The main difference between sending syslog information to a FortiAnalyzer or a 3rd party syslog server such as ManageEngine Eventlog Analyzer is the type of data that is analyzed. FortiAnalyzer provides deep visibility into network traffic and security events, while ManageEngine Eventlog Analyzer offers more powerful event logging capabilities and analysis. Furthermore, FortiAnalyzer is tailored for Fortinet products, while ManageEngine Eventlog Analyzer can interface with multiple types of devices and systems.

The difference is the very high number of features offered by FortiAnalyzer . Reports,alerts.charts,automation options. event-triggers etc are some .
here is an old discussion on same topic, the number of features offered by Fortianalyzer has increased since this discussion.
