1. User-friendly GUI - Simple to use

3. VPN functionality - Easy integration with IPsec tunnels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Performance could have been better for Data Plane
The Command line is a little different and needs more time to get adapted to it and some features/control is available only in command line Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
