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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The analyzer is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are customizing reports, and the ability to drill down to display critical information in real-time."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is a complete package for managing our equipment."
"The most important feature is to be able to get reports or information about the state of all firewalls."
"It gives us reporting features, which are helpful in the case of troubleshooting and audit purposes."
"I like its simplicity. It is straightforward. We get reports and emails about the logs, and that's it."
"The report templates are valuable. It works very well, and integrations also work well."
"The features that our customers have found most valuable are their different type of reports including the drill down report, as well as the flexibility to connect to any number of appliances which can be connected to it centrally."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
 

Cons

"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer needs to improve its pricing flexibility."
"The FortiAnalyzer is not good at managing multi-version environments. If all your FortiGate are at different versions in the field, that's difficult. The one thing we didn't like is the fact you have to have 100% of your environment at the same release, which is not pleasant, to have it fully functional. You can have a different release, but to have it fully functional 100% of your environment has to be the same release."
"The solution is expensive."
"Pricing should be about 10-20% lower."
"I need some improvements in the support team since it is an area where there are certain shortcomings."
"The solution could use more graphics and be more specific in the dashboard. This way, I'm able to understand everything and effectively understand what's going on, including what's incoming and outgoing. Right now, I have to look up everything. I need a dashboard so that I can see specific items right there in one place."
"When somebody is new to the system they find it difficult to perform certain operations, like backups, and to see where the reports are."
"The technical support takes at least two days to reply on any ticket post raised on their website."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other products, the price is a little bit high."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is very expensive."
"It is expensive for small business customers. It is only available for customers with a high number of firewalls to manage or to report. If a customer has only five boxes of FortiGate, the price of FortiAnalyzer can be more than the five boxes. So, we can't easily put this solution for small business customers."
"There is a license needed to use this solution."
"Its price is okay for us. Fortinet products are cheaper than other solutions."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is quite an expensive tool."
"The number of licenses required directly corresponds with the number of devices connected."
"I do not know the price of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer. I did not pay for it, but I know the price of other Fortinet products. They are not cheap. I am from Poland. We have Zloty, not Euro, so for us, everything is expensive."
"The product is cheap."
