We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and VMware Aria Operations for Logs 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 most important feature is to be able to get reports or information about the state of all firewalls."
"We use this functionality every day, and obtain reports on things like how many people are using the VPN, which websites are being accessed, and whether hackers are trying to penetrate into our network."
"This solution offers one view of incident management which has been the most valuable feature."
"We like the fact that we can run minute-by-minute reporting form this solution."
"The user interface is good and it is quite easy to use."
"The solution does what it is supposed to. I want it to do reports for Fortinet and it does it well."
"The anti-virus protection it offers our clients is solid."
"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's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful."
"The events are notably more descriptive, aiding in security and event analysis. We've also integrated Sky Collector, providing valuable insights and solutions for troubleshooting."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"It would be good if the product could provide data about the websites users visit."
"The deployment of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is not complex, but integrating it with firewalls can take some time, depending on the number of firewalls."
"We are concerned about the compliance of our policy and institutional philosophy."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to search logs in integrated solutions."
"The UI can be more user-friendly for new users."
"I don't find Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to be as robust as Check Point Security Management."
"The technical support takes at least two days to reply on any ticket post raised on their website."
"The solution lacks business intelligence features. It's much too basic."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
