Senior Manager at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
Comprehensive log analysis has improved traffic monitoring and streamlined risk mitigation
Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is a very comprehensive analyzer providing detailed analyzing features and customizable reports. I can get customization and custom reports, and there are many functions available. It is very good for any organization.Log management in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is excellent, as it stores approximately two years of logs. Using Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, I analyze vulnerability risks and threats and sort out problems accordingly. I then create policies and mitigate the risk based on my findings. I have created many customizable reports in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer. I have customized the reports to schedule them and generate reports every day that are sent to my email. I am not using any SIEMs, but Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is the best and looks like a SIEM. I did not integrate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer with any security information and event management solutions. With Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, I have streamlined the process to mitigate risks and save time to get event information on any type of threats, risks, and unwanted traffic. Risk and time are saved, and it is valuable for any organization.

A tool that offers features like SOAR and UBA, along with an out-of-the-box connector for users
LogRhythm Axon has come up with the AI cloud concept in the market. When it comes to the AI cloud concept, you need to consider that every region has differences when it comes to data sovereignty. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon was based on real-time AI and ML concepts, along with analytics parts that were carried out. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon is not something that is available in India, so I want it to be introduced in India soon with data sovereignty compliance in place. LogRhythm should focus more on Axon and its cloud platform, which can be helpful in the future to compete with players like Sentinel and Splunk, which currently offer cloud models to users. With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required.

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 is its robust and comprehensive reporting functionality, providing a thorough overview of various metrics."
"The most valuable features of the solution are report generation and traffic logs."
"It is a reliable product."
"The IBS (Intent Based Segmentation) and application web filtering are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is simple and reliable."
"There are a lot of monitoring features available."
"It is a simple and solution."
"The feature I find most useful is the handy dashboard."
"Scalability-wise, LogRhythm Axon is a good product."
"The fact that your investigations can be saved into a single query string that you can copy and share with your teammates is going to be a game changer."
"The search feature within Axon is pretty robust; it's actually very fast in comparison to the previous platform and is going to exponentially help the investigation times for the SOC analysts and for just pulling logs and getting data."
"For me, the most valuable feature of LogRhythm AXON is the log parsing technology it has. With my company, I'm the current policy builder, so not having to know an archaic, cryptic format and being able to visually grab a log and assign an element to a particular meta tag quickly and easily and being able to run tests on that have been super useful. It's going to revolutionize the way the logs are identified and classified."
 

Cons

"The traffic monitoring could be better, and stability could be improved."
"The cloud version can be expensive."
"It would be good if the product could provide data about the websites users visit."
"There is no issue with the hardware appliance. However, when discussing the cloud options, they offer very limited features, especially in terms of reporting and analyzing data."
"When I had contact with FortiManager and Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, it was not so easy, but with some reading or training on the platform, it becomes easy to use."
"The integration with other vendors for log collection could be enhanced."
"We would like to see some improvement on the upgrade process around this solution. There are sometimes communication issues when a new version of the firewall is implemented, and it fails to report back to this product."
"In terms of what could be improved, sometimes it's lagging and it also has some graphical issues with the GUI."
"I'd give technical support a five out of ten. There are definitely areas that they can improve upon, and faster response times would be wonderful, and having more knowledgeable staff who provide the support would also be great."
"With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It's a very beta solution right now, and there are so many features that we would like to see added in, such as integration with Active Directory, which is essential for user management and for streamlining that process significantly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We pay approximately $11,000 for a three-year license to use Fortinet FortiAnalyzer. When we compared the price of this solution to others it is not expensive. Palo Alto is a more expensive solution."
"The cost and pricing should be in accordance with the calculation of log storage capacity for a time period required for historical analysis."
"The solution is quite expensive"
"Its price is okay for us. Fortinet products are cheaper than other solutions."
"All Fortinet programs come at a good price."
"We found the price of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to be reasonable."
"Its worth spending on FortiAnalyzer if you have multiple firewalls in your network."
"I know that there are certain payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the product...The pricing of LogRhythm Axon falls under the mid-range, in my opinion."
