Find out what your peers are saying about AlgoSec, Tufin, Palo Alto Networks and others in Firewall Security Management."The most valuable feature of this solution is application control."
"The role-based access controls give us granular control over what features to present to a customer, and the integration into FortiAnalyzer is the most valuable feature."
"The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable."
"The documentation has been satisfactory."
"I like the tool's controller facility."
"I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."
"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."
"I have found the backup extremely useful in my use cases."
"It has helped improve the quality of service to users. It's made sure that we don't have servers that are over-subscribed with storage that starts to end up being at the minimalist points."
"The reporting is a fantastic tool. It's a great tool for generating reports on different things, and for historically looking at performance metrics to help solve performance problems in an application stack."
"It has also definitely reduced the time to troubleshoot issues. The fact that it gives us that single pane of glass to look for stuff, that's the first stop whenever we start troubleshooting."
"Heat maps are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is all the metrics we get. They're really good. Being able to drill down and find out where the CPU and memory bottlenecks are and being able to tune them is really helpful."
"We use the product to minimize downtime, as well as be in a position to plan for future growth."
"For project management and new clients, the What-If Analysis is very good. You can use it for workloads. When you are adding new workloads to your platform, it helps you avoid impacting your production."
"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support."
"I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs."
"There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures."
"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go."
"The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires."
"It's useful for us but if it had more educational reporting, it would good. It's not necessarily lacking but it's an area that could get better."
"The solution is more expensive than other products."
"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."
"The biggest room for improvement would be the customizability of the alerting function. The emails that come through are somewhat difficult to tailor along with the information contained within them and how they are laid out."
"Technical support is normally good but there is sometimes a delay in their response."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The integration points can use improvement. We currently use a lot of third-party management packs to get insights for SQL, HP or Dell EMC. If we could have more integration built in as a standard feature that would make it slightly better."
"In vROps, I would like to have both automation and monitoring together, not two separate things you have to buy. I want them included in one package, one installation."
"In the beginning, I picked up an implementation that had been designed wrong from the ground up."
"In some respects, the UI is pretty stale. It has been that way from the beginning. Some easier ways to create custom dashboards for management, versus the tech guys, versus administrators, that would be helpful."
"The one thing that I am always missing is training specific to Horizon. There is no training class you can go to for the Horizon add-on for vROps. I'd like to see specific training for Horizon admins, as opposed to general vSphere admins."
