Policy and object reuse - the ability to create and reuse policy packages and objects across devices improves consistency and reduces configuration errors. Centralized management - FortiManager excels at managing large-scale deployments. It provides a central point to configure, monitor and update multiple FortiGate devices, which constitutes a huge time-saver for distributed networks. Granular user permissions - useful for enforcing security for teams with multiple administrators.
Good integration and usability. Deployment is not complex, and will make a big difference when you have a lot of FW clusters in your network
The user interface feels complex and less intuitive at times. Reporting capabilities are basic and often require customization. Performance degrades when managing large environments.
The user interface can feel dated. It has very limited reporting capabilities unless you pair it with FortiAnalyzer, which will require you to spend some more cash. Limited integration for non-Fortinet devices.
Some specific functions are not full transparent vrs the direct access to the FW (e.g. licencing status)
