"FortiManager"
4/5
What do you like best about FortiManager?

The most popular feature is centralized configuration monitoring for firewall policies while configuring a FortiGate device without Fortimanager takes hours. With remote deployment with Fortimanager, you can set up a FortiGate and configure it within 30 minutes on average. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiManager?

Fortimanager does not allow to do every feature configured through Fortigate GUIsixxx with the same ease. For example, when the current Line type (DSL, VDSL) changes, it may not get its values when you configure it via fortimanager. For this, there were cases that we solved by configuring over fortigate.
