Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."We really liked its ease of implementation against our Microsoft Azure environment."
"Its monitoring and alerts are triggered by a failure or non-compliance with policies. It helps us to be able to act effectively and quickly."
"The rulesets and the findings are valuable. The actual core functionality of it and the efficacy of events are great."
"Good interface and visibility."
"The dashboard is intuitive. You know if you're compliant or not, and then it gives you a remediation plan."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to work with the APIs to integrate into our own backend systems."
"It presents great visibility of the traffic flow of our cloud, providing information on what data and users are circulating and in the event of a threat, it immediately identifies them by providing detailed and granular information from our entire environment."
"We have more visibility than ever before, appreciating the valuable and proactive insight that we receive from the platform."
"There is something called zero-touch provisioning, where you can add a new device without any configuration. You just add it to FortiManager and then forget about it."
"The capability of centralized management is valuable. We can configure all firewall boxes with the same configuration."
"Setup, setting policies, and reporting were all very easy. We had no issues whatsoever getting the solution up and running."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"FortiManager enables us to set unified firewall policies from one centralized dashboard, reducing human error. If you do not have a central dashboard, there's a chance you might set a policy on one firewall and forget to do it for another."
"The user interface, along with user-friendly planning features, makes it straightforward to configure desired settings."
"Technical support is great. When we have sent urgent tickets and they do reply back within fifteen minutes."
"Fortinet FortiManager allows you to manage multiple FortiGate devices from a single console, and this is a valuable product feature."
"I am not a technical person, but generically, the user interface can be a little more intuitive. Our staff has trained network security and cloud security professionals, and they get it, but when you are trying to get to the customers to be able to pick it up and maintain it, it can be a bit difficult."
"No improvements are needed."
"The setup can be better. With every other Check Point product, the setup is scripted. You just approve versions, and then you are off. The setup for this solution is still very much manual. I would like to see that transition to more of a scripted setup."
"I'd like to see more advanced encryption for local features, which is not present right now."
"The support it provides is not very good. They should improve it since we have had several setbacks due to support issues."
"Adding a feature that allows me to easily identify the changes that have been made to the CIS benchmark and update my own policy accordingly would be a valuable addition to Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management."
"The costs are high."
"Almost all features are good, however, they still require improvements to the code security portion on which integration with the major source code repository is required."
"The presence of Fortinet in our region (Nigeria) needs to be stronger."
"FortiManager would be improved by putting everything into a single console, including Microsoft O365 integration."
"The product is not very stable."
"There may be a communication issue. However, other items may be the culprit, such as network connectivity. It depends on the customer's network."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Regional support in African countries needs to be improved."
"It would be better if it were easier to run a routing protocol. In the next release, I would like them to enhance some features in the GUI rather than CLI or OSP. For example, whenever a customer generates an ISP directly on the firewall, it's complicated to configure the routing protocol."
"FortiManager should improve the integration with third-party platforms."
