"The installation and configuration process are easy."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The interactive mapping interface for scrolling, zooming, and drilling down on an element to learn about a network issue is good. When we see a network there will sometimes be a spot that has one link. You can go into a particular part of the topology map, scroll in, and see exactly which module it is."
"I use it on premises to monitor my network database. We monitor the link up/down and use the SNMP traps as well."
"The documentation is very good."
"We no longer have to manually search for problems because we are alerted when something in the network goes down."
"It handles the basics of monitoring."
"The product does not have Security Orchestration and Automation Response, I would recommend adding this feature."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."
"It lacks a "wizard" that shows a particular user's activity or particular circumstance. I think the interface is intimidating because there's so much information there."
"Network detection and response is a separate product."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market."
"The dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much."
"I might like to see a better interface in the future."
"The new release cadence needs to be improved. It takes a while for them to add new features and functionality. There should be a quicker turnaround with new versions."
"The technical support does not bother to respond."
"I think there are a few bugs now. Although they give some resolution for this, we cannot share the network remotely because of our company policy."
"Regional product team support is not very good."
"The point system is not clear and clarity around this would improve our understanding of the system."
"One of the biggest things that made us start to look at another product is we're not able to have an end to end monitoring from a user perspective throughout the system and back to the user. All the monitoring is from inside out, we need something that also can give us from outside in."
"The interface needs some work."
