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.
