    Provides robust cybersecurity capabilities with excellent customer support

    Reviewed on Jun 30, 2025
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    Fortinet FortiAnalyzer  is used for vulnerabilities with cyber attacks.

    The clients are in different industries, including private sectors such as retail, industry, healthcare, financial, banks, and others. There are no government clients.

    For clients in banking, financial, and retail sectors, Fortinet FortiAnalyzer  prepares them for attacks and helps prevent security incidents.

    What is most valuable?

    The predictive analytics of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is very valuable for clients because this solution has a complete architecture for cybersecurity.

    The ability to create custom reports and dashboards has helped improve understanding and provided clients with better cybersecurity solutions through the analyzer.

    The integration of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer with SIEM  solutions and other security solutions is very important because client solutions are not heterogeneous. Clients typically have multiple solution providers, making communication between all systems crucial.

    What needs improvement?

    Fortinet FortiAnalyzer can become even better with integration with other product providers and solution providers.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have five years of experience with Fortinet FortiAnalyzer.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution is scalable.

    How are customer service and support?

    The customer service and technical support with Fortinet is very good. I have experience with two different client service models: on-premise solutions and MSP services on a monthly basis. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate it as nine.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    Some clients did move to Fortinet from other solutions before, and they have had good experiences with the solution.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is not complex; it is straightforward.

    What was our ROI?

    The return on investment is very good, and the price-performance ratio is excellent. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate their return on investment as eight.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    I have experience with pricing, licensing, and setup costs as I prepare quotes for clients. While Fortinet FortiAnalyzer might be more expensive than some other solutions, it remains very competitive in the market.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I do not know the main differences between Fortinet and Cisco or Fortinet and Palo Alto.

    What other advice do I have?

    I have experience with Fortinet solutions and am familiar with FortiReporter, FortiManager, and Fortinet FortiAnalyzer.

    I sell FortiGate  but work only in commercial roles. My clients do not use Fortinet FortiAnalyzer with AWS , though I work with various cloud providers including AWS , Google, Azure , Huawei, and IBM for cloud solutions, both private and public.

    The solution is very important for clients to complete their architecture in cybersecurity. Clients need the cyber analyzer and reporting analyzer to complete their security posture.

    Overall rating: 9 out of 10.

    I think Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is the best security solution in the world. It's similar to Splunk, and they are doing a good job.

    I am creating dashboards for my analysis, and it's not too complicated to make them.

    The importance of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer's integration with Security Information and Event Management  rates at seven or eight.

    What needs improvement?

    The UI needs to be improved in future updates.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Fortinet FortiAnalyzer for two years.

    What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

    The deployment was very easy and took one hour to install the product.

    How are customer service and support?

    The technical support deserves a rating of ten.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Management becomes centralized with effective logging

    Reviewed on May 20, 2025
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    I use Fortinet FortiAnalyzer  to consolidate all our logs and traffic details in one box with a single GUI.

    What is most valuable?

    The features that are most effective for me in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer  are easy to manage. Fortinet FortiManager  is also a great product to manage multi-site management options and other tools.

    The capability of logging in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is great because there is no need to go to each individual box to check the traffic details. We can collect everything in Analyzer and check from a single console.

    What needs improvement?

    Fortinet FortiAnalyzer could be improved by enabling features such as predictive analysis. We should implement AI features, correlation of different logs, and have predictive analysis, including alerts for policy violations.

    AI features would enhance Fortinet FortiAnalyzer significantly.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have worked with Fortinet FortiAnalyzer for almost three years.

    What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

    The deployment of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is very easy because we have it virtual.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The stability of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is consistently stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The scalability of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is quite normal and easy to scale, with no restrictions or limitations.

    Scaling Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is expensive.

    How are customer service and support?

    The technical support from Fortinet is adequate, but it varies case by case. Some issues are resolved easily with good support, while sometimes it is less effective. I would rate it as average seven.

    I am not satisfied with the skills of the support team. The response time is faster, but the level one team has some shortages in skills. When issues are escalated, we get better feedback.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Neutral

    What was our ROI?

    Fortinet FortiAnalyzer saves time, but it's debatable on any savings from its use.

    I cannot approximate any savings in percentage terms or comment on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) because we don't have any savings. We invest in other products in addition to this firewalling.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    I manage licensing by purchasing based on three years of support and bundled licenses.

    The costs are a few million Qatar riyals.

    What other advice do I have?

    I am a customer of Palo Alto, and my email is abduljabbar@km.qa.

    My job title is engineer.

    We have Fortinet FortiGate , Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, Fortinet FortiManager , and Fortinet FortiSandbox .

    I am a user and customer only with Fortinet.

    Only one person is generally required for the maintenance of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer.

    I would rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer eight out of ten overall.

    It is possible for us to discuss Fortinet FortiManager at a later date.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Hybrid Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    There are no extra expenses included aside from the licensing fee for Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, which I am paying annually.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Before choosing Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, I evaluated some alternatives.

    What other advice do I have?

    If I were to give a rating for the price of the product, it would be eight out of ten.

    Fortinet FortiAnalyzer does support compliance and auditing processes within my organization, and overall, I would recommend Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to other network organizations for security.

    There are about five to six users who have access to the product, mostly administrators and engineers.

    I am doing maintenance for Fortinet FortiAnalyzer myself, and I would rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer as seven out of ten. The reason it's not higher is that while it's a good mark, I see potential for improvement.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
