The initial setup is complex.

Setting up and launching a network, depending on the size can take anywhere from one or two days up to a week or more. However, in order for the network to run smoothly and be effective, it is important to continually tune and optimize that network. This is not a solution that can be set and forgotten; we need to be constantly adjusting Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to meet the needs of our network and the services we are providing.

The initial setup process was quite good because the solution was user-friendly, and anyone could access and track the solution. Even though I rate this solution an initial setup somewhere between seven to eight out of ten, to be more specific, I rate it an eight. Also, in our company, we have deployed the solution on the cloud.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is straightforward. The process does not take more than 15 minutes.

The critical step is the virtual machine (VM) startup, which is dependent on the virtualization aspect, not the FortiAnalyzer itself. It took me no more than 10 minutes to complete this process when I was utilizing a high-performance hyper-converged infrastructure. Currently, deploying a VM with one terabyte should take less than 60 seconds.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is simple.

I rate the initial setup of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a four out of five.

I have not installed or configured FortiAnalyzer. I came into this organization one year ago and it was already configured. I do not have that much of an idea about the installation.

I'm not sure what, if any, maintenance is required. 

The initial setup was fairly easy. When approaching it for the first time, there might be some minor complexities. However, as you gain experience, the process becomes quite straightforward to manage.

The product is easy to set up.

The initial setup process is simple. For me, it is not so complex. I have a good understanding of the process. We've been recently raining on the setup of the system often. The last session we did was two months ago. Every year, we look at the system with our specialist.

The implementation takes about two days. 

We have one administrator that handles maintenance. 

The setup is straightforward with a very easy deployment program. Some IT knowledge is helpful but it is not hard to setup or manage the solution. 

Setting up FortiAnalyzer is straightforward. It doesn't take long because everything is already built for you unless you need to do some virtualization. The specific steps depend on your environment and what kind of device fabrics you use. 

We don't need to do much to install FortiAnalyzer because it always depends on FortiGate. You need to deploy FortiGate before you install it. That's why I say that I see it as a dummy box. I don't see anything interesting in it. It's only a support structure.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment took a couple of days.

For the deployment, we needed to create the server for deploying the FortiAnalyzer image and create the policy rules. We also had to complete the basic configuration of FortiAnalyzer. Following that, we configured all the resources and logs within FortiAnalyzer to collect and correlate the logs, which are then used to generate reports.

The initial setup is very straightforward and is accomplished via quick installation.  

Setting up FortiAnalyzer is a bit complex for a beginner because you have a shallow understanding of what it is. Configuring the advanced features is somewhat challenging, but the basic setup isn't that tough. 

Setting up FortiAnalyzer takes around five to 10 minutes. I rate my setup experience 10 out of 10. After deployment, there isn't too much maintenance. It's just the usual updates. That's it.

We hired a consultant to complete the setup as it is not straightforward and requires an expert. The setup took a few days. Four IT staff look after maintenance of this solution.

The initial deployment of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is straightforward. There are two network interfaces involved: the Internet interface and the LAN interface. The LAN interface must be configured on the same subnet as the other Fortinet products to enable visibility of the network connector from the Fortinet console. Upon successful configuration, an authorization message will be received, allowing us to proceed with adding the devices to the FortiAnalyzer device manager and initiating log data collection. The deployment process is well-documented, requiring minimal personnel, and can be completed within five hours.

The initial setup of this solution is very easy, and takes around three hours to complete the implementation.

It's an easy initial setup. The implementation is not overly complex. The deployment is pretty fast and only takes two or three hours. 

The initial setup is very simple. 

The deployment took about six months. 

It was easy to deploy. It took one hour.

The initial setup is straightforward. We can choose to install either a single node or a cluster. We run it in a virtual environment on firmware, and the process of installing the RPA takes around 15 minutes. Afterward, some configuration is required, including the installation of certificates and similar tasks. Thus, the entire process usually takes approximately one to two hours.

Once the installation is complete, we need to connect all the FortiGate Firewalls to the FortiAnalyzer. This step also involves configuring them securely. When I deploy this solution for a customer, it typically takes me about four to eight hours to complete the installation and configuration. 

The initial setup is straightforward. I'd rate the ease of setup eight out of ten. It is quite simple. 

Deployment only takes about one week. We can handle the customer's various policies and configurations. 

It only takes one person to deploy and maintain the solution. It's easy to manage the product. The customer can self-learn the solution and manage it once it is launched. 

The initial setup is complex. The deployment took a few hours.

I can say that the setup is a mixture of both options. I wouldn't say it is difficult. I would rather say that the setup process is okay or moderate. Also, the straightforwardness and complexity of the setup process will depend on your environment.

The deployment of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is not complex, but integrating it with firewalls can take some time, depending on the number of firewalls. So, the deployment of the entire solution can take approximately one week to complete.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is simple.

Setting up FortiAnalyzer isn't complex and takes two or three hours. They have a prebuilt OVA we can deploy using Ansible. Next, we configure FortiGate to send the logs to the FortiAnalyzer. You can also download premade reports on the portal.

