What differentiates FortiManager from other similar products?
With the Fortinet Security Fabric, FortiManager is able to closely manage various security systems. With this approach, companies can easily monitor and streamline their operations, ensuring the entire network remains safe.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like that FortiManager allows organizations to manage several Fortinet devices from one place which helps save time. This feature makes operations easier and allows administrators to monitor security, giving them a chance to act quickly against any danger.
What do you dislike most about this product?
FortiManager is not easy for new users to pick up because it requires considerable learning. The variety of features and settings available in an SP can be tough for administrators to handle without spending a lot of time learning and getting trained, as they must use each feature to ensure optimal performance.

Using FortiManager is a great option for companies that need to manage all their Fortinet security products from one location. Because it is intuitive, setting up and monitoring the software, along with reporting, becomes straightforward and helps save on administration work.

Enhance Efficiency with FortiManager.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates FortiManager from other similar products?
FortiManager provides powerful automation to facilitate both configuration management and policy enforcement. Other management solutions may be less intuitive and fail to offer as much detailed information as FortiManager.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Having automation in FortiManager reduces the amount of time administrators need to spend setting up configurations. If companies automate regular tasks, IT teams can focus on more important things because they don’t have to manage repetitive aspects of their work. As a result, the network becomes safer and more flexible.
What do you dislike most about this product?
A few users may discover that the setup for creating reports is not very flexible. Since pre-made reports cannot be altered much, using them can sometimes stop managers from making the best decisions for their companies. The product would be much better if it could provide more flexible reporting options.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
With FortiManager, organisations can set up and manage policies easily across their entire network using strong automation. Not only does this help achieve consistency throughout the process, but it also improves the company’s overall security, so it is valuable for any security-conscious business.
