Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You can create intelligent alerts so you have enough time to replace the router or interface before it's full. The same is applicable for CBQoS channels.​""Downloads and records are the most valuable features.""It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you.​""The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products.""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.""It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled.""The tool helps us understand network performance.""My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him.​"

"The ability to manage everything from the cloud is going to be the most valuable by far with this solution.""Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has security features like DDoS protection and UTM.""The sandboxing feature is very important.""The intel we get from Fortinet is its most valuable aspect.""The initial setup is relatively easy.""Everything is valuable, especially the SD-WAN tunneling, filtering of email, application, and browsing. Everything has value.""One firewall box can contain various top-of-the-line services that are packaged together for easy administration.""The solution offers good network performance and efficiency."

Cons
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers.""It needs role-based administration.""We would like to be capable of reporting network performance with a report strictly focused on the times outside business hours, which CA PM does not currently support. We have discontinued the use of the Business Hours Filtering until CA engineers are able to resolve or offer guidance.""CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets.""When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. ​""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.""There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine.""I think it would be helpful having a more comprehensive set of certifications so that I could natively deploy devices to my environment and the tool would immediately recognize and immediately be able to provide relevant performance information without a lot of tuning on my part."

"I would like to see more reporting from the analysis improved in the future.""Having a built-in SOC solution like an XDR platform within the solution would be convenient for customers.""There are European and US clouds and sometimes we mix them up. The solution should make determining the clouds more clear, or make one cloud instead of having separate ones.""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.""ACL is an area with shortcomings that needs to be improved.""Lacks some security against external attacks.""GUI access could be improved. It should be simpler to access everything from the portal. Once we log in to the portal, we should be able to access all the Fortinet Cloud options.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. ​"
  • "Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."
  • "They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."
  • "I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
  • "We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."
  • "The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."
  • More DX Performance Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is over $1,000 USD annually."
  • "The pricing is mid-ranged, it's not very expensive but it's not the cheapest or most affordable in the market."
  • "The license does not include many of the features that are necessary, which means that you have to pay extra for them."
  • "It is expensive."
  • "The price of the solution is high compare to competitors."
  • "As with us, our customers need not pay for a license. One brings one's own."
  • "When comparing this solution to others it is less expensive and there is an annual license required."
  • "The pricing is competitive."
