"The fault management is perfect."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has valuable firewall, SSL VPN, and web filtering features."
"The security features, for example, URL filtering, AMP, and advanced threat protection, are very valuable."
"The intel we get from Fortinet is its most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are ease of use and the simplicity of maintenance and configuration. Additionally, the modularity of the solution is very easy to handle, it is convenient."
"This is a vast system that includes a lot of features."
"This product is easy to manage and easy to use."
"We use the solution as a firewall."
"It's quite easy to use, and it's easy to find the necessary information from the web."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"The Linux version currently lacks some of the latest features, notably in the IPv6 tool stack, which is available for Windows clients."
"I would like to see a SIEM bundled together with this because customers are looking into better reporting and more proactive security solutions."
"It would be better for us if Fortinet provided a private cloud, and they should provide more security on the public cloud. There are some minor issues with security with the public cloud. For example, anyone with a link can access the public cloud."
"Things are moving increasingly towards hardware agnostic appliances, an area in which I would like Fortinet to be more focused and fast moving with that product line."
"The solution should allow users to keep the data for longer than the current periods. I can't get any historic data after more than a month. I would like to be able to, after a year, look for trends from the past 12 months. It would make things much easier."
"We've not seen any areas for improvement."
"Having a built-in SOC solution like an XDR platform within the solution would be convenient for customers."
"The SSL visibility could be better."
