What advice do you have for others considering Fortinet FortiAnalyzer?

We recently switched to the product and are in the stages of a learning curve. I rate the overall product a five out of ten.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I would advise others never to jump into upgrading to the latest firmware; wait until the present environment products are being used. There have been bad releases in the past, so everyone needs to carefully analyze options.

Users should never upgrade to the newest firmware. In the last decade, we have learned to always wait and see. Fortinet has had some bad releases. You must have good quality assurance that the product is bug-free. It is easy to maintain the solution. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The log management capability has benefited our organization, and it is important because we need to write and send proactive information that playbooks can cater to, and the product also prevents my company's systems from being attacked. I recommend the product to others since it is easy to work with and it works very well. I don't know much about the artificial integration capabilities of the product, but the solution works to detect and analyze threats. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

For cybersecurity, my company normally uses the asset list and applies it to some applications like an antivirus or IDS system. One of the product's tasks is to provide a firewall to check the effects of a customer's network from outside. The automation of reports that is possible with the product is good, especially because Fortinet has a lot of products for the customers in the market, including those like the government, banking, and other small businesses. Many people in Vietnam use Bitbucket since they don't have much money. With the setup of the firewall, the traffic gets controlled. When you start the firewall very high, I believe the 30 percent time taken to assess risks is very high. The product becomes slow, and it may have an impact on the server. The solution has impacted our company's operational costs by reducing them by 30 percent. The performance offered by the product is high only when the network traffic is normal. It is one of the best firewall products. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

I recommend it because it's a perfect solution. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

It serves as an excellent tool, especially for addressing compliance requirements. Analyzing traffic logs and monitoring network impressions, both inbound and outbound traffic, are essential needs that this tool effectively fulfills. Implementing it has proven to be highly beneficial. Overall, I would rate it seven out of ten.

I would rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a seven out of ten. We are paying for vendor maintenance support, and so far, the maintenance has been minimal. I recommend completing training before utilizing Fortinet FortiAnalyzer. I was suddenly tasked with using the solution when my organization decided to change technologies, and it was initially challenging to understand how it operates.

I would rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a nine out of ten. Fortinet FortiAnalyzer does not require maintenance after the initial report setup. We simply have to remove and add FortiGate as needed for each report. Before utilizing Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, individuals should determine the type of reporting they require. Additionally, they ought to be acquainted with FortiGate before endeavoring to use FortiAnalyzer.

We need to have a license for individual devices to use the solution. We end up in a loop when we try to access the websites and different routes. We also have to provide the options ourselves for all our queries. The process would be better if reports and records were more readily available. Cisco Meraki is an online portal that provides organized and in-depth reports. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I would recommend the solution to those seeking a detailed view of what is going on in their environment. Also, I wish that a centralized dashboard is made available in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer so that a company does not have to look for a better alternative elsewhere since a centralized dashboard would suffice their requirements. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I give the solution a six out of ten. I do not recommend the solution.

We are a Fortinet partner. I'd recommend the solution to others. I would rate the product eight out of ten. While I do not use it often, I find it can be difficult to identify when we have an issue to identify what happened. It would be helpful if there was some sort of business intelligence tool attached to it. Or, perhaps it is due to the fact that we may lack a certain level of training in this area.

We're customers and end-users. We are using the latest version of the solution typically. I'd recommend the solution to other users. I would rate the solution ten out of ten.

Based on current trends, people are shifting towards FortiGate devices for their attractive value proposition and exceptional performance. FortiGate is the go-to choice for firewalls. And for us, along with FortiGate, I'll even go with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer. I rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Overall, I'd rate the product eight out of ten in terms of its functionality. I have been pleased with its capabilities so far. I'd recommend the solution to others.

The solution has good availability and provides good information. A few features can be improved to a degree. I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

My advice to others is they have to assess well what kind of specific function or what kind of solution they are looking for. I recommend this solution to others, but it depends on their usage. I rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a seven out of ten.

I'm working with the latest version of the solution. We've done on-premises and cloud deployments. Usually, clients who don't have SIEM or Nag solutions find FortiAnalyzer quite effective as it's going to give them identification of the user activity reports on different IO devices and the usage of devices. It gives you visibility of your entire infrastructure. I'd recommend the solution. It's very user-friendly. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We are a customer and end-user. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I rate FortiAnalyzer nine out of 10. My advice to anyone implementing FortiAnalyzer is to read about a product. If you do your homework, it's easier to set up. The next thing is to understand your environment, especially if you have multiple links over your network that leave you more vulnerable to attacks. The more links you have, the more exposed you are to attacks. It is possible that one link can be vulnerable, and you won't take notice.FortiAnalyzer is the best choice.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are partners for Fortinet. So we are planning to use the FortiEDR, and then we're going to expand. We only use FortiAnalyzer for internal purposes. Our company is using the most up-to-date solution. I'd advise potential users to look for a partner who knows how to handle the product and use their knowledge to give you quick training for your own people. The learning curve is not that easy. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer an eight out of ten.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. I can recommend this solution for other users.

