FortiMonitor
Network performance and digital experience monitoring from the user's seat
- Licensing
- By monitored device and endpoint
- Capabilities
- NPMD, DEM, synthetic monitoring, alerting
- Deployment
- SaaS with on-premises collectors
FortiMonitor measures what the user actually experiences rather than whether a device is up, combining network performance monitoring with digital experience monitoring so a complaint about a slow SaaS application can be traced to the hop responsible.
Where it fits, and where it stops fitting
If your complaints are about SaaS and remote work rather than the data centre, DEM is the piece that helps, conventional infrastructure monitoring will keep showing everything green while users suffer. Licensing follows monitored assets, so an accurate inventory gives an accurate quote.
Highlights
- Measures experience, not just device uptime
- Traces slow SaaS to endpoint, LAN, ISP or provider
- Covers remote workers outside your network
- Synthetic monitoring for proactive detection
Typical deployments
- Diagnosing 'the internet is slow' for a hybrid workforce
- Proving whether a SaaS problem is yours or the provider's
- Monitoring branch circuit quality against an SLA
What to work out first
FortiMonitor measures what the user actually experiences rather than whether a device is up. It combines network performance monitoring with digital experience monitoring, so a complaint about a slow SaaS application can be traced to the hop responsible, the endpoint, the local network, the ISP or the provider.
For hybrid-work environments it closes the visibility gap that opens the moment the workforce stops sitting behind your own network.
Questions worth answering before you order
Where do your complaints come from?
If they are about SaaS and remote work rather than the data centre, DEM is the piece that helps; conventional infrastructure monitoring will keep showing everything green.
How many endpoints and devices?
Licensing follows monitored assets, so an accurate inventory is needed for an accurate quote.
What do you already have?
Most organisations have some monitoring. The question is what it cannot see, usually the last mile to the user.
What this includes
Fortinet publishes no throughput table for this product; it is licensed per user, endpoint, workload or account. What follows is capability and sizing, not benchmarks.

How this is sized
Fortinet licenses this product per user, endpoint, workload or account rather than by appliance throughput, so there is no comparable performance table to publish. We size it from your actual environment, tell us the numbers and we will work it through with you.
