We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and SolarWinds NPM 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."The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"FortiSIEM sends an email or SMS notifications to admins when there are significant incidents. It's a highly efficient way of responding to incidents."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. CMDB database collects data from a lot of pre-configured devices."
"We like the integration of all of these Fortinet platforms together. Everything is integrated well, and we are able to sell that as a service to our customers."
"The advanced agents used to collect logs have been most valuable. We have also made use of the advanced intelligence this solution offers."
"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."
"The event correlation is pretty robust. The GUI is pretty good."
"It is used as an alerting platform."
"The other valuable system is the DSS (decision support system). If there's a fault in the network, SolarWinds is basically capable of rectifying and resolving that problem on its own without any intervention from an IP assistant or administrator."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"If there is a configuration on the wrong side of the network or there are changes that result in harm to our IT infrastructure, the solution should immediately fix it."
"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
"Their product support, in general, is not that great. The product support is in the same ecosystem. Their support is improving but it's not that great.vvv"
"The graphs on the user interface could be improved as we often experience glitches."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having better integration and extensions. This would benefit by allowing us to give more rules."
"I would like to see easier implementation in the future."
"The solution could improve in many areas, such as the marketing and description of the products, providing areas of improvement, cloud capabilities, and being able to be more streamlined with the current integration points with other applications."
"It would be nice to have a test to check if you can access a particular device via API without installing it and waiting for a poll cycle. You should have the capacity to initiate a test to see if it was reachable and get the results almost immediately."
"The product is scalable, but at a cost. Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system"
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
"This product could improve by adding cloud monitoring. I want SolarWinds NPM to do much more integration, and have more involvement in cloud monitoring, like AWS or Google, or Azure. I feel like it requires lots of improvement for cloud monitoring in NPM."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"The aesthetic widgets should be dynamic widgets, so the customization can be even more customizable."
