"The most valuable feature is the search capability, which is simple to use."
"Some of the most valuable features I really appreciate are the performance, how quick the solution is, and how easy it is to create a query."
"It's a brilliant log collection tool, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of servers in a single shot to ingest the data."
"It's an efficient solution."
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"The machine learning is a good feature."
"ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer are the GUI and there is automation that can be done with playbooks and mini-books."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to gather logs and generate reports."
"It supports SQL for logging and reporting. Log data is inserted into the SQL database for log view and report generation."
"From my perspective, we need to see the traffic in a good way so we can know what has happened in our network. The analyzing tools and the monitoring tools and the logs are the important part in the network."
"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"The anti-virus protection it offers our clients is solid."
"The traffic log information we receive from Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is valuable."
"Log View is the most valuable part for us, as we can view logs from different Fortigates on a single GUI."
"I think the ArcSight team should try to simplify legacy products for the customers, because that product is not easy to use or to work with. It needs more more competency or appeal to use. We hope Micro Focus is trying to resolve this."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow."
"The next release should have AI capabilities."
"The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved."
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."
"We have had problems with archiving."
"Software reports are good but should match the dashboard and include top-level output instead of just base or low-level devices."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer could improve by having better integration with other vendors."
"If Fortinet could introduce some firewalling or maybe FortiAnalyzer on the cloud, that would be interesting because I've never seen it on a cloud."
"The technical support takes at least two days to reply on any ticket post raised on their website."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer should come bundled with other Fortinet solutions. Additionally, the performance and updates could improve. They need to test their updates better so there are not as many bugs."
"The solution could embed monitoring."
"The UI could use some improvement. It can be tough for a beginner to navigate because you don't know what to do even if you read the guide. I've talked to some users who said that they couldn't figure out what to do even after looking at the documentation."
"It will be better if behavior or indicators of compromise were on the same licensing schema. Currently, it is an advanced feature that you have to purchase as an add-on. This is the reason we're trying to do the ELK so that we can integrate them and create those rules by using open-source software. It will also be better if it has some more integration with IT service management tools so that we can do endpoint protection and response based on those indicators of compromise or those behavior analysis rules that create events that can automatically flow. We can inject that data into a service incident ticket on our IT service management tool, and that way we can assign the ticket to the proper teams and respond right away. Currently, we only have integration with ServiceNow."
