It provides a lot of features, like analyzing the behavior of a file against millions of samples and billions of old and advanced-level malware artifacts. It identifies the key behavior of malware and its associated campaigns.

FortiAnalyzer is well-suited for deployment in large organizations characterized by substantial traffic volumes and extensive user bases, facilitating the acquisition of detailed logs and comprehensive dashboards. Nevertheless, in my opinion, its utility may be comparatively limited for smaller organizations, where the firewall alone can provide a sufficient overview of the network traffic.
