Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The search options on Cisco Stealthwatch are the most valuable. You can get very granular with it, down to the kilobits or the seconds if you want. The product supports any time frame that you need, so that is nice."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The most valuable feature we got out of Stealthwatch is to be able to, while troubleshooting, go deep into one of our interfaces and verify what the bandwidth is and if there's any activity there that's causing problems."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"The fact that it can identify down to an IP address of a system that is causing problems, or potentially causing problems, is very valuable."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"It does change the way we troubleshoot and it is relatively easy to use once you learn it. I would recommend it to someone considering it."
"It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and I have more visibility over my network that shows which users are connected to the firewalls, which users are connected to the network, and what they're accessing."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"Fortinet FortiClient offers a vulnerability test feature, allowing us to monitor end-user devices. This includes ensuring necessary updates, such as Windows updates, are not overlooked."
"Secure and easy connect is the most valuable feature. It is a reliable solution, and it works."
"The service is centralized."
"The ability to reroute traffic from the user, connecting you to the internet rather than passing through our network area, is very useful."
"FortiClient is very easy, useful, and practical."
"This is a solid and stable solution."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."

"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"We've had problems with element licensing costs so scalability is a concern."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the compatibility with mobile applications that are allowed and sometimes they do not respond. However, Microsoft Windows applications are very good."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"FortiClient is not great in Linux."
"Technical support is awful. Their online response time is not prompt. They should not respond after four or five days. Their support guys are not competent enough. Small issues are taking time."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"I would like to see endpoint detection and response included."
