Hello kinmun,
Please read the documentation for analyzer: http://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/2376/FortiAnalyzer_Administration_Guide_5.2.2.pdf

Yes that is correct. In collector mode you lose the ability to create reports or do event handling. Depending on your configuration and OS version, you may still be able to view parsed logs.
Personally, I fail to see the benefit of collector mode. All the features of collector mode are also available in analyzer mode so what's the point? Log forwarding is easily configured via the CLI while in Analyzer mode.
