We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and Nagios Log Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found incident management and also identifying new threats, analyzing the network traffic, and finding out the issues with the network traffic such as any security issues to be valuable. I also like the compliance reports."
"The initial setup is easy, and the deployment is fast."
"Log View is the most valuable part for us, as we can view logs from different Fortigates on a single GUI."
"It supports SQL for logging and reporting. Log data is inserted into the SQL database for log view and report generation."
"Logging is the best feature."
"Separating sections or conditions on Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is quite clear."
"FortiAnalyzer's reporting features like graphs, threat intelligence, and vulnerabilities analysis are helpful. Fortinet knows how to do reporting. You can customize your reports to show exactly what you want to analyze. It's user-friendly and doesn't require a lot of effort."
"What I like the most is the monitoring system."
"The initial setup of Nagios Log Server was easy and straightforward."
"One of the most valuable features is the dashboard because the UI was effective and easy to use. The alert systems are good as well. We had no failovers and had high availability. We can search the queries fast as well in Nagios Log Server."
"It provides an easy way to identify errors and spot issues, making troubleshooting more efficient."
"A great feature of the solution involves its internal portal."
"The product is scalable."
"The product should be integrated with other third-party solutions for context exchange."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to search logs in integrated solutions."
"The pricing could be better. They could work to make it more competitive on the market."
"Pricing-wise, it not affordable for the normal customer. Most of the people want to see different types of reporting, but FortiAnalyzer's fee is a little bit difficult."
"The technical support is not very reliable."
"The traffic monitoring could be better, and stability could be improved."
"The FortiAnalyzer is not good at managing multi-version environments. If all your FortiGate are at different versions in the field, that's difficult. The one thing we didn't like is the fact you have to have 100% of your environment at the same release, which is not pleasant, to have it fully functional. You can have a different release, but to have it fully functional 100% of your environment has to be the same release."
"Pricing should be about 10-20% lower."
"The customization and dashboards have shortcomings and need to be improved to make the tool look more presentable."
"It would be beneficial for Nagios to incorporate a tool that goes beyond log management and includes features to monitor overall system health and assess the effectiveness of antivirus solutions."
"As we are talking about a product which is open to the public, the pricing makes it challenging for us to profit off of its marketing."
"The configurations during initial setup could be improved. If they could be agentless, as in the case of the Ansible product, it would be better. I would like to be able to analyze the network bandwidth."
"The support could be better."