Setting the solution up is pretty easy. It's just a matter of integrating with the Fortinet public devices. FortiGate will start sending logs and then reports to FortiAnalyzer.

Once it is set up, the solution is easy to maintain.

FortiAnalyzer is a pretty straightforward product to deploy. It took half a day to deploy a pair of FortiAnalyzers and set them up in high availability mode. I deployed it by myself. These are hardware appliances, so there were a couple of devices that needed to be racked, powered, and configured.

The initial setup is quite simple with FortiGate devices. So, if you have FortiGate firewalls, it is quite easy to set up. Once Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is configured, then the only thing we need to do is to monitor it.

Setting up FortiAnalyzer is very straightforward. It takes just 30 minutes or less. With our installation, we sent our FortiGates log, email logs, and other logs for the three devices we're currently running to the analyzers we are using within the public architecture.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. That said, I didn't handle it directly. We had an internal team that did the implementation. 

Most of the time, one engineer is sufficient for a small deployment, just two AP, one firewall, and one analyzer.

By the time I joined my current organization, the solution was already installed and configured. Unfortunately, I was not a part of the process and therefore can speak to how easy or difficult it was.

The initial setup was simple.

It is very easy to set up and deploy. Even someone with little networking knowledge or a manager can quickly understand what's happening in the network, such as an increase in traffic from specific endpoints or which websites are being browsed, including social media.

The initial setup was not complex.

The initial setup is simple. Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is an out-of-the-box solution, so we can start customizing as soon as we finish the installation.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is fine. There is a lot of browsing and a lot of hierarchy that you need to have a particularly good understanding of in order to track the right things that you want to select.

It's not too easy to set up. It can be a bit difficult. They could make it a little bit easier. 

You only need two people (engineers) to handle deployment and maintenance. 

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer was simple. The full deployment took approximately two or three hours.

The initial setup varies from company to company. Some are straightforward, some are complex.

It is very straight forward, the only thing that you might do some customization in the report and the event management. Other than this everything is predefined and based on templates, so you are able to add your touch on the reports as well.

The initial setup is not that complex. I didn't do the initial configuration, it was already set up, I'm only managing it right now. If we're talking about the integration side, like how to integrate FortiGate in FortiAnalyzer, I don't think it's complex. That's why they are known as one of the leaders in security.

The installation was not difficult.

The initial setup is very easy. 

The solution is easy to install.

The initial setup is straightforward. Everything with Fortinet is straightforward.

The initial setup was really straightforward. The duration of the deployment depends on the requirements of the customer and the kind of reports they want to get. It can be customized to the client's specifications. Some only use it for visibility while others want to get detailed reports. If the requirements are complex, it will take around two days. Otherwise, it will take a few hours. It is very easy to deploy the FortiAnalyzer. 

I struggled a little bit with the initial setup because it was a new concept to me. I looked at some videos on YouTube, as well as the Fortinet website.

The FAZ includes a wizard, which is very simple to follow during the initial setup.

The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward.

Deployment is very easy. If you're using multiple gateways you can just connect through a single gateway. 

The initial setup is not complex. The configuration of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is easy for basic information. The configuration can be complex if you want to do a lot of reporting.

The initial setup of this solution is pretty straightforward. We have a few FortiGate firewalls, and they communicate with FortiAnalyzer over the public networks by sending their logs.

The deployment was not difficult and did not take much time. It is just the initial configuration on FortiAnalyzer, which takes no more than ten minutes. Then, the analyzer will be synchronized with FortiGate. It is just a matter of entering the FortiAnalyzer IP address, then allowing it to register. In total, it takes about twenty minutes.

There are three administrators for this solution, and I handle the maintenance myself.

The initial setup was straightforward and deployment took us about eight months. The reason for this is that we installed other programs during this time too, like Fireworks Data Center, Switch Data Center, Cisco Nexus Data Center, and Forcepoint. We use Stitch as our local manager. 

For me, the initial setup was straightforward. The deployment takes approximately ten minutes. In some cases we could be waiting for results, waiting for logs to get up to do some analysis.

It was very straightforward. The deployment could take a couple of days to fine-tune all the rules for log management.

It's very easy and straightforward. You just need the point the FortiGate devices to your Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, and it just automatically configures the security fabric. The time depends on how many devices you're actually using. Configuring one device into your Fortinet FortiAnalyzer takes about five minutes or so.

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It's straightforward enough. A company shouldn't have any issues with the setup.

The initial setup is ok.

It was straightforward.

The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very, very straightforward.

The deployment is quick and it's easy to configure. How long it takes depends on the size of the company that we are working for. Normally, we're able to do it within the same day, and we deploy the device or the virtual machine within that time frame. Depending on the requirements of the company, we may also optimize the reporting.

The initial setup is not complex. The basic setup takes roughly 30 minutes to one hour — reconfiguration can take up to one day.
