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.
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

"I recommend Fortinet FortiAnalyzer."
"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 most valuable features of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer are the dashboards and supporting services."
"It helps a lot with predicting everything that you might see happening on your network."
"It's a very stable product."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is useful for seeing the problems of the network and analyzing what is happening in your network."
"The most important feature is to be able to get reports or information about the state of all firewalls."
"For us in Latin America, the best features of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer are the solutions that combine SD-WAN and security in the same box."
"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."
"It has full automation and automated SIEM responses."
"The most valuable features of Logsign SIEM are its cloud capabilities, alerting functionality, integration with Elastic Search, and configuration options."
 

Cons

"The following could be better: operation and maintenance, high-availability architecture, and management link embedded in the transmission link."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer cannot use as SNMP Manager so cannnot receive any queries of SNMP."
"The solution costs too much."
"Sometimes, there is a problem with CPU consumption, where one process consumes 100%, and I need to restart FortiAnalyzer to fix this."
"FortiAnalyzer only works with other Fortinet products. If you need to analyze the data from other devices, other vendors, this solution is not the best one to use."
"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."
"We don't need to do much to install FortiAnalyzer because it always depends on FortiGate. You need to deploy FortiGate before you install it. That's why I say that I see it as a dummy box. I don't see anything interesting in it. It's only a support structure."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​It depends upon the company.​"
"It is expensive for small business customers. It is only available for customers with a high number of firewalls to manage or to report. If a customer has only five boxes of FortiGate, the price of FortiAnalyzer can be more than the five boxes. So, we can't easily put this solution for small business customers."
"There is a license needed to use this 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 hardware cost and services contract are fair."
"All Fortinet programs come at a good price."
"Compared to other products, the price is a little bit high."
"We found the price of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to be reasonable."
"Compared to other SIEMs, it has low pricing."
