Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is very expensive. Solutions from companies like Fortinet, F5, and Juniper are very expensive, due in part to the high license fees and technical support they charge.

I won't say the solution is too costly since it is available at a fair price.

The company's choice to utilize Fortinet FortiAnalyzer was based on the overall security strategy and compatibility with existing solutions. It was deemed the best fit as it provided a centralized point of visibility for all of their security solution, including Fortinet FortiGate firewall, FortiClient, Forti EMS, and FortiAP. The company conducted a thorough evaluation of various solutions in the market but found that none of them could fully integrate and manage all their solutions as effectively as Fortinet FortiAnalyzer.

We pay approximately $11,000 for a three-year license to use Fortinet FortiAnalyzer. When we compared the price of this solution to others it is not expensive. Palo Alto is a more expensive solution.

I rate the price from Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a four out of five.

The pricing is very good. I'd rate it four out of five in terms of affordability.

The pricing model is subscription-based. It involves payment for both the license and ongoing support. I would rate it seven out of ten.

The pricing is fine. I cannot speak to the exact cost of the solution. There may be a feature or two that would cost more. However, we do not use any at the moment that adds to the price. 

Base features used to be priced lower but now are a bit higher. We have some requirements and combine more than 100 showrooms to the SDN with the MLPS connection. Compared to other products, the price is a little bit high. 

I rate pricing an eight out of ten.

They have three-year licenses, but I usually recommend starting with a one-year license to try FortiAnalyzer out. After that, you can switch to a three-year license. 

We pay for an annual license, but we have the ability to determine the payment schedule with our distributor.

The cost of the license is high.

The hardware has a one-time cost and maintenance is paid by annual subscription. 

Customers contracts are on a monthly basis and include log monitoring services, maintenance, and technical support provided by two technicians. 

The solution is not that expensive and I rate it a five out of ten. 

I rate FortiAnalyzer six out of 10 for affordability. FortiAnalyzer pricing isn't steady. It changes each quarter or year. That's one of the main problems in West Abaco because most businesses here are small or medium-sized enterprises. It makes budgeting complicated. You always want to pay the same price on the subscription.

At the same time, I think Fortinet pricing is reasonable compared to all the others. The value you get from Fortinet is better because it beats other vendors in terms of performance, functionality, and efficiency. New firewalls like Alexa are trying to compete in pricing, and people are looking into it to see, but Fortinet is good for now. However, they need to work on keeping the price consistent.  

The product’s price is much better than its competitors.

The solution can be a bit expensive. I cannot speak to the exact costs. There are no hidden fees attached to the service. 

The pricing is reasonable. The cost structure is primarily based on factors such as the number of logs, log sizes, and the daily log storage capacity, with a minimum requirement of two gigabytes per day. The maximum storage capacity can extend up to eight thousand gigabytes of logs per day.

I would rate FortiAnalyzer's price a seven out of ten, with ten being the most expensive.

The pricing is reasonable. I'd rate the affordability four out of ten, where ten is the most expensive.

The enterprise version of this solution is costly. We have considered FortiAuthenticator for network control, but the pricing was focused on the larger companies and didn't suit our needs as a smaller business.

The pricing for this solution is on an annual basis. Databases, a virus scanner, and intrusion detection is included.

The number of licenses required directly corresponds with the number of devices connected.

The renewals for this solution are carried out yearly.

I'm not a fan of the licensing system in general. I don't like their pricing model. 

We pay a standard licensing fee on a yearly basis. 

The pricing is complex since we need to add some other products or tools to assure our infrastructure, then the amount of every one of the items of software otherwise the solution is expensive in the end.

I do not know the price of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer. I did not pay for it, but I know the price of other Fortinet products. They are not cheap. I am from Poland. We have Zloty, not Euro, so for us, everything is expensive. 

I had also tried to buy it in the past, but it was too expensive.

The price is not expensive when compared to other solutions like Palo Alto.

In addition to the licensing, we pay for a support contract.

It is a fairly affordable solution. I'd rate the solution three or four out of ten with ten being the most expensive. It's cheap It's not costly.  

We pay for an annual license.

I'm not familiar with the cost point, because I am more of a technical person and I do not do pre-sales or sales.

The price of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is expensive.

I rate the price of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer a ten out of ten.

You pay an annual license based on the volume of logs per day.

I'm not sure about the exact licensing costs.

I believe that these devices were procured with a five-year maintenance and support license up front. I work at a university, so the vendor provides a considerable higher ed discount.

