"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The interface is simple and easy to navigate."
"The initial setup is easy, and the deployment is fast."
"Our use case for Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is analyzing traffic. We use it to investigate complaints about account access, check if something is blocked or working, and understand what's happening inside them."
"The most important feature is to be able to get reports or information about the state of all firewalls."

"The product is easy to customize."
"The main thing I like about it is that it has an EDR."
"It's very easy to integrate Wazuh with other environments, cloud applications, and on-prem applications. So, the advantage is that it's easy to implement and integrate with other solutions."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."

"Technical support could respond to queries faster."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer could improve by having better integration with other vendors."
"The upgradation process is slow"

"FortiAnalyzer's price could be lower."
"The deployment is complex and has room for improvement."
"Wazuh doesn't cover sources of events as well as Splunk. You can integrate Splunk with many sources of events, but it's a painful process to take care of some sources of events with Wazuh."
"I have yet to find the same capability in Wazuh to get logs from different sources into the system"
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"I think that the next release should be more suitable for large enterprises, because currently they are not because large companies do not rely on open source solutions."
"Wazuh could improve the detection, it is not detecting all of the attacks. Additionally, it is lacking features compared to other solutions."
"The biggest part that's missing is threat intelligence. It isn't inbuilt, and if a sudden incident occurs, we don't get that feedback inside the SIEM tool. That's a big gap, I see. It would be better if we could get the threat intelligence feeds integrated with the SIEM tools. That would help us push value solutions to the clients in a big way."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"They could include flexibility and customization capabilities by modifying for customers based on partner agreements."
