Likelihood to Recommend
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.

I recommend it to all companies with scenarios that are looking for a SOC queue management tool, vulnerabilities, assets, indicators, visualization panels with alarms and real-time notifications, and personalized reports of all the functions present in the tool. It's easy to install and configure on a VM. The interface is user-friendly and fully customizable and can even create infinite mini-panels of platforms, incidents, alarms, and other functions. The price is great and it's an investment to improve security and visibility and incident handling.

  • Training Services- Fortinet offers courses geared towards administration and designed and development of FortiSOAR , Which required multiples access , we need all training services with self pace basis , I think here Fortinet need to improve.
  • Licensing Model- Being as a new technology Licensing model should be crystal & Clear, be it Concurrent Users or The number of FortiSOAR nodes there should be no ambiguity .

Usability
FortiAnalyzer is easy to deploy are ready to use right out of the box. The user interface is intuitive and the reporting engine is very customizable however most of the 'canned' reports are usable right away. It is easy to add firewalls under management and event correlation happens immediately. FortiAnalyzer is a great log aggregator for all of your firewalls and then upload meaningful data to a SEIM.

Alternatives Considered
FortiAnalyzer is significantly cheaper and a better value for the money especially if you have FortiGate firewalls in the datacenter or in the cloud. FortiAnalyzer manages physical, virtual, and cloud firewalls in a single pane of glass providing a wholistic enterprise view of your security landscape. Compliance reporting comes built-in with the most popular reports ready at a click of a button. FortiAnalyzer is a great aggregation point before uploading logs to a SEIM / SOC tool.

Done prove of concept (POC) thoroughly , where we judged the solution on every aspect & We came to know FortiSOAR will work well in our environment as it is blended with features like Case managements , Product Flexibility * Scalable Architecture . These features were much required to optimum use of our SOC solution. Since we have all the Fortinet security stack in our environment it helped us a lot in selection (POC) and also commercially.
