We can automate event-based handling solutions, is stable, and is great for heavy traffic
The solution has very heavy features. Similar to when we get an app, usually, it's less than what we want. When we send all our logs over to the analyzer, it almost crashed on the first try. We must first get our logs tuned up and then set up the Fortinet FortiAnalyzer or it will crash. This is very complicated and heavy work for such a simple task, and it's a big issue for that app. The setup of the solution can be improved because it is currently complex. The cost of the solution is high and can be improved.

Helps with remote logging but reports need to be more detailed
We use ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for remote logging The tool's reports show activities. I would like to see more detailed reports. I have been working with the product for two years. I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is scalable. I rate it…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 or Syslog to an email address."
"The most valuable features of the solution are report generation and traffic logs."
"The program is stable and it gives me great visibility."
"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."
"What I like the most is the monitoring system."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the reports and the playbooks."
"With Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, it is easy to get reports and read specific logs."
"The reporting features, which offer customization, real-time insights, and compliance support, are particularly noteworthy aspects."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"It is stable."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The user interface is very good."
 

Cons

"I need some improvements in the support team since it is an area where there are certain shortcomings."
"I don't find Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to be as robust as Check Point Security Management."
"The traffic monitoring could be better, and stability could be improved."
"We should be able to do the patch upgrades in a centralized manner. This functionality is currently not there. It would be good to be able to do the firmware updates from one place and at the same time. Currently, if we want to update all appliances, we require FortiManager, which is another solution from Fortinet. Its documentation can be improved. It will be helpful for implementing the product and gaining knowledge for management purposes."
"It is very important that FAZ can support FortiController as the architecture designed for the network. FortiController should be registered in FAZ at least for event logs."
"The pricing could be better. They could work to make it more competitive on the market."
"It will be better if behavior or indicators of compromise were on the same licensing schema. Currently, it is an advanced feature that you have to purchase as an add-on. This is the reason we're trying to do the ELK so that we can integrate them and create those rules by using open-source software. It will also be better if it has some more integration with IT service management tools so that we can do endpoint protection and response based on those indicators of compromise or those behavior analysis rules that create events that can automatically flow. We can inject that data into a service incident ticket on our IT service management tool, and that way we can assign the ticket to the proper teams and respond right away. Currently, we only have integration with ServiceNow."
"Pricing-wise, it not affordable for the normal customer. Most of the people want to see different types of reporting, but FortiAnalyzer's fee is a little bit difficult."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"The scalability is limited."
