Fortinet FortiAnalyzer Reviews

We are using Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to manage services for our customers. We use it for log management.

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 interface is simple and easy to navigate.

One of the main disadvantages is not having a direct link to the security policy when you see something in the log. You should be able to right-click and go directly to the security policy. When you compare with Checkpoint, they are very good with reporting and logging, and when you right-click on the log you can go to the policy and edit it.

In the next release, I would like to have a feature added where you can right-click and it takes you directly to the policy to edit it.

I have been working with Fortinet FortiAnalyzer for four years.

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is stable.

This is solution is very scalable.

I don't have any issues with technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. Everything with Fortinet is straightforward.

When comparing with other solutions such as Checkpoint and Cisco, Fortinet is priced well.

I am an expert in Juniper and Fortinet at a professional level.

Previously in another company, we were service providers, and I did the implementation for service delivery cargo, and for an enterprise company, I did the firewall migration.

I would recommend Fortinet FortiAnalyzer.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are using Fortinet FortiAnalyzer for analyzing network traffic and it provides us with log analytics.

Overall we are satisfied with all the features the solution provides.

There are a lot of solutions on the market and Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is limited. It cannot be used across multiple vendors. They can improve by advancing their technology.

The solution could improve by having better integration and support with Apple, Linux, and Microsoft solutions.

I have been using Fortinet FortiAnalyzer for approximately five years.

We have been making changes to the cloud signatures and categories because the market is changing and Fortinet FortiAnalyzer has been stable and reliable.

The solution is scalable but there are additional costs if you want to increase the scalability.

We have been satisfied with the support.

The installation was not difficult.

We did the implementation ourselves.

In the local market sometimes people are being charged more than other solutions. Although the market is competitive, legitimate suppliers do not receive a large enough discount to pass onto the customers. 

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is not suitable for everyone, it is best suited for mid-sized businesses but if the price could be reduced there would be more customers in all-sized businesses.

I rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a seven out of ten.

I use Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to analyze network logs for increased security protection.

We can see and know our network traffic graphically.

Based on the logs of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer you can have it trigger actions. For example, if the log has a word or a sentence you specified it can send an alert to an email address or SNMP trap.

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer cannot use as SNMP Manager so cannnot receive any queries of SNMP. They should add this feature in the future to help manage solutions.

I have been using Fortinet FortiAnalyzer for approximately eight years.

I have found the solution to be stable. However, when the computer's resources are low the analysis becomes slow. There could be some optimization done.

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is scalable. It can handle small to large-scale analysis.

The initial installation is easy. You set up the interface IP address and then you can have access. If you use the web GUI, it's very easy to connect to FortiGate and other Fortinet solutions.

If a company purchases FortiGate they should purchase Fortinet FortiAnalyzer together. The reason is FortiGate does not have an interface for analyzing logs but if you have the Fortinet FortiAnalyzer it can analyze logs and give reports on the logs giving you more protection.

I rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a nine out of ten.

The anti-virus protection it offers our clients is solid.

Currently, no solution can offer you 100% protection from viruses such as WannaCry ransomware. Fortinet should strive to improve their prevention systems.

I have been using this solution for about two to three years.

This solution is stable.

FortiAnalyzer does slow down when there is a heavy load of users, but it still does its job. Also, when many logs are generated throughout many sessions, the Analyser slows down. 

The technical support is not very reliable. Sometimes it takes them up to a week to get back to us. 

The initial setup is not complex. The basic setup takes roughly 30 minutes to one hour — reconfiguration can take up to one day.

If you have Fortinet Firewall, you must implement FortiAnalyzer because, without the Analyzer, you can't generate the polls. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of seven. I would give them a higher rating if they improved their scalability.

The feature I find most valuable is the reporting customization.

Areas for improvement would be the default template reporting and the user-friendliness of the report customization. In the next release, I would like to see more information about tracking intelligence.

I have been using this product for over five years.

This solution is stable.

This solution is scalable.

Technical support is fine, but they could improve their understanding of the customer environment when troubleshooting.

The initial setup is ok.

The pricing of this product should be about 10-20% lower.

This is a good product, but I think there are better ones for log analytics. I would rate this product seven out of ten.

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is a complete package for managing our equipment.

I have been using Fortinet FortiAnalyzer for approximately six years.

The support could be better for Fortinet FortiAnalyzer here in Mexico.

I would rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a nine out of ten.
