"FortiManager's most valuable feature is central management."
"It is easy to manage a huge number of devices with FortiManager."

"The setup is very simple."
"I like the rapid deployment feature. I also like that it's easy to troubleshoot. FortiManager is amazing because we can have a centralized policy. All our devices are integrated, and we can also engage in troubleshooting. We can use it for different deployments. One fantastic feature is the ability to create a version and deploy it immediately."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"Troubleshooting for Fortinet products is more difficult than competing products like Cisco and Palo Alto."

"The price is a bit too high."
"The solution should be more open to other products."
"If you have more than one FortiMail device, you can't manage it then with FortiManager on FortiGate."

"For the IPSEC tunnels, Fortimanager doesn't have all of the features that are available on Fortigate."
"It would be better if it were easier to run a routing protocol. In the next release, I would like them to enhance some features in the GUI rather than CLI or OSP. For example, whenever a customer generates an ISP directly on the firewall, it's complicated to configure the routing protocol."
