"When devices are having performance issues, it proactively build dashboards which allow us to go and do health checks, and resolve problems before they become an issue."
"We have been able to get a little bit better at seeing more things in real time and more just in time, so we're less reactionary."
"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."
"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."
"The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products."
"Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."
"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device."
"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."
"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."
"The documentation has been satisfactory."
"From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine."
"The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable."
"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."
"The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is application control."
"I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."
"It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics."
"Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."
"This solution is not very scalable."
"DX Performance Management should increase high availability. If one of my two data centers goes offline and the other is operational, I need a seamless transition from the primary to the secondary data center. It's crucial to maintain consistent monitoring of the devices during this transition. Therefore, I require continuous, 24/7 monitoring of my system using this tool."
"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."
"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."
"We experience disconnections between the solutions own components."
"CA PM Business Hours Filtering: I understand that all monitoring systems have defects. The Business Hours Filtering does not always function properly. Sometimes, when applying business hours to CA PM reports that are 30 or more days in duration, the report generation times out and does not display results. We have other CA PM reports that, when we apply Business Hours Filtering, the report results displayed are the same as without the filter. We are not sure if this is a defect in CA PM or if it is a result of our complex configuration (folder structure) and application of business hours."
"The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires."
"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."
"The solution is more expensive than other products."
"I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs."
"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."
"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go."
"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."
"There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures."
