"It would be good if the product could provide data about the websites users visit."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer can improve by introducing integration with other Fortinet solutions with automation with one interface would be helpful."
"The solution could use more graphics and be more specific in the dashboard. This way, I'm able to understand everything and effectively understand what's going on, including what's incoming and outgoing. Right now, I have to look up everything. I need a dashboard so that I can see specific items right there in one place."
"The deployment of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is not complex, but integrating it with firewalls can take some time, depending on the number of firewalls."
"The solution should include the ability to customize reports so that customers receive greater value and high level reporting."
"The reports are good, but they are over-summarized."
"The technical support takes at least two days to reply on any ticket post raised on their website."
"The solution lacks business intelligence features. It's much too basic."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"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."
"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."
"It could be more stable."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
