Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"The tool is a complete package that offers many features like visibility. You can get a graph with real-time workflows and visibility into server-to-server communication. We get visibility into many things happening within our environment."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"We like the centralized management of the firewalls. Until we installed Guardicore Centra, we managed all our firewalls individually, so making changes was complicated, difficult, and time-consuming."
"The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"From day one, you get threat intelligence. It will immediately block active threats, which has been useful."
"The solution is very stable."
"The firewall configuration has more capabilities than the other firewall management systems that I have worked with."
"The reports feature is excellent."
"Stability is good within the product."
"The capability of centralized management is valuable. We can configure all firewall boxes with the same configuration."
"Centralized configuration is the most helpful feature. I like the ability to create templates and push them to all the devices at the same time. I also like that I can see the the logs with one device to provide zero touch on all other products."
"FortiManager's most valuable features are web-based or web-rule-based policies, SD-WAN, and the ease of upgrading to new firmware."
"You can configure it at your ease."
"Needs more customization of honeypots and a vaster catalog of systems able to be mimicked."
"They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware."
"Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow."
"The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow."
"Guardicore Centra should incorporate automation so that we don't require to write custom scripts and APIs. The tool also has limitations on rules where it allows only sixty thousand rules. Our clients have also commented that there are too many manual clicks and effort to do changes. I think that the incorporation of automation can help our clients make changes with confidence and without the possibility of human error."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"The solution has some bugs."
"The information extraction through command lines was could improve to some extent. Although there were some command lines available, there were not enough options. For instance, I needed to obtain the management IP address of my two Fortigates, but the Fortinet FortiManager did not provide me with the IP address on the LAN interface. I attempted to find this information through the command line but was unsuccessful. I also searched for articles on the internet, but could not find a solution. This is an aspect that could be improved or potentially there is a method to access this information that I have yet to discover."
"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."
"There are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed, for example, the ZTP."
"The reporting details have room for improvement."
"There is a degradation of performance if we activate logs on FortiManager."
"The solution should be more open to other products."
"Fortinet FortiManager could improve them by adding more portfolio components."
