Logs are the most useful feature of the solution. The solution is easy to use and easy to integrate. It helps to configure multiple devices at once.

The solution provides details like category, IP address, and location. It would be good if the product could provide data about the websites users visit.
It will be better if the product can build its UI like Cisco Meraki’s.

I have been using the solution for around seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?
It is a bit of a challenge to return devices. Once we return the device to Fortinet, they will send us a replacement. This process takes a bit of time. The cost of sending the device is very high. With that money, we can buy a smaller device.

We need three employees to maintain the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product’s price is much better than its competitors.
What other advice do I have?
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.

Many of the reports around social media use require deep SSL inspection, which is fine; however, there are functions such as Gmail reporting which don't have any documentation on how these are configured or work.

We had to purchase Fortianalyzer when we replaced our previous firewall with a Fortigate. I chose to use the physical hardware version as that was more cost-effective as we didn't have suitable hardware to run a VM.

FortiAnalyzer Review
