Hi

 

Can I have your comments/suggestion on which reporting tool will I use? For 40 users is it worth it to buy a FortiAnalyzer? My boss just wanted to have a monthly report which shows top 10 bandwidth users, blocksites, etc. I am currently subscribe with FortiCloud (free) and my boss appreciates the summary daily report I presented. Is there a way that I can check which user is consuming our bandwidth real time on either option? Thank you

                   if you have small number of user of up to 90 user just go for forticloud analyzer .

    that will be cheaper and best for you .

    FortiCloud is great for POC or getting started,  the FAZ is so much better if you need more flexibility in  reports.

     

    FAZ == more reports, better reporting, archive, gear'd for more log/per sec and can be stroke on a vm or physical appliance, you buy or adjust your logging license  and daily log rate

     

    Forticloud ==  gear'd for the SMB/SOHO

     

    Alternatively you coul even use  splunk for your requriemenst or even the native reporting on the fortigate for your needs if you goal is "onlyi just the top 10" imho, SPlunk will  require work effort up front and more time for log creation for ingested data.

    I think I'm eyeing on FortiCloud, management just wanted to have a monthly report. I am currently testing solarwinds but having some difficulties on the configuration due to I'm just a new network IT. Also, I find FortiCloud easier to configure I'm just wondering if this solution could solve our problems in monitoring. Thank you.
