We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and NetCrunch based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The solution provides good standardized reports and is easy to troubleshoot."
"The log events are quite useful for us."
"This solution offers one view of incident management which has been the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"FortiAnalyzer's best feature is centralized log analysis. It's based on SQL database, so I can fully customize my report, chart-wise and log-wise, and can create as many reports as I want without any limit."
"The IBS (Intent Based Segmentation) and application web filtering are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to analyze data in real-time using AR features to pull data from the industrial DB. You can know what is going on and see in milliseconds where the network is underperforming."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"I'm looking for something more efficient to analyze different foreign things. That's why FortiSIEM could compete with FortiAnalyzer."
"Technical support could respond to queries faster."
"The reports are good, but they are over-summarized."
"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."
"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."
"They could improve the user interface a bit."
"The solution should be more price competitive."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer could improve by having better integration with other vendors."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
