FortiManager Reviews & Product Details

FortiManager consolidates all the Fortigate Firewall into a single pane of management, creating templates like policy, profile, firmware upgrade and VPN to be deployed to the particular firewall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are certain times the like to access the firewall directly. Since you set the Fortigate to be centrally managed by the FortiManager, you cannot change and forced to edit something lead to loss of management link between Fortigate and FortiManager. It would be better if you could change from Fortigate and at the same time you can also synchronize with FortiManager without breaking the management protocol.

Easy installation, this solution could be installed as a virtual machine. It could be helpful when managing many FortiGate on remote sites with the same configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The menus are not as simple to manage as it's for the fortigate and sometimes the push to managed firewalls fails Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
