What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Fortinet FortiAnalyzer?

The pricing model is subscription-based. It involves payment for both the license and ongoing support. I would rate it seven out of ten.

I would rate FortiAnalyzer's price a seven out of ten, with ten being the most expensive.

The product’s price is much better than its competitors.

I won't say the solution is too costly since it is available at a fair price.

We pay for an annual license.

The solution can be a bit expensive. I cannot speak to the exact costs. There are no hidden fees attached to the service.

I cannot speak of the exact price. Someone else manages the contract. However, you do get good value for your money. It's not overly expensive. As it is on-premises, you do need some on-prem resources. You need a traditional hypervisor and need the ability to host the solution on your premises.

I'm not familiar with the cost point, because I am more of a technical person and I do not do pre-sales or sales.

We do need to pay for a license, and the payment is made yearly. There are no extra costs associated with the product beyond the main licensing fee. It is an expensive solution.

Base features used to be priced lower but now are a bit higher. We have some requirements and combine more than 100 showrooms to the SDN with the MLPS connection. Compared to other products, the price is a little bit high. I rate pricing an eight out of ten.

There is a license needed to use this solution.

I'm not sure about the exact licensing costs.

We pay a standard licensing fee on a yearly basis. The pricing is complex since we need to add some other products or tools to assure our infrastructure, then the amount of every one of the items of software otherwise the solution is expensive in the end.

I rate FortiAnalyzer six out of 10 for affordability. FortiAnalyzer pricing isn't steady. It changes each quarter or year. That's one of the main problems in West Abaco because most businesses here are small or medium-sized enterprises. It makes budgeting complicated. You always want to pay the same price on the subscription. At the same time, I think Fortinet pricing is reasonable compared to all the others. The value you get from Fortinet is better because it beats other vendors in terms of performance, functionality, and efficiency. New firewalls like Alexa are trying to compete in pricing, and people are looking into it to see, but Fortinet is good for now. However, they need to work on keeping the price consistent.

The enterprise version of this solution is costly. We have considered FortiAuthenticator for network control, but the pricing was focused on the larger companies and didn't suit our needs as a smaller business. The pricing for this solution is on an annual basis. Databases, a virus scanner, and intrusion detection is included.

FortiAnalyzer's price could be lower, but it is cheaper than competitors like Palo Alto, Forcepoint, or Sophos. The basic license is available on a yearly basis, but some other licenses can be for three, six, or nine months as required. There are no hidden costs associated with this product.

FortiAnalyzer was in the product itself, but two years ago they split it from Fortinet. We paid the license two years ago.

I can't remember if they have a new license for software maintenance. They have maintenance that is charged annually. Unlike a firewall, they have a UTM license you need to pay annually and then only an annual maintenance cost for the hardware, for FortiAnalyzer. I'm not sure what the exact price is at the moment. However, my understanding is the pricing could be better.

It is acceptable for on-premises, but it is expensive for the cloud.

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

I believe that these devices were procured with a five-year maintenance and support license up front. I work at a university, so the vendor provides a considerable higher ed discount.

The license depends on the storage capacity. If you want to take a log of up to 1 gigabyte daily, it's free, if I remember correctly. But if you want 5 gigabytes daily, it's licensed at different prices. 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.

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.

The pricing isn't the least expensive on the market. They could work to improve it to make it more interesting for other companies. Adjusting pricing might be a good move.

When you compare with other firewall vendors, FortiAnalyzer is quite competitive in pricing. They are very aggressive as well.

I don't handle the licensing or the costs. I can't speak to how much it is for our company or if it is expensive or affordable. I'm not privy to that kind of information. That said, it's my understanding, as a comparison, that Fortinet products are cheaper than their Cisco counterparts.

Its price is okay for us. Fortinet products are cheaper than other solutions.

It is not very expensive when customers understand the value of this product and the importance of the information that it provides for security.

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

The pricing of this solution is fair, and it is based on what you can manage. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees.

This program is quite expensive. We have to renew the hardware every year and the hardware is very expensive. And we need to renew the licensing for application control too.

The price is quite expensive. Fortinet products are very expensive. That is something which they should also look at, because if you compare Fortinet product to, say, Sophos for example, Fortinet is really high and that's the only thing which is a drawback for most users. Although their plan is a value-for-money appliance, the price is expensive.

We have around 12 devices and yearly we spend approximately $14,000.

Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis. We have several products including Fortinet Wireless, FortiGate Firewalls, and FortiAnalyzer, which are bundled together and cost approximately $50,000 USD annually. We don't pay anything else in addition to the standard licensing fees.

All Fortinet programs come at a good price.

The cost and pricing should be in accordance with the calculation of log storage capacity for a time period required for historical analysis.
