We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and Fortinet FortiPortal based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom and others in DX NetOps."The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice."
"The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products."
"The out-of-the-box dashboards are valuable, in terms of being able to visualize performance data in ways that we haven't in the past."
"There is a good amount of vendor certification which comes with the product. That's all factory-loaded, no need to load any custom-made files. Most of the metrics are calibrated and captured from the devices based on the defaults available from vendor certification."
"You can have thousands of devices inside and hundreds of thousands of interphases without a problem."
"The most valuable feature of DX Performance Management is the quick way we can collect data without putting much effort. They have a lot of customization and features with the solution internally and out of the box. We can discover the device, and start collecting information. For example, if the device is available, we can receive the CPU and memory utilization, and the interface optimization is simple and very fast to implement."
"It gave us one location, one place to do all of group administration, and to build dashboards, and device administration, inventory counts... it really reduced our overall administrative overhead."
"The tool helps us understand network performance."
"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."
"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."
"The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable."
"I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."
"The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"I like the tool's controller facility."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is application control."
"It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe. In some of the other products, usually, you have to go a couple of screens in to see that, but not so much in this product."
"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."
"I have mixed feeling about the scalability. I feel like there are things which are being put into UIM right now that are not being included in Performance Center that we need to see in Performance Center. We are kind of being driven to buy UIM, and I can't justify it."
"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."
"CA PM Business Hours Filtering: I understand that all monitoring systems have defects. The Business Hours Filtering does not always function properly. Sometimes, when applying business hours to CA PM reports that are 30 or more days in duration, the report generation times out and does not display results. We have other CA PM reports that, when we apply Business Hours Filtering, the report results displayed are the same as without the filter. We are not sure if this is a defect in CA PM or if it is a result of our complex configuration (folder structure) and application of business hours."
"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."
"This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements."
"For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth."
"Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."
"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go."
"Fingerprint access security would improve this solution."
"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."
"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."
"The solution is more expensive than other products."
"The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires."
"There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures."
