We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and Rapid7 InsightOps 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."Technical reports clearly identify system checks, locations and areas, how many times things escape, which firewall is affected, and source IDs."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is to be able to see everything in our network in a single task. A single menu and the graphical bar charts that it provides to give insights are very useful. It also gives very good metrics on bandwidth utilization, CPU, and device performance. It is very simple and easy to use as well."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"Log View is the most valuable part for us, as we can view logs from different Fortigates on a single GUI."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is a complete package for managing our equipment."
"It is easy to integrate Fortinet FortiAnalyzer with other products. You have a better overview of what's going on."
"We use the solution for enterprise firewalls, URL filtering, and SD-WAN."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"The solution can improve the incident response function to provide more detailed information on where the incident is originating."
"The solution could embed monitoring."
"The pricing could be better. They could work to make it more competitive on the market."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is not in the cloud environment like some of the other products. There could be a possibility of extending its functionality to the cloud environment. If possible, they could have a deal with or integrate with other firewall manufacturers, like Palo Alto and Cisco, and mix the information. It is a difficult functionality. I don't know if any product in the market provides such functionality."
"It should have customized reports as well. While it currently has them, you need to write a script which is not straightforward."
"One of the main disadvantages is not having a direct link to the security policy when you see something in the log."
"We should be able to do the patch upgrades in a centralized manner. This functionality is currently not there. It would be good to be able to do the firmware updates from one place and at the same time. Currently, if we want to update all appliances, we require FortiManager, which is another solution from Fortinet. Its documentation can be improved. It will be helpful for implementing the product and gaining knowledge for management purposes."
"The solution should include the ability to customize reports so that customers receive greater value and high level reporting."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
