""I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs.""There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures.""Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."

More Fortinet FortiPortal Cons →

"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports.""The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly.""They should add AI options in the product's next release.""The solution should integrate with NAC servers.""As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way.""The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement.""We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations.""Only to improve the GUI."
