"It supports SQL for logging and reporting. Log data is inserted into the SQL database for log view and report generation."
"Separating sections or conditions on Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is quite clear."
"Many of my clients are financial institutions that transmit files from around the country across a VPN. In a setup like this, it's helpful to have a centralized dashboard to manage firewalls and other security solutions across a distributed environment. You can do all sorts of analysis and configure it to trigger alarms."
"Support is helpful."
"Its robust security and performance are the two main features. We also use the log reporting feature."
"The user interface is good and it is quite easy to use."
"I have found incident management and also identifying new threats, analyzing the network traffic, and finding out the issues with the network traffic such as any security issues to be valuable. I also like the compliance reports."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
"It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."

"From my point of view, at this time, the solution isn't lacking any features or functionalities."
"One thing we struggled with FortiAnalyzer was integration with SIEM. We also had issues with the new threats and APTs. There were false positives, so we needed to have some ratings related to false positives."
"The only issue that I can see is with the cost. For example, if you buy support for one year, you are messed up next year. It's better to buy another gateway."
"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."
"When it comes to pushing logs to a SIEM, most of the time we have some issues when it comes to filtering."
"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."

"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"The support needs improvement."
"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."
