I'm able to see each IP separately, including user name and other stats, but the admin UX needs improvement.

What is most valuable?

  • Real time reports
  • Reports on who tried to attack
  • FortiGate monitor

How has it helped my organization?

Before using FortiAnalyzer, people would surf wherever and we could not monitor or see which computer in the company goes where. Everyone had the same IP. Now, using the analyzer, I am able to see each IP separately, including user name and other stats. One time the police called and told me someone from the company was breaking the law and I was able to monitor the specific computer.

What needs improvement?

They should learn from CheckPoint how to design UX for admins.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

No issues encountered.
