We performed a comparison between DataMiner and Fortinet FortiManager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"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 solution is user-friendly and is readily customizable, which allows us to do control and monitoring in a single stage."
"FortiManager's ability to scale is good."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"It's a scalable product."
"It's very easy to install, and it's easy to discover and communicate with your device."
"Everybody is quite happy with the way that the graphical user interface works."
"The central management feature is the most valuable to me."
"It can scale well."
"I appreciate the ability to connect via SSH through Fortinet FortiManager to the FortiGates I manage. This feature allows me to gather information about the interfaces without having to physically connect to the device. This is a convenient aspect that I find valuable."
"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."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiManager could improve them by adding more portfolio components."
"We have experienced a series of minor bugs that necessitated contacted technical support on several occasions."
"The solution has to be enhanced to manage new switches."
"There are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed, for example, the ZTP."
"The product is not very stable."
"It would be better if it were easier to run a routing protocol. In the next release, I would like them to enhance some features in the GUI rather than CLI or OSP. For example, whenever a customer generates an ISP directly on the firewall, it's complicated to configure the routing protocol."
"It's a difficult process to transfer one interface from one virtual domain to another."
"I prefer configuring rules and the VPN on the standalone device, not on the manager."
