Cons
"The price is a bit too high.""When we have a specific configuration pushed it does take some time to be deployed on the actual firewall.""Their EDR products could be better. They need to dedicate more R&D to that area.""The compatibility with legacy products should be better. It would also be nice if the software could manage other devices from Fortinet and third parties.""Can be difficult to configure.""Configuring Fortinet without internet access is challenging.""The solution should be more open to other products.""Setting up FortiManager can be complex because it involves changes from other devices and a lot of configuration."

More Fortinet FortiManager Cons →

"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version.""They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on.""There needs to be more capabilities in order to configure the console itself instead of the user interface dashboard. Configuring the DNS or DHCP through the console instead of the GUI dashboard would be better.""The solution is expensive.""Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio.""The solution's logging could be improved.""I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved.""There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
