We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and Sumo Logic Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."FortiSIEM sends an email or SMS notifications to admins when there are significant incidents. It's a highly efficient way of responding to incidents."
"FortiSIEM's log correlation is good."
"Our customer did not have security monitoring in the first place. With this solution, it provided security posture management and visibility about the security landscape and threats that they had."
"I like the various options, including the option for CMDB and the easier access to create rules, playbooks, or use cases. It's also easier to use for creating dashboards and reports."
"The seamless integration with FortiGate is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The solution’s IP database is awesome."
"Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction."
"FortiSIEM needs to expand its integration with third-party vendors. I don't know if Forcepoint has been added, but there were limited resources for integrating Forcepoint solutions when we implemented FortiSIEM. It integrates well with other Fortinet products and solutions from established cybersecurity companies like Palo Alto but doesn't integrate with some of the newer vendors."
"They could work on their documentation. If there's anything about the solution that needs improvement, it's that. For example, documentation already is on a very high level but specifically on the CLI there are tons of features which can be fine-tuned and thousands of commands are very difficult to document. If they could make this easier, it would improve the overall solution."
"Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time."
"The policy editing should be easier. Right now, it's too hard."
"The interface needs some improvements because it's a bit cumbersome when you're trying to view items. It takes some time to get used to. Additionally, sometimes the scrolling does not work."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems."
"The API integration in Sumo Logic Security could improve. There are delayed connections or they stop and then automatically start. Having a seamless log collection would be beneficial."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"If you want to up your subscription through the AWS Marketplace, it can be difficult. You can't just go back to the AWS Marketplace, and say, "I want a bigger one now." You have to contact the sales team, then they do it on the back-end. This could definitely be improved."