When you compare with other firewall vendors, FortiAnalyzer is quite competitive in pricing. They are very aggressive as well.

The license depends on the storage capacity. If you want to take a log of up to 1 gigabyte daily, it's free, if I remember correctly. But if you want 5 gigabytes daily, it's licensed at different prices. The cost of FortiAnalyzer could be cheaper, especially when you are installing to a VM. For 90 percent of customers, the VM solution is enough. 

I can't remember if they have a new license for software maintenance. They have maintenance that is charged annually. Unlike a firewall, they have a UTM license you need to pay annually and then only an annual maintenance cost for the hardware, for FortiAnalyzer.

I'm not sure what the exact price is at the moment. However, my understanding is the pricing could be better.

I don't handle the licensing or the costs. I can't speak to how much it is for our company or if it is expensive or affordable. I'm not privy to that kind of information.

That said, it's my understanding, as a comparison, that Fortinet products are cheaper than their Cisco counterparts.

In terms of fees, one is subscription and one is the hardware warranty. There are two types of subscriptions - one is a security subscription and the other one is the support.

A lot of products are coming with built-in facilities, but FortiAnalyzer is a much better solution. People may like it, but affordability is a problem.

You get a gateway, but without support, it's not worth much. We've also tried FortiGate virtual machines, but the price is so high that it's better to buy other appliances than to buy the license for the VM. 

We also work with third-party solutions. However, this solution is not for everyone, and even though it's free, it's easy to implement when you have money.

Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I give the cost a seven out of ten. I believe that Fortinet is a cost-effective brand, making it a competitive option in terms of pricing.

There is a license needed to use this solution.

I cannot speak of the exact price. Someone else manages the contract. However, you do get good value for your money. It's not overly expensive. 

As it is on-premises, you do need some on-prem resources. You need a traditional hypervisor and need the ability to host the solution on your premises. 

FortiAnalyzer's price could be lower, but it is cheaper than competitors like Palo Alto, Forcepoint, or Sophos. The basic license is available on a yearly basis, but some other licenses can be for three, six, or nine months as required. There are no hidden costs associated with this product.

We found the price of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to be reasonable.

We do need to pay for a license, and the payment is made yearly. There are no extra costs associated with the product beyond the main licensing fee. 

It is an expensive solution. 

In the local market sometimes people are being charged more than other solutions. Although the market is competitive, legitimate suppliers do not receive a large enough discount to pass onto the customers. 

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is not suitable for everyone, it is best suited for mid-sized businesses but if the price could be reduced there would be more customers in all-sized businesses.

Its price is okay for us. Fortinet products are cheaper than other solutions.

FortiAnalyzer was in the product itself, but two years ago they split it from Fortinet. We paid the license two years ago.

When comparing with other solutions such as Checkpoint and Cisco, Fortinet is priced well.

This program is quite expensive. We have to renew the hardware every year and the hardware is very expensive. And we need to renew the licensing for application control too. 

We have around 12 devices and yearly we spend approximately $14,000.

Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis. We have several products including Fortinet Wireless, FortiGate Firewalls, and FortiAnalyzer, which are bundled together and cost approximately $50,000 USD annually. We don't pay anything else in addition to the standard licensing fees.

The cost and pricing should be in accordance with the calculation of log storage capacity for a time period required for historical analysis.

I think Fortinet has a balanced offering of prices and licenses.

It is not very expensive when customers understand the value of this product and the importance of the information that it provides for security. 

The pricing of this solution is fair, and it is based on what you can manage. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees.

It is expensive for small business customers. It is only available for customers with a high number of firewalls to manage or to report. If a customer has only five boxes of FortiGate, the price of FortiAnalyzer can be more than the five boxes. So, we can't easily put this solution for small business customers.

All Fortinet programs come at a good price.

The price is quite expensive. Fortinet products are very expensive. That is something which they should also look at, because if you compare Fortinet product to, say, Sophos for example, Fortinet is really high and that's the only thing which is a drawback for most users. Although their plan is a value-for-money appliance, the price is expensive.

The pricing isn't the least expensive on the market. They could work to improve it to make it more interesting for other companies. Adjusting pricing might be a good move.

It is acceptable for on-premises, but it is expensive for the cloud. 

The pricing of this product should be about 10-20% lower.

Only get it if you need it.

It depends upon the company.

It's worth spending on FortiAnalyzer if you have multiple firewalls in your network.

The hardware cost and services contract are fair.
