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 most valuable feature is central management."
"Central management system for Fortinet devices that's simple, scalable, and stable, with a straightforward setup."
"Fortinet FortiManager allows a full view of all the devices on the network from one location."
"The user interface, along with user-friendly planning features, makes it straightforward to configure desired settings."
"A fully integrated solution."
"Fortinet has the option of synchronization in the cloud, so you can manage everything if you have a cloud account."
"FortiManager's ability to scale is good."
"I pushed templates from FortiManager to our site, and they were deployed successfully."
"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."
"I would like to be able to manage other products such as Endpoint and FortiAnalyzer through FortiManager. That is, the integration with other solutions needs to be improved."
"The FortiManager is more complex and they can make it easier to use the VPN manager. All other features are okay. However, the VPN manager is more difficult and can cause some issues in the environment, if you do not have the experience to use it."
"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."
"I prefer configuring rules and the VPN on the standalone device, not on the manager."
"Their EDR products could be better. They need to dedicate more R&D to that area."
"FortiManager could be more user-friendly."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with other solutions other than Fortinet."
"For the IPSEC tunnels, Fortimanager doesn't have all of the features that are available on Fortigate."
