How Fortinet and PRTG work together

Fortinet is a leader in infrastructure security solutions. PRTG by Paessler is a network monitoring tool. You can integrate Fortinet’s great security solutions into PRTG Network Monitor. See the benefits of the synergy between Fortinet and PRTG and the added value you’ll receive.

The Fortinet solutions offer a wide spectrum of security coverage. The Fortigate firewall, the flagship product of this corporation, is the device that should receive the highest attention when monitoring. Different security functions can be activated by software configuration, making this device a key component in the security role of the network.

Fortinet’s product catalogue is wide. They offer solutions for the security of:

• Network
• Data Center
• Wireless or wire access
• Infrastructure
• Content
• Endpoint
• Applications

One of Fortinet’s greatest advantages is that the devices support the most common protocols: SNMP, SNMP Traps, Syslog and NetFlow. All of them offer valuable and complementary information. To make the greatest use of the provided security services it is important to have an automated solution that ensures that everything is working perfectly. When something goes wrong, the IT admin should be promptly informed, so they can take care of the problem as soon as possible and hence assure the highest service level.

PRTG does not only alarm your IT admins that something is wrong, but it also guarantees that you are enjoying all the benefits of Fortigate while delivering the best ROI.

Reasons for integrating Fortinet into PRTG

Paessler already has a lot of experience with integrating Fortinet into PRTG. Here are the reasons why so many of our customers use both products:

Unified monitoring

The idea of a unified monitoring solution breaks the traditional paradigm of monitoring. Unified monitoring includes applications, networks, infrastructure, data centers, performance, virtualization, and the cloud. All of this is included in any of our PRTG Licenses.

Also, our product is vendor neutral, which makes it possible to monitor Fortinet devices along with other manufacturers, if they support the most common protocols. This interoperability of devices and services helps to the quick detection of the causes of problems in the network environment.

Easy setup

The configuration and setup of the monitoring of Fortinet can be done in a few minutes, giving the admins an efficient control tool for the mission critical parts of the environment. This is the goal of PRTG: being the simplest monitoring tool.

The PRTG auto-discovery feature makes it easy to take stock of a network. This feature will automatically find all the network devices within an IP address range, and then integrate them into your monitoring.

All in, no extra costs

The price-performance ratio of any of the PRTG Network Monitor licenses makes it easier to purchase it along with a Fortinet installation.

80% of our customers report substantial or even exceptional cost savings in the area of network monitoring. Within a few weeks you will get the ROI of your PRTG License purchase, plus added benefits like: damage prevention, reduction of workload for the IT personnel, and IT optimization.

This is why PRTG Fortinet Analyzer is the right tool
