Development from open sources is very valuable but a huge infrastructure is required
The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used. The search configuration is a bit different than other OEMs or SIEM solutions like ArcSight or QRadar that are easy to search because they operate similarly. The logic is there and the solution supplies a pretty good explanation. Basically, DNIF spelled out is the opposite of FIND. You have to find commands whenever you want to search something. For example, a highway gets you to your destination but there is an alternate way people don't yet know about. Gartner or Forrester haven't yet studied it. We were a bit nervous when we were trying to get familiar with the solution. We wondered if we could realize ROI because the commands and ways of pulling data were different to us. We raised a case with the support team and their professionals provided the needed support. The command line is user friendly once you understand it. If you need immediate use, then you might want to get assistance from someone who is well-versed in methods for using key patterns to find things. Lengthier files for threat hunting or analysis are needed. The correlation happens, but exporting a large number of files to abstract them is not possible. For example, I want to present raw data to management so I should be able to customize a date range in my query and download the files.

Management becomes centralized with effective logging
The features that are most effective for me in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer are easy to manage. Fortinet FortiManager is also a great product to manage multi-site management options and other tools. The capability of logging in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is great because there is no need to go to each individual box to check the traffic details. We can collect everything in Analyzer and check from a single console.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."
"The User Behavior Analytics is a built-in threat-hunting feature. It detects and reports on any kind of malware or ransomware that enters the network."
"It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table."
"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."
"If you're an enterprise company and want to scale your productivity for log monitoring purposes, I found DNIF a better option than Splunk which has more complex software."
"I like the MITRE table, a feature I saw for the first time in the same solution. There was one MITRE tactic table, which can be used to identify threats if you have all kinds of rules enabled or if you have rules for all the tactics in the MITRE table. There are 14 tables in MITRE, and those 14 tables consist of multiple columns, tactics, and techniques. It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table. On that basis, you can create new rules and identify existing ones. At any point, if an alert is triggered, it will try to match it to any of those MITRE tactics. I liked that creating a workbook on MITRE business was straightforward. I also like that you can search using SQL or DQL."
"Has a great search capability."
"From my perspective, we need to see the traffic in a good way so we can know what has happened in our network."
"For us in Latin America, the best features of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer are the solutions that combine SD-WAN and security in the same box."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is useful for seeing the problems of the network and analyzing what is happening in your network."
"I like its simplicity."
"For those organizations that need to use a product for reporting or some analysis of logs, this is a good solution."
"FortiAnalyzer helps us discover what's happening on the network."
"The solution is quite easy to deploy."
"The stability of the product is good and it has been reliable."
 

Cons

"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."
"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."
"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."
"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."
"We have some issues with machine learning plug-ins and I believe they're working on a solution for that."
"The EBA could be improved."
"The price is quite expensive. Fortinet products are very expensive."
"The solution should be more price competitive."
"The cloud version can be expensive."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is not in the cloud environment like some of the other products. There could be a possibility of extending its functionality to the cloud environment. If possible, they could have a deal with or integrate with other firewall manufacturers, like Palo Alto and Cisco, and mix the information. It is a difficult functionality. I don't know if any product in the market provides such functionality."
"The solution could embed monitoring."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer can improve by introducing integration with other Fortinet solutions with automation with one interface would be helpful."
"One of the main disadvantages is not having a direct link to the security policy when you see something in the log."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer cannot use as SNMP Manager so cannnot receive any queries of SNMP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"The pricing is based on the log size."
"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."
"When you compare with other firewall vendors, FortiAnalyzer is quite competitive in pricing."
"The price of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is expensive."
"The enterprise version of this solution is costly. We have considered FortiAuthenticator for network control, but the pricing was focused on the larger companies and didn't suit our needs as a smaller business."
"I rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer's pricing as five out of ten."
"t varies depending on your needs. However, after-sales support is expensive."
"The product's prices are a bit higher than the other solutions available in the market, but I would say that the tool's quality and support are areas that are good."
"​It depends upon the company.​"
"The pricing model is subscription-based."
