Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."The most valuable feature of DataMiner is its comprehensiveness. It provides an open driver that allows you to customize and program each aspect of the system. Additionally, there are many separate modules available that can be used to enhance the system's capabilities beyond just monitoring, allowing you to manage your entire workflow. This is a valuable feature that makes troubleshooting easier and helps to optimize the use of the system."
"Data Miner allows you to take control. It has an API to talk to different products, including drivers to talk to the APIs of third-party products. You can control it from the screen."
"The solution is user-friendly and is readily customizable, which allows us to do control and monitoring in a single stage."
"The central management feature is the most valuable to me."
"The features are good."
"The solution has the best stability for application control and inspections."
"The firewall configuration has more capabilities than the other firewall management systems that I have worked with."
"It makes management very easy."
"I appreciate the ability to connect via SSH through Fortinet FortiManager to the FortiGates I manage. This feature allows me to gather information about the interfaces without having to physically connect to the device. This is a convenient aspect that I find valuable."
"The most valuable features are the centralized management of the firewalls."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized management console."
"We would like to have more products supported by the drivers because there are so many products out there. If DataMiner has not built the drivers to support them we can not control them, we can only see them based on SNMP. If more drivers are included, it won't cost us if we have new products."
"I am looking forward to the company continuing to improve its solution and incorporate new technologies. Specifically, I hope that they will allow their cloud database environment to host services, rather than requiring the use of on-premises digital or physical servers. The company is moving in this direction, but I am still waiting for this capability to be implemented."
"There is a degradation of performance if we activate logs on FortiManager."
"In the next release, FortiManager should include more protection features."
"We have experienced a series of minor bugs that necessitated contacted technical support on several occasions."
"Pricing-wise, it could always be less, even though it is less expensive than Palo Alto."
"When I started, it was a bit difficult, however, now it's okay. It can be a bit complex for basic users."
"Troubleshooting for Fortinet products is more difficult than competing products like Cisco and Palo Alto."
"If you have more than one FortiMail device, you can't manage it then with FortiManager on FortiGate."
"Performance issues should be improved. We have problems when we have more mobile connections than local devices. Most of us have two to three devices."
