    Fortinet
    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.

    InfluxData
    InfluxDB is very good at storing monitoring metrics (e.g. performance data). InfluxDB is not the right choice if you need to store other data types (like plain text, data relations etc.).

    InfluxData
    InfluxDB is a near perfect product for time series database engines. The relatively small list of cons are heavily outweighed by it's ability to just work and be a very flexible and powerful database engine. The community and support provided by the corporation are the only areas I have little experience.

    Usability
    Fortinet
    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

    Alternatives Considered
    Fortinet
    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.

    InfluxData
    To be honest, I didn't look at alternatives since InfluxDB performs very well if you can oversee the lack of security and HA features. But for all challenges, there is an easy solution which brings you forward (e.g. read load balancing can be achieved by using a common HTTPS load balancer).

    Return on Investment
    Fortinet
    • 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.
