Application performance and configuration

Fortinet’s SD-WAN solution includes several features designed to improve network visibility and simplify setup. The FortiGuard performance SLA database streamlines SLA creation by offering hundreds of preconfigured thresholds for popular SaaS and cloud services, helping reduce setup time and errors while optimizing application performance. Application Performance Monitoring provides end-to-end visibility into user experience by passively analyzing TCP metrics, enabling quick identification of network bottlenecks and issues. To facilitate rapid deployment and utilization of the above features, a guided underlay setup wizard walks users through provisioning steps using Fortinet best practices.
