    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.

    RHEV is well suited for organizations that need a cost-effective and flexible solution for their environment. As its vendor-independent software, easily install on any type of hardware. RHEV provides a GUI interface to manage the software, which makes the management of the software easier for the end-user. RHEV is best for non-production or less critical applications. RHEV can be easily integrated with other REDHAT software.

    • RHV issues/bugs can be reported via Bugzilla to RH support. The service is great and typically responds soon.
    • Red Hat distribution integration is seamless as it is integrated into the kernel.
    • OpenStack support enables more customized VM templates and network configuration control.

    • 1- RHVM API is pretty slow, especially after creating a VM it is not possible to retrieve the VM details (i.e VM's MAC Address) fast enough, where we need to place a pause in our Ansible Playbook, make the automation process slow.
    • 2- RHV is still using collected to monitor the hypervisors which is deviating from Red Hat policy for other RHEL based applications to use PCP to monitor, which is richer in features.
    • 3- It will be great if it is possible to patch the hypervisors using other tools such as satellite and not only via RHVM.
    • 4- In the past Red Hat used to present patches in the z release (i.e. 4.3.z), and features in the y release (i.e 4. y), but starting from 4.4 that is mixed together wherein the Z release you get both patches and features, that is not good because that requires a lot of time to test when we patch as it includes features as well.
    • 5- Engineering team has to be more reactive when new feature is requested.

    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

    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.

    RHEV is an excellent product, includes more features, is less expensive, and has rock solid reliability and is backed with the best Red Hat Support in the industry. RHEV uses KVM under the hood which is used by all the big players in the industry (AWS, Rackspace, etc) to lower their overall costs and improve efficiency and profits and that's why RHEV is an excellent solution!

    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.
