Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Data Miner allows you to take control. It has an API to talk to different products, including drivers to talk to the APIs of third-party products. You can control it from the screen."
"The most valuable feature of DataMiner is its comprehensiveness. It provides an open driver that allows you to customize and program each aspect of the system. Additionally, there are many separate modules available that can be used to enhance the system's capabilities beyond just monitoring, allowing you to manage your entire workflow. This is a valuable feature that makes troubleshooting easier and helps to optimize the use of the system."
"The solution is user-friendly and is readily customizable, which allows us to do control and monitoring in a single stage."
"I like the rapid deployment feature. I also like that it's easy to troubleshoot. FortiManager is amazing because we can have a centralized policy. All our devices are integrated, and we can also engage in troubleshooting. We can use it for different deployments. One fantastic feature is the ability to create a version and deploy it immediately."
"FortiManager's most valuable feature is central management."
"It is easy to deploy to licenses."
"Without FortiManager, you cannot manage a complex environment across several sites with multiple firewalls."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"It is easy to manage a huge number of devices with FortiManager."
"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."
"Fortinet has the option of synchronization in the cloud, so you can manage everything if you have a cloud account."
"We would like to have more products supported by the drivers because there are so many products out there. If DataMiner has not built the drivers to support them we can not control them, we can only see them based on SNMP. If more drivers are included, it won't cost us if we have new products."
"I am looking forward to the company continuing to improve its solution and incorporate new technologies. Specifically, I hope that they will allow their cloud database environment to host services, rather than requiring the use of on-premises digital or physical servers. The company is moving in this direction, but I am still waiting for this capability to be implemented."
"The areas that need improvement are implemenation and support. In terms of implementation, it mainly needs clear documentation."
"If you have more than one FortiMail device, you can't manage it then with FortiManager on FortiGate."
"The CLI could be enhanced."
"The SD-WAN solution is difficult to manage on FortiManager because you need to share some configurations on the firewall side. Sometimes you lose all connectivity with the firewall, so it is challenging to apply the default configuration to the SD-WAN solution."
"Troubleshooting for Fortinet products is more difficult than competing products like Cisco and Palo Alto."
"The reporting details have room for improvement."
"The product is not very stable."
"The solution has some bugs."
