FortiAnalyzer Centralized Logging/Reporting (100 managed devices)

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.

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.

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

I have five years of experience with Fortinet FortiAnalyzer.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

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.

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

The initial setup is not complex; it is straightforward.

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.

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.

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

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.

Neutral

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.

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

The costs are a few million Qatar riyals.

I use Fortinet FortiAnalyzer  as our main investigation tool for some issues related to network traffic analysis and penetration detection. My company relies heavily on it to gather deep information about the network and analyze traffic thoroughly.

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer  provides a lot of visibility over network traffic and helps track incidents effectively.

The usability and the information that Fortinet FortiAnalyzer provides are very valuable. It offers many details within a good dashboard, making it easy to use. The visibility it gives us over traffic and incidents is especially beneficial. It provides deep insights into network performance, allowing for efficient traffic analysis and investigation.

The only area where it could improve is in providing better training for the tool. Some training would be beneficial, even though it's not entirely necessary for its usage.
