Implementation supports efficient network management but requires improvement in device handling capacity

The strong points of ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are many, but I think my favorite feature focuses on the VPN traffic. If I want to manage my policy and optimize it, I find that ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer supports many vendors after Firewall. One aspect I want to improve in ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer is the maximum number of firewalls that can be managed. I learned from the internal support team that one prop server only supports three to five firewalls. I think one prop server can manage a maximum of five because if I have many devices here, the performance of the prop would be very high, considering CPU and RAM usage.

Good support, nice interface, and simple to upgrade

PDF format is not available for Alert Composer. There are file attachment or body content output options. The other issue is that the range object can be displayed in the rule viewer section. If we know the range object, we provide imaging, but if we do not know the range object, there is no imaging. It also allows adding range object rules when performing server cloning. In general, however, we have made successful progress since the POC process.
