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."
"The solution has the best stability for application control and inspections."
"It is easy to manage a huge number of devices with FortiManager."
"The most valuable features are the centralized management of the firewalls."
"FortiManager's ability to scale is good."
"The central management feature is the most valuable to me."
"The capability of centralized management is valuable. We can configure all firewall boxes with the same configuration."
"The reports feature is excellent."
"The product is a combination of management and monitoring from the same interface."
"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 solution could improve by having better integration with other solutions other than Fortinet."
"I didn't like the connectivity with FortiManager and FortiSwitch, which was buggy and annoying and had fewer features."
"Fortinet is releasing quite a lot of new versions and I would say that most of the versions are not well tested before they're pushed out. Even the new versions sometimes are a bit buggy before it's all correct."
"We have experienced a series of minor bugs that necessitated contacted technical support on several occasions."
"Its licensing model should be improved."
"The price is a bit too high."
"The GUI could be updated. It's not as good as it could be and is something the solution should improve in an upcoming release."
"The interface could be improved. It is split up into different areas, which makes it more difficult to navigate and get the right section of the correct file. The solution is quite expensive, so it would not be suitable for small to medium sized organizations."
