Easy to manage, good interface, and simple to use
Pros and Cons
  • "The best feature of Fortinet FortiManager is its ease of use. It is easy to manage the firewall from Fortinet FortiManager. Additionally, the interface is very good."
  • "The FortiManager is more complex and they can make it easier to use the VPN manager. All other features are okay. However, the VPN manager is more difficult and can cause some issues in the environment, if you do not have the experience to use it."

What is our primary use case?

I have used the FortiManager to implement and manage the Fortigate solution in one company that we implemented Fortinet. We use the FortiManager to manage all the Fortigates, firewalls, projects, and old projects.

What is most valuable?

The best feature of Fortinet FortiManager is its ease of use. It is easy to manage the firewall from Fortinet FortiManager. Additionally, the interface is very good.

What needs improvement?

The FortiManager is more complex and they can make it easier to use the VPN manager. All other features are okay. However, the VPN manager is more difficult and can cause some issues in the environment, if you do not have the experience to use it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I used Fortinet FortiManager within the last 12 months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good.

The scalability of Fortinet FortiManager is very good.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy.

What about the implementation team?

The amount of technicians you would need for the implementation of Fortinet FortiManager depends on the environment. If you have many firewalls managed by FortiManager, you need more people. However, one person can manage the FortiManager, but you have the Fortigate environment to manage, you need more people, for example approximately four for the environment.

What other advice do I have?

I encourage the use of this solution. It is very good because they make it easy to manage the environment.

I rate Fortinet FortiManager a nine out of ten.
