More ExtremeAnalytics Pros →

"The setup is very simple.""I like the rapid deployment feature. I also like that it's easy to troubleshoot. FortiManager is amazing because we can have a centralized policy. All our devices are integrated, and we can also engage in troubleshooting. We can use it for different deployments. One fantastic feature is the ability to create a version and deploy it immediately.""It is easy to set up the solution.""It is easy to deploy to licenses.""The capability of centralized management is valuable. We can configure all firewall boxes with the same configuration.""The user interface is very easy to navigate.""The product is easy to use and manage.""It has multiple features in one box, which helps to avoid needing a lot of equipment. This is something that makes them unique."

Cons
"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster.""ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."

More ExtremeAnalytics Cons →

"This solution needs more experienced technical support staff. There's nothing special about it compared to other vendors.""I didn't like the connectivity with FortiManager and FortiSwitch, which was buggy and annoying and had fewer features.""If you have more than one FortiMail device, you can't manage it then with FortiManager on FortiGate.""The reporting details have room for improvement.""Regional support in African countries needs to be improved.""FortiManager could improve by making it easier to port larger policy packages to the FortiGate firewalls. Sometimes, there's an issue when we install a big package of policies. If you have a couple thousand policies for FortiGate firewalls, it can take a few minutes to receive a response from the remote devices. It's only an issue when you're dealing with thousands of policies and installing them on a large number of devices.""Within the management of some features on FortiManager, specifically the management of user objects used for VPN service, FortiManager is quite weak.""We have experienced a series of minor bugs that necessitated contacted technical support on several occasions."
