Key Features and Benefits
Proactive performance management
- Device speed testing: You can continuously monitor the performance of your ISP links with automated speed tests to FortiGuard servers. This can identify potential bottlenecks before they impact your users. Also, the test can be scheduled and executed on-demand per device or groups across the network from FortiManager and charted on a map for easy viewing of performance.
- FortiGuard performance SLA database: You can leverage hundreds of preconfigured databases of performance SLAs for popular SaaS and cloud application destinations with recommended SLA thresholds. This allows your organization to easily create service level agreements for ISP link performance. It reduces time spent on setup, curtails the chance of configuration errors, and ensures optimal path selection so you are getting the most out of your applications.
- Application performance monitoring (APM): Gain deep insights into application performance with passive monitoring of TCP metrics by calculating advanced metrics of your user traffic. APM is designed to measure the user experience from end to end, effectively identifying bottlenecks and troubleshooting issues.
