We performed a comparison between Exabeam Fusion SIEM and Fortinet FortiSOAR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are some very powerful features to Sentinel, such as the integration of various connectors. We have a lot of departments that use both IaaS and SaaS services, including M365 as well as Azure services. The ability to leverage connectors into these environments allows for large-scale data injection."
"The part that was very unexpected was Sentinel's ability to integrate with Azure Lighthouse, which, as a managed services solution provider, gives us the ability to also manage our customers' Sentinel environments or Sentinel workspaces. It is a big plus for us. With its integration with Lighthouse, we get the ability to monitor multiple workspaces from one portal. A lot of the Microsoft Sentinel workbooks already integrate with that capability, and we save countless amounts of money by simply being able to almost immediately realize multitenant capabilities. That alone is a big plus for us."
"The product can integrate with any device."
"It is always correlating to IOCs for normal attacks, using Azure-related resources. For example, if any illegitimate IP starts unusual activity on our Azure firewall, then it automatically generates an alarm for us."
"It is easy to implement (turn on) - does need a skilled analyst to develop queries and playbooks."
"Sentinel has an intuitive, user-friendly way to visualize the data properly. It gives me a solid overview of all the logs. We get a more detailed view that I can't get from the other SIEM tools. It has some IP and URL-specific allow listing"
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Sentinel is that it's cloud-based."
"We can use Sentinel's playbook to block threats. It covers all of the environment, giving us great visibility."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"I have customers that like the EUBA functionality of it. The solution has the ability to build a session, basically. It pulls a lot of information together, for example, everything a user does in a specific timeframe. It's quite helpful."
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"The user interface and the timelines they use are the most valuable features. The price model is very simple so that one can understand it easily and there are no surprises within it."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"It has a quick detection and response time."
"The good news is that FortiSOAR is not hard to maintain. If you prepared well and deployed strong initially, then maintenance will take half an hour every other week, not more than that. A single person can do it."
"We use the product for security."
"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"The product can be automated for network security purposes. The solution offers a great security automation response."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"The solution could be more user-friendly; some query languages are required to operate it."
"Given that I am in the small business space, I wish they would make it easier to operate Sentinel without being a Sentinel expert. Examples of things that could be easier are creating alerts and automations from scratch and designing workbooks."
"The troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"We've seen delays in getting the logs from third-party solutions and sometimes Microsoft products as well. It would be helpful if Microsoft created a list of the delays. That would make things more transparent for customers."
"The solution should allow for a streamlined CI/CD procedure."
"Azure Sentinel will be directly competing with tools such as Splunk or Qradar. These are very established kinds of a product that have been around for the last seven, eight years or more."
"I would like to be able to monitor applications outside of the Azure Cloud."
"Everyone has their favorites. There is always room for improvement, and everybody will say, "I wish you could do this for me or that for me." It is a personal thing based on how you use the tool. I do not necessarily have those thoughts, and they are probably not really valuable because they are unique to the context of the user, but broadly, where it can continue to improve is by adding more connectors to more systems."
"We had a large volume right from the beginning and they weren't quite prepared for that. That's something that they should think about when it comes to customers that have a large volume to start off with."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"They need to focus on more of the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and coverage. They claim they cover about 70 to 80%. I'm not sure if it's really quite that much, however."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"Technical support could be improved."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices."
"I don't currently see where the solution is lacking features. For us and for our clients it works very well and we're pleased with it."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
