"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."
"It is the gathering of the whole performance data in our environment and our network environment, for us and our customers."
"It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you."
"There is a good amount of vendor certification which comes with the product. That's all factory-loaded, no need to load any custom-made files. Most of the metrics are calibrated and captured from the devices based on the defaults available from vendor certification."
"What is most useful is visibility."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."
"Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."
"I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."
"The role-based access controls give us granular control over what features to present to a customer, and the integration into FortiAnalyzer is the most valuable feature."
"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is application control."
"From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine."
"It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe. In some of the other products, usually, you have to go a couple of screens in to see that, but not so much in this product."
"The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"The documentation has been satisfactory."
"For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth."
"Even though we can see when something is not available, it would also be it would be nice if some sort of alerting took place to that you could know immediately if something went down."
"The quantity of views which are tied to specific metric families is too high. Also, the problem is the view doesn't tell you which metric family it uses, so you don't know why you don't see data."
"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."
"Install is done as root, which is a security no-no, and the database IO requirements were not stated correctly, which lead to a year of instability."
"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."
"We experience disconnections between the solutions own components."
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"It's useful for us but if it had more educational reporting, it would good. It's not necessarily lacking but it's an area that could get better."
"I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs."
"The solution is more expensive than other products."
"Fingerprint access security would improve this solution."
"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support."
"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go."
"There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures."
"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."
