Fortinet FortiAnalyzer Valuable Features

Daniel Coleman - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO/CTO at Eunoia Design

One of the most valuable features is the ability to analyze data in real-time using AR features to pull data from the industrial DB. You can know what is going on and see in milliseconds where the network is underperforming. 

FortiAnalyzer also has good storage capacity for storing the logs. The notification capabilities are excellent, too. It sends alerts so always know what is going on. For example, if you're on a break and something goes wrong, it lets you know so can immediately go back and fix it. You don't need to be constantly sitting in front of it.

The event handling solution in the platform is very good and useful. We can automate event-based handling solutions for example, if we have some events or issues on top of traffic, it triggers that function, and it can even get API for our firewall to ban that IP, or we can add a playbook for our attack, into the solution, and just manage the whole network based on that playbook.

One of the greatest advantages of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is its ability to integrate with a variety of software and solutions, providing comprehensive visibility into the network. The solution's strength lies in its capability to work with Fortinet's own products, such as the FortiAP access point, which allows for deep monitoring, automation, correlation, and incident management. However, this functionality is not present when utilizing other products, such as those from Cisco, limiting the visibility and benefits that can be gained.

Special notifications about compromised phones are valuable because we have some guest networks, and sometimes, people are connecting phones that are connected to compromised websites. We want to be informed about it. We sometimes have some cases where we want to analyze the connection from inside to outside ports. So, it helps with a lot of things. It depends on our needs.

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer has a lock correlation feature. It simplifies the troubleshooting process for its customers. So now, instead of logging into every firewall, they can log into Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and check the locks. They can also check whether there are any issues with the network.

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.

It is a very stable and scalable solution.

It is easy to integrate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer with other products. You have a better overview of what's going on. For example, you get a smaller alert for an infected workstation if it causes some suspicious traffic, you see it right away in Fortinet.

What I like the most is the monitoring system. For example, it can track who is accessing through VPNs. The monitoring features are quite impressive, including maps, source IP, country codes, and geolocation – all of which are really cool. Additionally, the logging functionality is also excellent.

FortiAnalyzer's best feature is centralized log analysis. It's based on SQL database, so I can fully customize my report, chart-wise and log-wise, and can create as many reports as I want without any limit. It also has an important feature called Indicators of Compromise, an artificial intelligence feature that detects and alerts you when there is a breach in your entity.

Many of my clients are financial institutions that transmit files from around the country across a VPN. In a setup like this, it's helpful to have a centralized dashboard to manage firewalls and other security solutions across a distributed environment. You can do all sorts of analysis and configure it to trigger alarms.
