Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."The solution is very stable."
"The product is a combination of management and monitoring from the same interface."
"I appreciate the ability to connect via SSH through Fortinet FortiManager to the FortiGates I manage. This feature allows me to gather information about the interfaces without having to physically connect to the device. This is a convenient aspect that I find valuable."
"Technical support is great. When we have sent urgent tickets and they do reply back within fifteen minutes."
"Setup, setting policies, and reporting were all very easy. We had no issues whatsoever getting the solution up and running."
"The solution brings device management into one single pane of glass and is a pretty good product."
"Central management system for Fortinet devices that's simple, scalable, and stable, with a straightforward setup."
"FortiManager's most valuable feature is central management."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is its performance and visibility."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"The solution helps to identify and mitigate DNS attacks."
"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"It is a stable solution."
"The security of the solution is perfect. It's very good at protecting us from attacks."
"The main advantages with Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the dashboards, the reporting system, and they have the GUI interface."
"Grid high availability technology ensured network reliability, resilient network services, failover, recovery, and seamless maintenance."
"Wizards could be improved in pushing policies."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with other solutions other than Fortinet."
"The GUI is not ideal."
"Having FortiManager work with all of the Fortinet products would be a good improvement."
"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."
"Troubleshooting for Fortinet products is more difficult than competing products like Cisco and Palo Alto."
"It's a difficult process to transfer one interface from one virtual domain to another."
"The compatibility with legacy products should be better. It would also be nice if the software could manage other devices from Fortinet and third parties."
"The price could be reduced to improve the solution."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"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."
"There needs to be more capabilities in order to configure the console itself instead of the user interface dashboard. Configuring the DNS or DHCP through the console instead of the GUI dashboard would be better."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
