Simplifying log management by displaying detailed access information
The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is its ability to simplify and display logs clearly, providing details like which IPs are accessing the system, the destination, and the policies applied. This visualization and detail make managing logs more straightforward. In conjunction with our VMware setup, Fortinet FortiAnalyzer enhances organizational efficiency, meeting the standard log retention period for up to a year.

Customization and automation streamline workflows for seamless operations
The features of Rapid7 InsightOps that I have found most valuable are the predefined policies and the use of correlation rules, which are very valuable because they eliminate the need to spend time creating those rules. This feature detects insider threats or compromised credentials by using user behavior analytics, which can collect other compromise indicators. It makes it easier to install and implement this solution because you can run it as normal behavior of users and then switch off to look for the anomalous behavior of any entities, such as laptops and others. In any violation or restricted behavior, the system will notify you that something unusual is occurring. The machine learning algorithms in Rapid7 InsightIDR for threat detection work quite effectively as part of the user entity behavior analytic model, allowing us to focus group normal typical behavior of users and then turn on the rule to spot any unexpected behavior. The automation features of Rapid7 InsightOps are quite satisfactory, as users appreciate these features, especially when integrating with the ticketing system. If something goes wrong, InsightOps will notify the ticketing system to create a ticket and assign it to the responsible person to handle the events found in the infrastructure. The customizable dashboards in Rapid7 InsightOps are quite valuable and interesting because SOC center operators spend most of their time investigating on those dashboards, making them easy to manage. Additionally, we can configure email reports for high-level talks, sending historical data without needing to look online, which is very convenient.

"The predictive analytics of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is very valuable for clients because this solution has a complete architecture for cybersecurity."
"The most valuable feature of FortiAnalyzer is its visibility, especially in network investigations."
"The ability to gather all gateway information and logs in a single location is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is its performance."
"The most important feature is to be able to get reports or information about the state of all firewalls."
"The reporting and organizing part of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is very interactive, smooth, and easy to use."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"We can save logs as plain text."

Cons

"It will be better if behavior or indicators of compromise were on the same licensing schema. Currently, it is an advanced feature that you have to purchase as an add-on. This is the reason we're trying to do the ELK so that we can integrate them and create those rules by using open-source software. It will also be better if it has some more integration with IT service management tools so that we can do endpoint protection and response based on those indicators of compromise or those behavior analysis rules that create events that can automatically flow. We can inject that data into a service incident ticket on our IT service management tool, and that way we can assign the ticket to the proper teams and respond right away. Currently, we only have integration with ServiceNow."
"They can include integration with devices, such as firewalls, endpoints, from other vendors. They can include graphic monitoring of everything in the network, not just Fortinet products. It would also be good to include customizable reports and customizable views of the reports."
"The integration between specific tenants and FortiAnalyzer can be simplified when utilizing a multi-tenant EMS for our FortiClient."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer needs to improve its pricing flexibility."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer could be improved by enabling features such as predictive analysis. We should implement AI features, correlation of different logs, and have predictive analysis, including alerts for policy violations."
"The technical support is not very good."
"The solution is expensive."
"They could always improve the interface and the user experience."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
