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.

"The product works well with other products."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."

"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The initial setup is straightforward"

Cons

"I feel that Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is a little bit heavy, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The deployment is complex and has room for improvement."
"Technical support could respond to queries faster."
"The technical support is not very good."
"Their in-house technical support is extremely slow to respond. We have our own in-house team to manage issues so clients don't have to wait over two weeks for a response to issues."
"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."
"I don't find Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to be as robust as Check Point Security Management."
"The integration with other vendors for log collection could be enhanced."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"The scalability is limited."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"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."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
