"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The integration point."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"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."
"From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine."
"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."
"I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is application control."
"I like the tool's controller facility."
"The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"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."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"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."
"There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."
"The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires."
"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."
"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support."