I would recommend the solution to others. We have been happy with its overall capabilities. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

This is a good product, but I think there are better ones for log analytics. I would rate this product seven out of ten.

I would rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a nine out of ten.

I rate FortiAnalyzer eight out of 10. It does an outstanding job of what it does. But the vendor doesn't necessarily live up to the hype, which is why it only got an eight out of 10. There's a lot of hype about the Fortinet security fabric. But for the large customers that buy their large firewalls and deploy them in infrastructure components, the Fortinet fabric does not work. If you are considering FortiAnalyzer, I suggest having a complete understanding of how your firewall infrastructure works in terms of what data you're going to and from it for analysis and what you're looking for in that analysis.

I would rate FortiAnalyzer 10 out of 10

I rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a seven out of ten.

We're Fortinet partners. We have a business relationship with the company. I'd give the solution a rating of six out of ten. I'd still recommend it to other users, however. If the reporting, interface, and tech support were a bit better, I'd rate it higher.

If you have critical objects to protect or critical data to protect, then you should go for FortiAnalyzer. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer at eight.

We just installed our latest version a few weeks ago. It's the brand-new version of the product. For those considering the solution, I've been told that it's cheaper to buy Fortinet or FortiGate instead of buying Cisco ASA. If cost is a concern, it might be a good idea to look at Fortinet. We are just customers and end-users of Fortinet. We don't have a business relationship with them. Overall, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. It's largely been very good.

I would absolutely recommend FortiAnalyzer. Fortinet products have internal logging mechanisms if they have internal disks or stores. But if you have multiple location SD-WAN branches for multiple areas you are controlling with FortiGate, the hardware doesn't give any disk or storage, only limited storage. So if you want to go further on the logging, you have limited options, maybe one week or two weeks. So if you're using a FortiAnalyzer in the SD-WAN branches, you have a centralized logging mechanism, so you can collect all the logs in a central location and you can make the correlations or analytics with all the devices. Otherwise, you can go device, device to see what is happening on each site. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a seven. To improve this rating, as I mentioned, I need to see the older bugs, the graphical user experience, made better, like Check Point. Check Point is more visual than FortiAnalyzer. If the customer has experience with the Check Point logging mechanism, they will seek additional features in the FortiAnalyzer, but it has to be more visual. So as I said, the graphical issues must improve.

We use different deployment versions of Fortinet solutions. We use, for example, 200E and 200D and 100 too. These are the most popular. Right now, use the virtual environment. This is a product that is very good for when you're using a Fortinet ecosystem. If you have a mix of vendors, it's not recommended. Overall, I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been quite happy with their offering.

There are plenty of solutions. Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is very helpful if you are really into FortiGate devices. We handle other firewalls, but 80% to 85% of them are Fortinet, so it is a very good solution because it has native integration with everything, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have less than 50% of Fortinet firewalls. If you have agnostic technology, you can integrate all of them into the same solution. FortiAnalyzer is only for FortiGates right now. I would rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a nine out of ten. It just needs more integration with IT service management tools for endpoint detection and response, which is the main objective.

I would recommend this solution, but it also depends on the organization. We are using this solution, and we are getting good results. I would rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a ten out of ten. It is the best.

We're Fortinet end-users. I was on older versions and now I'm with a newer version. People have faced many issues after downloading the latest update so I tend to keep one update back from the newest one to avoid issues. I'd advise other potential users that, first of all, if they have Fortinet products in their environment, they should consider FortiAnaylzer. If they don't have it, they shouldn't consider it. They need to have Fortinet appliances. Secondly, it is a very easy configuration, so companies will not have any problems configuring the FortiAnaylzer. It doesn't require a lot of resources. We're going to bring a dedicated server for our FortiAnaylzer due to the fact that it is a bit of a predefined virtual machine that we can download from Fortinet's side. If you don't want to go deep in the reports and logs, it can rely on the built-in reporting tools in your appliances. If you happen to have three Fortinet solutions in your environment then you need to have a FortiAnaylzer as it helps a lot in troubleshooting. It helps a lot with predicting everything that you might see happening on a lot on your network. You will need to have FortiAnaylzer due to the fact that the reporting is not that advanced in the appliances. Overall, I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. If it was more automated and added in some AI elements, I would rate it higher.

