"One of the main disadvantages is not having a direct link to the security policy when you see something in the log."
"The pricing could be better."
"The technical support is not very reliable."
"The product should be integrated with other third-party solutions for context exchange."
"When somebody is new to the system they find it difficult to perform certain operations, like backups, and to see where the reports are."
"The FortiAnalyzer is not scalable."
"It would be good if the product could provide data about the websites users visit."
"The integration with other vendors for log collection could be enhanced."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"It could be even more automated."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"The process of logging analytics can be improved"
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
