User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Fortinet FortiManager is well suited for larger organizations which require unified configurations and IT departments that need quick turn around on firewall related tickets. I believe MSPs can also benefit with the use of the VDOM feature, if strict separation between clients is needed. FortiManager wouldn't be ideal for 1-3 site operations, unless their configurations are extremely complex or have a high number of active users. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Fortinet Centralized FortiGate FW Management in a single console Available physical, virtual, or cloud deployment Single console for next-generation FW features Multiple Administrative Domains Incentivized Shahab Razak Senior Network Architect Read full review
Cons	Fortinet Various bugs: The software is buggy, and if you don't have a good understanding of it's underlaying operation, you can get confused or stuck when pushing a configuration. There are lots of little quirks you will have to learn, which are not described in any documentation. Conflict resolution: Occasionally, during larger changes, bringing new devices in, pushing a config will fail due to dependencies, conflicts, or other software bugs. This is somewhat time consuming because the error messages provided aren't descriptive CLI Options: Some configuration changes require creating scripts that execute on each device, and can't be done via the GUI Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Fortinet FortiManager is the best choice for managing numerous FortiGate firewalls. It allows for easy integration into ServiceNow and automates simple repetitive tasks that are very straightforward. Role-based access control is easy to enable and you can get quite granular with user permissions. Administrative Domains help segregate firewall management and compliance within the FortiManager console, by almost any classification method that makes sense to your organization.
