How much do users love FortiManager?

Pros

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Explainability Resolution of conflicting intent, reconciliation of what the user wants and what the network can actually do and actually did.

Mitigation Minimizing the effects of compromised intents aims at making the intent-based system operationally safe by providing checkpoint and safeguard mechanisms.

Natural Language Speak the language of the user as opposed to requiring the user to speak the language of the device/network.

Monitoring Observes the network and its exhibited behavior including events and performance outliers, performing measurements to assess delivered service levels.

Security Mechanisms and practices may consist in intent verification and validation; operations on intents by authenticated and authorized users only.

Intent Translation Translate user intent into courses of action and requests to take against the network, which will be meaningful to network configuration and provisioning system

Single Source of Truth A single set of validated intent expressions and state information of the system.

Outcome-driven Users do not need to be concerned with how intent is achieved and are empowered to think in terms of outcomes.

Assurance Compare the actual network behavior that is being monitored and observed with the intended behavior that is expected per the single source of truth.

Learning Availability in the system of capabilities or means for learning, reasoning, and knowledge representation and management.

Abstraction Supporting different forms of expression of intents and being capable of refining the intent expressions to well-formed and exploitable expressions.

Vendor Capability Ratings Average rating of all vendor capabilities, some of which may not be shown below

Ease of Implementation Successfully implementing new software is necessary to realize its full value and promote end user adoption. This data indicates whether or not the product is easy to implement.

Vendor Support The importance of vendor support will vary for each organization depending on internal capabilities, but there will always be issues that only the vendor can resolve.

Ease of IT Administration This data indicates whether IT personnel will be able to resolve issues and perform configurations efficiently and effectively.

Business Value Created Software needs to create value for employees, customers, partners, and, ultimately, shareholders. This data expresses user satisfaction - or lack thereof - with the product's business value.

Product Strategy and Rate of Improvement Vendors who don't stay on top of emerging needs and trends won't enable you to meet your business goals. Use this data to separate innovators from imposters.

Breadth of Features Users prefer feature rich software that enables them to perform diverse series of tasks. This data expresses user satisfaction with the product's breadth of features.

Ease of Data Integration Use this data to determine whether the product will cause headaches or make data integration easy.
