Centralized Log Management for Fortinet Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
Centralized Log Management for Fortinet Firewall (FortiGate) is the best feature. It helps the IT Team easy to manage Infrastructure having Multiple FortiGate devices.
With FortiAnalyzer, we can store logs of many FortiGate devices at FortiAnalyzer; and we have many advantages by doing this as below:
- Easy for debugging/troubleshooting: In the case of some issue related to multiple FortiGate devices, we can log-in to FortiAnalyzer to view logs of multiple FortiGate devices instead of log-in to multiple FortiGate devices to view logs.
- Provide overview statistics about Security Events at Entire Infrastructure: By collecting logs from Multiple FortiGate devices, we can view overall statistical information in FortiAnalyzer about Security Event (Web, Application, Threat, etc.).

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular.
Just the response time can be a litter bit better. And it should have option to inegrate with other vendors as well.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have implemented this in our environment since we have started using EMS and FGT. It provides an excellent overview of security products running in environment from one management console. Options of creating multiple administrative domains to manage FAZ. It's a great subsitute to Forti Manager as well. If someone doesn't want to invest in telemety as a whole.
Runs really efficient in environment.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are implementing telemetry in your environment, you have to make use of FortiAnalyzer or Forti Manager. Provides an extra layer of security and protection. Brings in ease of management of devices in telemetry. You dont have to buy separate SOC environment when you use FAZ. Prvovides and in built event manager as well. So many ways of saving cost and having an efficient security product.
Reporting is amazing

Excellent for my home use
I have 20+ online devices at home behind FWF-60E-DSL. After 1year uptime, I can see interesting outside attacks, and sometimes misconfigured fortiswitch device, and application control and network stats. The subscription is only $10 to $15 per month but I wish it could be cheaper. Overall, happy with the setup and found it to be useful and no issues for v6.0.2-build0205 180813 (GA).
Only good for testing
If you want to test the product the free trial is nice, but nothing more.
The t2.small VM just collapses by lack of memory resources after 3-4 weeks of light usage logging a single Fortigate serving 20 users and 12GB of logs.
This happened twice and had to rebuild the VM from scratch, a few months back with 6.0.2 and now with 6.0.4 upgraded to 6.2.0. One minute after rebooting it is so memory starved that only 22MB of RAM are free!
This could have been great as a gateway product before playing with "the big boys" 200F and up, but ended as an absolute waste of time.
