Fortinet FortiManager Reviews

I have used the FortiManager to implement and manage the Fortigate solution in one company that we implemented Fortinet. We use the FortiManager to manage all the Fortigates, firewalls, projects, and old projects.

The best feature of Fortinet FortiManager is its ease of use. It is easy to manage the firewall from Fortinet FortiManager. Additionally, the interface is very good.

The FortiManager is more complex and they can make it easier to use the VPN manager. All other features are okay. However, the VPN manager is more difficult and can cause some issues in the environment, if you do not have the experience to use it.

I used Fortinet FortiManager within the last 12 months.

The stability is good.

The scalability of Fortinet FortiManager is very good.

The technical support is good.

The initial setup is easy.

The amount of technicians you would need for the implementation of Fortinet FortiManager depends on the environment. If you have many firewalls managed by FortiManager, you need more people. However, one person can manage the FortiManager, but you have the Fortigate environment to manage, you need more people, for example approximately four for the environment.

I encourage the use of this solution. It is very good because they make it easy to manage the environment.

I rate Fortinet FortiManager a nine out of ten.

I use Fortinet FortiManager to manage multiple devices in a single location. Although it does not provide a security posture itself, it depends on the firewall policies and settings in their respective firewalls. Fortinet FortiManager is primarily meant for the management of devices.

Fortinet FortiManager manages multiple devices in a single location and can identify vulnerabilities. If it could create and send automated policies for any vulnerabilities to all devices, that would be ideal. I recommend integrating more AI features to enhance the reliability of the product.

The deployment of Fortinet FortiManager is quite complex and should be easier. It requires improvement in vulnerability management and should integrate automated AI features to enhance its reliability. The AI features are very limited, and there is room for adding more.

I have used Fortinet FortiManager for about ten years.

There are some issues when it comes to different firewall models with different firmware versions. Fortinet FortiManager can manage only a certain number of firmware versions at a time, which complicates deployment.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the stability of Fortinet FortiManager as a seven.

I would rate Fortinet FortiManager's scalability as a six out of ten, indicating it could be more scalable.

I find Fortinet's technical support for FortiManager effective and I would rate it eight out of ten.

For the cloud version, you just have to register the license, then it prepares the appliance. After that, you just add the devices by their IPs. For the on-premises version, you have to check the firmware versions and perform necessary updates.

One person can deploy Fortinet FortiManager, taking approximately fifteen to thirty minutes. Sometimes it takes even less time.

I find Fortinet FortiManager to be a bit more expensive, especially when considering the environment. It shows cost-effectiveness when managing more than ten devices, whereas it is less effective with fewer devices. I rated pricing as six out of ten.

I recommend Fortinet FortiManager for those managing more than ten devices. Overall, I would rate Fortinet FortiManager as a seven out of ten. Also, there is no need for maintenance after the deployment.
