The features of logs in Fortinet and Cisco let me to being to view the bandwidth and monitor for the unauthorized attempts very easily.

Head of Unit for Contract Implementation Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Maintains our network more secure and responsible" April 10, 2025 4.0 Pros Firewall Analyzer supports several standards like PCI-DSS and ISO and it is very convenient to work with the reports and send them to auditors. It has improved time taken to prepare prior to external audits and has cut down compliance deficiencies.

Firewall Analyzer also featured a rule ranking that depended on its contextual use, thus allowing for the identification of frequent hits on rules that required reordering to increase efficiency. Cons Each and every rule had to be pulled from the device by device and if there are numerous firewalls of various makes and models then this operation equals to work of a robot.

This is because it enables the tracking of configurations hence helps in keeping track of changed policies.​ Cons The real-time alerts captured some time delay which in the case of threats could lead to a delay in response.

This has helped us in identifying who is using how much bandwidth and the trends involved to improve our networks.​ Cons I faced difficulties with report scheduling as the reports are not always delivered on time or at least at the set time. This unreliability sometimes means that reports must be done manually and that leads to the disturbance of work flow.​ Review Source DM Dragan M. Principal consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Strongly recommended and any firewall management tasks." October 18, 2024 5.0 Pros Log analyzer feature is the most critical part for my job.
