Find out in this report how the two DX NetOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"The integration point."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"The VPN features are the most valuable."
"FortiGate Cloud boosts productivity because one solution covers all the requirements, features, and management functions. Staff can operate it with less security knowledge, so it decreases the workload of our security specialists. Anyone with training on the console can manage access to users and devices based on standardized structural services."
"Everything is valuable, especially the SD-WAN tunneling, filtering of email, application, and browsing. Everything has value."
"FortiGate Cloud's most valuable feature is that it's 100% managed."
"It's quite easy to use, and it's easy to find the necessary information from the web."
"I have found centralized administration, cloud UI, and visibility and security on all networks valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the inspection. It inspects before we have any traffic stops intrusion."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has valuable firewall, SSL VPN, and web filtering features."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"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."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"When it comes to technical support, the problem we have found is that if an issue comes, it takes a day to get everything resolved. It could be faster. They can be better at optimizing how they answer tickets in terms of response times. There must be ways to make the process more streamlined. It would make it easier for their clients."
"We do find we get a bit of a lag."
"I recommend that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud improve their rules for configuration with each other."
"The command-line interface could definitely be improved in future iterations. It's lacking right now."
"Fortinet could improve FortiGate Cloud by providing better integration with third-party applications and features."
"The SSL visibility could be better."
"The interface and dashboards should improve in Fortinet FortiGate Cloud. Other solutions have better graphical interfaces."
"Lacks some security against external attacks."
