Comprehensive log analysis has improved traffic monitoring and streamlined risk mitigation

  • February 17, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I am using Fortinet FortiAnalyzer along with the analyzer for traffic monitoring and event checking. It is effective for analyzing traffic purposes.

I use Fortinet FortiAnalyzer for event monitoring and traffic monitoring to generate different types of reports for internal, external, internet traffic, or local LAN traffic.

I am looking for FortiNAC. I requested it from the local Fortinet manager and Forti sales manager. I contacted and emailed them to provide FortiNAC solution for my organization.

What is most valuable?

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is a very comprehensive analyzer providing detailed analyzing features and customizable reports. I can get customization and custom reports, and there are many functions available. It is very good for any organization.

Log management in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is excellent, as it stores approximately two years of logs.

Using Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, I analyze vulnerability risks and threats and sort out problems accordingly. I then create policies and mitigate the risk based on my findings.

I have created many customizable reports in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer. I have customized the reports to schedule them and generate reports every day that are sent to my email.

I am not using any SIEMs, but Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is the best and looks like a SIEM. I did not integrate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer with any security information and event management solutions.

With Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, I have streamlined the process to mitigate risks and save time to get event information on any type of threats, risks, and unwanted traffic. Risk and time are saved, and it is valuable for any organization.

What needs improvement?

I think technical support should be better. Sometimes support from Fortinet does not help with creating policies or configuration issues and directly routes to the service integrator. A little more help from Fortinet support service would be appreciated.

Technical support should make some improvements.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the stability of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the scalability of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer nine.

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

I did not compare Fortinet FortiAnalyzer with a product from any other vendor, and I did not consider any other options before working with Fortinet FortiAnalyzer.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup for Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is very simple. I deployed this analyzer within a very short time, in under one hour, with the help of the knowledge base from the Fortinet website and Fortinet documentation. I deployed it myself without any third-party help.

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

For pricing, I rate it a little high but nine.

What other advice do I have?

Fortinet updates the features and services in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer from time to time. From my point of view, everything is good. I believe I get the best results from the analyzer. I am only working with Fortinet FortiAnalyzer. I recommend it to other organizations to purchase Fortinet and Fortinet products. I also initiated purchasing the product for my OT network. I am providing this review with an overall rating of ten.

  • November 03, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I am using Fortinet and Red Hat myself as a consultant. I am dealing with Fortinet products and can provide information about them. I am working with Fortinet products, including firewalls and other Fortinet products. I am working with Fortinet products such as Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager. I use Fortinet FortiAnalyzer.

What is most valuable?

I find it easy to deploy Fortinet products, including the firewall, Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, and many other Fortinet products.

The interface of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is intuitive enough. Fortinet provides training through many training documents and videos.

It is very important to integrate Fortinet products for my customers because it provides many network information for them.

What needs improvement?

I don't know what the main room for improvement is for Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, but perhaps I don't have much experience, so I cannot answer this question comprehensively.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Fortinet FortiAnalyzer for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I do not recommend Fortinet FortiAnalyzer for bigger companies because it is not scalable enough.

How are customer service and support?

I always ask Fortinet support about their technical support, and I think they are good.

I rate their technical support as seven out of ten. Sometimes they can answer the question immediately, but they could be more quick.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Palo Alto also provides log management and has this product, but I have never used Palo Alto.

How was the initial setup?

I find it easy to deploy Fortinet products, including the firewall, Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, and many other Fortinet products.

I usually help my customers with the implementation of Fortinet products, and they always use Fortinet products.

What was our ROI?

I think Fortinet FortiAnalyzer has fifty percent market share in my region.

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

The pricing of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is okay. For smaller companies, the pricing is acceptable.

User successfully navigates setup and configuration, finds value in security analysis and support

  • July 30, 2025
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I saw some projects where clients use Fortinet now. They have Fortinet in their LAN, so they need to continue to have this solution. It is very difficult to change. We know that IT managers do not want to change anything. They just make it better with what they have now, not to change. For Fortinet, the solution that I used most recently is Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager.

What is most valuable?

For us in Latin America, the best features of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer are the solutions that combine SD-WAN and security in the same box. I think that is what differentiates Fortinet from the others. Almost every manufacturer has a similar structure for monitoring and collecting logs. To have all the information about clients, networks, or security information, you typically need two platforms.

We use the information from Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to show our clients and provide consultancy for them. We advise them, 'You need to make an action plan for this problem,' or help them understand the vulnerabilities of the security and create an action plan for better security practices.

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is good for that, but we need to have a team that knows about the information that is collected. You need to know the platform.

What needs improvement?

When I had contact with FortiManager and Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, it was not so easy, but with some reading or training on the platform, it becomes easy to use.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate Fortinet's customer service a nine, on a scale of 1 to 10.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup for Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is easy. It is not so difficult. You need to have some training, but it is okay.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

In the past, I did research to know different SIEM solutions because it is very common; each company has its own SIEM. Cisco has its own SIEM, so they work very well with their Cisco ecosystem. But we have clients with heterogeneous solutions, and we try to look for a SIEM solution that is universal. You can use Cisco, Huawei, or Aruba, and the SIEM solution can integrate and work with any kind of solution. I also saw something about IBM.

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer integrates with SIEM, but I do not know about the integration with other kinds of solutions.

What other advice do I have?

I am a user of HPE and not a partner yet. We are a partner with Huawei.

I was in presales, so I know Zabbix and Grafana. We know how it works, but we do not have the responsibility to set up the solution. I communicate to our clients that we have the solutions of Zabbix and Grafana, and it is possible for them to see the information of the LAN, the WLAN, and the link.

Here where I am working now, we use the solution of XDR and NDR from Trend Micro. Our security business unit has a lot of experience selling Trend Micro XDR or NDR solutions in Brazil. The Trend Micro solution I am mentioning is Trend Vision One. They sell solutions to a big energy company in Brazil.

We show the reports to clients to let them know about their problems and compliance with their security policies.

Fortinet is very common for security, and everybody knows them. We have different kinds of companies. Those that lead for technology do not worry a lot about using it, as they have money for investment in technology. The other ones that do not have a lot of money almost do not know about the technology. So we have to show them that something this exists and try to make the projects according to their budget. That is our challenge here.

I rate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer an eight out of ten.

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?

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?

Positive

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.

  • 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.

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.
