"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is its performance and visibility."
"Fortinet is releasing quite a lot of new versions and I would say that most of the versions are not well tested before they're pushed out. Even the new versions sometimes are a bit buggy before it's all correct."
"FortiManager would be improved by putting everything into a single console, including Microsoft O365 integration."
"The presence of Fortinet in our region (Nigeria) needs to be stronger."
"Setting up FortiManager can be complex because it involves changes from other devices and a lot of configuration."
"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."
"When we have a specific configuration pushed it does take some time to be deployed on the actual firewall."
"This solution needs more experienced technical support staff. There's nothing special about it compared to other vendors."
"It's a difficult process to transfer one interface from one virtual domain to another."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
"The service monitoring information could be simplified of this appliance and the information displayed on the dashboards could be improved. I have not found one dashboard to be perfect. For example, in Splunk, I can create a dashboard in Grafana. However, in Grafana, it takes a very long time to create them. There should be another API to do it better."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"The solution is expensive."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
"The price could be reduced to improve the solution."
"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
