"It's a very nice solution to work with."
"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM has its own validated and authentic IP database that marks malicious IP attacks against the firewall and generates an alert for the same."

"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."
"It is used as an alerting platform."
"The ability to customize scripts and build your own queries to request information from the infrastructure elements you want to monitor. This level of personalization and customization is highly appreciated."
"Macros and the ability to connect it to Google Maps are valuable features."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The drafts are easy but what I like about Icinga is that there are many add-ons that you can download."
"This solution has a self-healing handler where if the service is down, it is automatically restarted."
"It is really easy in Icinga to create your own plugin and integrate it without any fuss. And it works just perfectly fine."
"I like the ability to amend and adjust things really easily, which is useful in a case where you could make it auto-discover and then set a template to say all of these applications or servers under this template have an automatic threshold set that you’d set up manually."
"The apply rules feature saves a lot of time."
"It would be good if the solution offered even more configuration options, especially in relation to the VPN so that it continues to be a very flexible option."

"They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto."
"One thing that Icinga lacks is the capability to create advanced and customized dashboards within the tool itself."

"The installation and configuration are very complex."
"The tool currently fails to provide notifications to users."
"We have found some problems with Nagios, and support isn't very responsive."
"The solution lacks many features important to higher-level IT management and network support."
"At this time, the layout of the website is a bit difficult. It should be more user-friendly for changing the background and logos."
"Icinga’s automation could be improved."
