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."The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate."
"It is used as an alerting platform."
"To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy."
"The seamless integration with FortiGate is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."
"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."
"The installation is not that complex."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are user-friendly, and the graphical interface is good for all the network devices that are mapped in this organization. It's very easy to find reports for any devices that we are looking for."
"Nice product with an easy interface to use and a large variety of sensors."
"The Slack integration is fantastic, and I've actually found it to be very useful recently."
"PRTG is integrated on Windows."
"The initial setup was easy. We didn't have any issues with the process and everything rolled out smoothly."
"The up-to-date graphs and the history are very good."
"The reporting module is easy to configure."
"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."
"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."
"I would like to see easier implementation in the future."
"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."
"Network detection and response is a separate product."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"When compared with some competitors, in terms of performance, the CPU and RAM requirements and the capability of coordination with development all need some improvement."
"Improvements in data storage flexibility, such as allowing customers to specify data retention periods, would enhance PRTG."
"The solution has to evolve as an end-to-end monitoring solution. It has to do better at understanding the application at the deepest level."
"PRTG could use reporting tools and mobile alert tools. It should be easier to diagnose and respond to problems from a mobile device on the go."
"I am not sure the solution is giving me all the needed feedback that we need. When something goes off on our IT infrastructure, it does tell me. However, it would be nice if it gave more intuitive information, e.g., the hard drive has gone up by 60 percent in an hour."
"Its price can be better. Its price is a problem for us because it is in dollars, and there is a high conversion rate. In terms of new features, it can have BGP monitoring. It should also have a dashboard and maps editor."
"I would like to see network mapping."
"With custom sensors, there is a lot of work which needs to be done in the background, just for it to be tailor-made for the specific thing that we are actually monitoring. We take a lot of time with the custom sensors. I would like to see the customer sensor be more robust and a bit more varied."
"This product can be improved by updating the net flow interface. The one that is in place works – I can get all the information I need from it – but it is a little bit clunky."
