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.

Real-time monitoring and analytics are very easy and fast and very easy to use
The alerting and real-time analytics helped the security team. They are using a Hadoop database, so real-time monitoring and analytics are very easy and fast. Queries return results quickly and in very small time. It has full automation and automated SIEM responses. We are currently only testing Logsign, but in a few months, we plan to integrate our servers, routers, firewalls, and endpoints into our company's Logsign instance. Then, we can manage everything using Logsign.

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 features of the solution are the reports and the playbooks."
"Separating sections or conditions on Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is quite clear."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is to be able to see everything in our network in a single task. A single menu and the graphical bar charts that it provides to give insights are very useful. It also gives very good metrics on bandwidth utilization, CPU, and device performance. It is very simple and easy to use as well."
"There are customizable workflows that you can work with. You can automate certain tasks in FortiAnaylzer in the incidents and events sections."
"Based on the logs of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer you can have it trigger actions. For example, if the log has a word or a sentence you specified it can send an alert or Syslog to an email address."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is easy; for customers with basic knowledge and for those who do not have a technical background, Fortinet is quite good and it should be the first choice."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is stable and there are no bugs or glitches."
"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

"They can include integration with devices, such as firewalls, endpoints, from other vendors. They can include graphic monitoring of everything in the network, not just Fortinet products. It would also be good to include customizable reports and customizable views of the reports."
"The only issue that I can see is with the cost. For example, if you buy support for one year, you are messed up next year. It's better to buy another gateway."
"It doesn't easily integrate with other solutions."
"Sometimes, there is a problem with CPU consumption, where one process consumes 100%, and I need to restart FortiAnalyzer to fix this."
"The solution could use more graphics and be more specific in the dashboard. This way, I'm able to understand everything and effectively understand what's going on, including what's incoming and outgoing. Right now, I have to look up everything. I need a dashboard so that I can see specific items right there in one place."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer cannot receive any queries. They should add this feature in the future to help manage solutions."
"I think some improvement is required in real-time log monitoring, as sometimes it gets stuck or displays results after a delay."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer could improve by offering more detailed packet inspection information, especially where packets get dropped."
"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."
"AI and machine learning need to be developed. If they develop those features, I think everything will be fine."
"Improvements needed in Logsign SIEM are providing specific security alerts that can be filtered and configured more effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FortiAnalyzer was in the product itself, but two years ago they split it from Fortinet. We paid the license two years ago."
"The price is quite expensive. Fortinet products are very expensive. That is something which they should also look at, because if you compare Fortinet product to, say, Sophos for example, Fortinet is really high and that's the only thing which is a drawback for most users."
"Its worth spending on FortiAnalyzer if you have multiple firewalls in your network."
"I rate FortiAnalyzer six out of 10 for affordability. FortiAnalyzer pricing isn't steady. It changes each quarter or year. That's one of the main problems in West Abaco because most businesses here are small or medium-sized enterprises. It makes budgeting complicated. You always want to pay the same price on the subscription."
"The hardware cost and services contract are fair."
"Compared to other products, the price is a little bit high."
"I won't say the solution is too costly since it is available at a fair price."
"The price is not expensive when compared to other solutions like Palo Alto."
"Compared to other SIEMs, it has low pricing."
