SonicWall Analytics provides real-time insights into correlated security data and supports forensic investigation, security policy calibration and control, enrichment of connected firewall data, and drill down analytics.
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.
If you have Sonicwall firewalls, and want to store logs and generate custom reports, then this additional investment is worthy. If you only want to have storage for your logs, then I won't recommend this. You can opt for a Syslog tool or a SIEM platform for analyzing the same and storing logs.
We get reports on the basis of features, like system reports, content/url filtering reports. There must be an option to get reports no the basis of complete user activity, or user timeline
They could have bundled or included management along with reporting
Pricing considering only collecting of logs and generating reports only from Sonicwall firewalls, I feel is high.
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.
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.
