AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you run this software on. This listing supports six instance types, so pricing scales with the compute capacity you select. Larger instances carry more CPU and memory to handle heavier log processing, while smaller instances suit lighter workloads. All options manage up to 30 devices and bill hourly with no upfront commitment. You also pay AWS separately for the underlying compute, storage, and data transfer you use. Choose the instance type that matches your logging volume and processing needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hour of billing cover, and what does the 30 managed devices limit mean?
You are billed per hour the instance runs. This listing manages up to 30 registered devices, meaning FortiGate or syslog-compatible sources that send logs. Each physical or virtual device you register counts toward that limit. The hourly rate covers the software license, not the underlying AWS compute.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or paused?
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. A stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. However, AWS may still bill you separately for storage volumes, snapshots, and data transfer tied to the stopped instance. Fortinet meters running time only.
What happens if my logging volume outgrows the instance type I chose?
You can move to a larger instance type to add CPU and memory for heavier log processing. Switching instance types changes your hourly rate to match the new size. You can also add storage after launch. The 30-device limit stays the same across all six instance types.

Outstanding Centralized Log Management with Full Visibility Across Fortinet Devices
Reviewed on May 04, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The centralized log management is outstanding. Having full visibility across all of our Fortinet devices in one dashboard saves us a lot of time and makes it much easier to stay on top of everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Storage requirements can grow quickly in large environments, but the performance and insights you get in return more than justify the extra space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FortiAnalyzer solved our visibility problem entirely. Having all logs centralized in one platform means we can detect and respond to threats in minutes instead of hours.

FortiAnalyzer Delivers Centralized Visibility and Powerful Reporting
Reviewed on Mar 24, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I really appreciate about FortiAnalyzer is how it pulls everything together into one place. Instead of jumping between different tools or trying to piece logs together manually, it gives me centralized visibility across the entire Fortinet setup. That alone saves a lot of time and reduces the chance of missing something important. Reporting is something which needs to be appreciated. We have multiple reporting templates which really help us in multiple queries . IMPORTANT : Handler and connector features really helps us in Proactive monitoring where we intergrated with Webhook and alerts are triggered in through our teams which is one of the key features
What do you dislike about the product?
When dealing with Larger volume of logs , it takes more times and reporting few columns will be empty at times. Inner joint queries are not working in FAZ report generation . In the past, we had to merge two reports with a common column ,I tried writing a sql query and it dint work . FAZ documentation need to be better. Only who worked with Fortinet can manage FAZ
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fortinet is now concentrating to make the reporting time less compared to larger time . Also the handler and connector features really helps us in Proactive monitoring which triggers alert and helps our engineers to action the alerts. Eg. VPN down , HA failover , BGP flap etc
