Manikandan Kannan - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplifying log management by displaying detailed access information
The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is its ability to simplify and display logs clearly, providing details like which IPs are accessing the system, the destination, and the policies applied. This visualization and detail make managing logs more straightforward. In conjunction with our VMware setup, Fortinet FortiAnalyzer enhances organizational efficiency, meeting the standard log retention period for up to a year.
Ayaz Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Works well for threat detection and security
Improvements needed in Logsign SIEM are providing specific security alerts that can be filtered and configured more effectively. There should be a focus on delivering alerts tailored to specific needs rather than overwhelming users with numerous alerts. Additionally, incorporating more mature data about threats is necessary for better threat detection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gives you live logs, which can be really helpful during troubleshooting."
"It is very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is the capturing of traffic for reports."
"The most valuable features of the solution are report generation and traffic logs."
"The most valuable features are customizing reports, and the ability to drill down to display critical information in real-time."
"I completely recommend Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to others."
"The system provides valuable insights through information, graphics, and reports."
"It supports SQL for logging and reporting. Log data is inserted into the SQL database for log view and report generation."
"It has full automation and automated SIEM responses."
"Logsign provides sample logs within the product, allowing users to see how logs will appear before integration, which is a valuable feature for testing and understanding log formats."
"The most valuable features of Logsign SIEM are its cloud capabilities, alerting functionality, integration with Elastic Search, and configuration options."
 

Cons

"We should be able to do the patch upgrades in a centralized manner. This functionality is currently not there. It would be good to be able to do the firmware updates from one place and at the same time. Currently, if we want to update all appliances, we require FortiManager, which is another solution from Fortinet. Its documentation can be improved. It will be helpful for implementing the product and gaining knowledge for management purposes."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution lacks business intelligence features. It's much too basic."
"The reports are good, but they are over-summarized."
"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."
"The cost of FortiAnalyzer could be cheaper, especially when you are installing to a VM. For 90 percent of customers, the VM solution is enough."
"It doesn't easily integrate with other solutions."
"Their in-house technical support is extremely slow to respond. We have our own in-house team to manage issues so clients don't have to wait over two weeks for a response to issues."
"AI and machine learning need to be developed. If they develop those features, I think everything will be fine."
"I hope they address the pricing model for Logsign Next-Gen SIEM, especially regarding regional variations. The pricing should not differ based on the country of operation as it can lead to dissatisfaction among customers. A fixed pricing structure would be more favorable for us. I would also suggest enhancing the GUI interface and adding features similar to xFi Exchange from IBM Pure. This would streamline operations and save time for analysts."
"Improvements needed in Logsign SIEM are providing specific security alerts that can be filtered and configured more effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"t varies depending on your needs. However, after-sales support is expensive."
"The cost and pricing should be in accordance with the calculation of log storage capacity for a time period required for historical analysis."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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 solution is quite expensive"
"The price of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is expensive."
"The number of licenses required directly corresponds with the number of devices connected."
"The pricing of this solution is fair, and it is based on what you can manage."
"Compared to other SIEMs, it has low pricing."