If you have Fortinet Firewall, you must implement FortiAnalyzer because, without the Analyzer, you can't generate the polls. On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of seven. I would give them a higher rating if they improved their scalability.

We are an official partner and distributor of Fortinet in Maharashtra and Goa. We have only Fortinet products, and we are the sales stockist and we also offer our services. We have a limited portfolio and handle products such as FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiSwitch, and FortiED as well as FortiAnalyzer. You can see in the Gartner report, Fortinet remains in the top tier of products, alongside Palo Alto and Check Point. Even Sophos and Sonic Wall aren't as highly ranked as Fortinet. There isn't much competition locally on the market here. Palo Alto is technically a competitor, however, it lacks a few things that Fortinet already has. I would definitely recommend the product. In fact, I would recommend the whole Fortinet portfolio to each and every client. Of course, which product would depend on the client requirements. All are excellent. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. Technical support is lacking, however, we have an internal team that can fulfill those needs.

We are a reseller. We have some customers who use this product, and I help them with the configuration of the basic features. Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is useful for seeing the problems of the network and analyzing what is happening in your network. If you have an attack or some security problem, you can immediately see the information in the logs. I would rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer an eight out of ten.

It is kind of a very good network packet analyzer solution. It does what a network analyzer should do, and it does it very well. In terms of firewalls and using network analyzers, Fortinet has always been the leader among the leaders. Fortinet provides very good features and products. Specifically, if you want to use Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, you need to have a FortiGate environment. You need at least one FortiGate or other similar product in your network. So, if you are already using or are into Fortinet products, then FortiAnalyzer is a very good product to add on top of other products. Having only FortiAnalyzer in your network is kind of useless. I would rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a nine out of ten. It's a very good product.

I am an expert in Juniper and Fortinet at a professional level. Previously in another company, we were service providers, and I did the implementation for service delivery cargo, and for an enterprise company, I did the firewall migration. I would recommend Fortinet FortiAnalyzer. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are Fortinet partners. For those organizations that need to use a product for reporting or some analysis of logs, this is a good solution. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. The features are basic, and there's not too much business intelligence behind them. If it offered more of that, I'd rate it higher.

This solution, at every stage, does what I expect it to. My advice for anybody researching this solution is to consider the size of their organization. If it is very big and they need to retain a log for a specific number of days or a period of time, for example, going back to thirty days and they also need to analyze the traffic in real-time, then FortiAnalyzer would be ideal. However, the same service is now available on FortiCloud, which is something else that I highly recommend. With other solutions, such as NetFlow Analyzer, you can really customize your report to what you expect. Together you can insert logs, you can customize your reports with the logs that you're receiving, unlike with FortiAnalyzer. This is a major drawback. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I rate this solution a 6 out of 10. It is a good security firmware for automation. From a single dashboard we can get all the logs and traffic information on our firewall. We can get more visibility, so there is no need for the engineer to go in each and every firewall to get information. Even if we don't use the FortiAnalyzer, we can use a FortiCloud to send a log. But we are still using a cloud-based solution. We are using our internet bandwidth to send logs. That's in real-time or scheduling. If bandwidth is the key factor, I will not recommend the customer to use a FortiCloud. And even if you are using the FortiCloud, the basic free version, you have a retention log for only seven days. If you want to have a longer retention log, let's say for one year, then you need to create a subscription with FortiGate. In that case, it is better to have a FortiAnalyzer on-premise. Always try to listen to your customer.

Anyone who asks me about a Fortinet product, I'll give that person a thumbs-up. So far, Fortinet has been the best for me. It's a value-for-money appliance, it has an easy to use interface, and it gives you exactly what you want. The only drawback would be the price.

We are using the private cloud deployment model. I would rate the solution nine out of ten. I don't have much to compare it to, but it's been fairly good.

FortiAnalyzer is a good product, and anybody who implements this solution will get good results from it. The support from Fortinet is awesome. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I will definitely recommend this solution to others. My rating is a ten out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to somebody considering it. The relevance of this solution will depend on the case. If you are considering this solution I would ask what you really intend to accomplish with it and what model you want. It's going to be based on the data you need to protect and analyze. If I had to choose between FortiSIEM and FortiAnalyzer for log position it's better to go for SIEM. We all know that we can do a lot more with SIEM than just a log collection. Log collection is included in FortiSIEM; so, why acquire FortiAnalyzer is you can have FortiSIEM? I would rate FortiAnalyzer a 6.5 out of ten.

My only experience is with a very important customer, the most recognized in Latin America.
