"The solution is very stable."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop.

"Having FortiManager work with all of the Fortinet products would be a good improvement."
"Configuring Fortinet without internet access is challenging."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications.

"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
