    Cisco Endpoint Security Analytics is best suited for larger environments that need a window into basic logs of what users are experiencing. It provides adequate protection. We have had some issues with false positive detection of apps that are common, especially when downloading program setup files and such. Overall, it is a decent product.

    FortiAnalyzer is a must have when you administer multiple FortiGate firewalls in a defense in depth enterprise environment. Total visibility can be achieved across multiple physical and virtual firewalls. Complete analysis of your threat landscape is possible along with real time detection, compliance reporting, and wholistic firewall rule analysis and reporting. Eliminating shadow rules, tuning unnecessarily permissive rules, automation and other analysis are built in to this easy to deploy software.

    Usability
    Cisco
    Cisco Endpoint Security Analytics is semi easy to use. However, the reports are sometimes a bit lacking in detail. We do get alerts when someone encounters something malicious. However, it would be nice to see a bit more detail as to where the malicious file came from so that we can better protect our network.

    It allows to have only one security log dashboard, we dont have to connect to a lot of firewall we can summarize quickly global issues. We got a lot of native reports that could be used. As we had a lot of clusters, we can create specific perimeter and allows specific perimeter to tiers people and allow them to check logs if they want

    Cisco Endpoint Security Analytics is easier to use than any of these products and seems to offer a better level of security. Symantec has failed to deliver any kind of support or updates since the Broadcom acquistion. The other products seem to be more geared to home or small office use. We chose Cisco Endpoint Security Analytics because we trust the brand and it seems to offer more features than the competition.

    FortiAnalyzer stacks up as one for the best solutions and comes in at an affordable price point when talking education budgets. We've have looked at other solutions but ultimately the ecosystem we prefer to use is Fortinet. This ecosystem meets out everchanging needs well without having to change our internal procedures dramatically.

    • We are able to report to the management the real-time attacks on the network
    • User behavior analysis has become easy
    • Achieving a favorable return on investment (ROI) is easily attainable, given that the product cost is relatively moderate. Without the product, the amount of human work time required is significantly higher, further emphasizing the cost-effectiveness of its implementation.
