What is the benefit of using FortiManager?

The benefit of using FortiManager primarily centers around its capability to centralize management for multiple Fortinet devices. This centralized management console allows network administrators to efficiently oversee and manage the security policies, configurations, and updates for various Fortinet products across a network from a single interface.

This functionality is particularly advantageous in environments where multiple Fortinet devices, such as firewalls or access points, are deployed. It streamlines operations by enabling configuration changes, policy enforcement, and monitoring to be done uniformly, thereby reducing the chances of errors that could occur if each device were managed independently. Additionally, centralizing management can facilitate quicker response times to security threats and improve overall operational efficiency by providing a comprehensive view of the network's security posture.

In contrast, while end-user training programs, data storage solutions, and acceleration of internet connections are significant in their own contexts, they do not represent the primary function or benefit of FortiManager. Instead, FortiManager's strength lies in providing a cohesive management platform that enhances control and oversight of Fortinet network security solutions.
