The most valuable feature in FortiManager is the ability to automate the deployment processes and maintenance.What needs improvement?

Generally, what I know about the pricing is that Fortinet FortiManager is not expensive at all if you compare it with other vendors like Check Point and like Cisco. Fortinet products are the least… more»Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I work mostly with Fortinet now. I work with FortiGuard and FortiGate firewalls. I work with FortiExtender to connect with the 4G network. I work with FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager to manage the… more»What other advice do I have?

The licensing costs depend on how many devices you want to use. It's based on the licensing model and the number of devices you add to the system. The more devices you add to FortiManager, the more… more»Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we did not use a different solution.What other advice do I have?

What is most valuable?
The solution offers very good management of firewalls. There are many great features. Overall, it's a strong solution. The solution is very stable.What needs improvement?
The solution is very good; I'm not sure if I can think of any features that are lacking. The GUI could be updated. It's not as good as it could be and is something the solution should improve in an upcoming release. It would be nice if there could be more reporting included in the solution so that we could get more details about an individual user's profile.What other advice do I have?
FortiManager is for the syncing of devices. Therefore, when companies are using multiple devices from Fortinet, such as FortiGate, FortiSwitches, FortiAP, etc., then it's required to have FortiManager. That way, companies can manage central lines in all of the devices via a single person. It's a very useful application. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. It's got all of the features we need to… more»

What is most valuable?
The product is a combination of management and monitoring from the same interface.How has it helped my organization?
One site we worked on had something like 10 firewalls in different branches, and the security admin there needed to monitor the firewalls from a centralized place, so we deployed FortiManager and configured it so he could monitor things from one place. At another site, we use it in backup mode for… more»What needs improvement?
The areas that need improvement are implementation and support. In terms of implementation, it mainly needs clear documentation. There are many features that are not mentioned in the documentation.What other advice do I have?
I recommend FortiManager if you have more than FortiGate firewalls or more Fortinet products. In terms of users of the solution, our clients are between medium and enterprise in scope.Real User
