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

"The system provides valuable insights through information, graphics, and reports."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is its ability to report for several management tasks in a very short time."
"Separating sections or conditions on Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is quite clear."
"The dashboard of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is outstanding with very detailed information."
"The most valuable features are customizing reports, and the ability to drill down to display critical information in real-time."
"The solution provides good standardized reports and is easy to troubleshoot."
"We have the most data visibility."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is its capability for analyzing and providing visually comprehensive reports, making it easier to understand the network environment."
"The most valuable features of Logsign SIEM are its cloud capabilities, alerting functionality, integration with Elastic Search, and configuration options."
"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."
 

Cons

"The interface or GUI does not work properly on Microsoft Edge. The behavior or the view is different on Microsoft Edge versus on Chrome or Firefox. When some buttons do not work, I am forced to switch to Firefox."
"The solution does not function well with third-party tools"
"The user interface could be a bit more user-friendly."
"The cloud version can be expensive. If the customers could get the resources to store the logs on-premises, it would be much better."
"Sometimes, there is a problem with CPU consumption, where one process consumes 100%, and I need to restart FortiAnalyzer to fix this."
"The UI can be more user-friendly for new users."
"I feel that Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is a little bit heavy, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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

"The pricing is reasonable."
"Its worth spending on FortiAnalyzer if you have multiple firewalls in your network."
"The program is expensive."
"​It depends upon the company.​"
"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."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is very expensive."
"We pay for an annual license."
"The price is not expensive when compared to other solutions like Palo Alto."
"Compared to other SIEMs, it has low pricing."
