Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."The setup is very simple."
"Fortinet FortiManager allows you to manage multiple FortiGate devices from a single console, and this is a valuable product feature."
"A fully integrated solution."
"The reports feature is excellent."
"Setup, setting policies, and reporting were all very easy. We had no issues whatsoever getting the solution up and running."
"It has multiple features in one box, which helps to avoid needing a lot of equipment. This is something that makes them unique."
"It would normally take us a handful of days to install one FortiGate instance on one site. But with this technology, zero-touch deployment, we need just one hour or maybe as little as 30 minutes to install one site. It is much more efficient."
"The integration is quite good."
"DHCP is a basic service, and they've been doing it for years, so it's mature and stable."
"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection allows us to manage our overall addresses and IT in one location. Many companies are using this solution, it is very popular."
"The security of the solution is perfect. It's very good at protecting us from attacks."
"Grid high availability technology ensured network reliability, resilient network services, failover, recovery, and seamless maintenance."
"Centralized management of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM helped us a lot in simplifying and automating the management of network and services."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is its performance and visibility."
"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 I started, it was a bit difficult, however, now it's okay. It can be a bit complex for basic users."
"The price is a bit too high."
"FortiManager could be more user-friendly."
"For the IPSEC tunnels, Fortimanager doesn't have all of the features that are available on Fortigate."
"I didn't like the connectivity with FortiManager and FortiSwitch, which was buggy and annoying and had fewer features."
"This solution needs more experienced technical support staff. There's nothing special about it compared to other vendors."
"Wizards could be improved in pushing policies."
"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."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"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."
