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 event correlation is pretty robust. The GUI is pretty good."
"To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy."
"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."
"It gives us the opportunity to generate notifications based upon rules that get triggered, and the rules could be specific to PCI, HIPAA, GIBA, NIST, and so forth."
"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."
"The primary valuable feature is that it has replaced a whole lot of other products with one platform."
"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."
"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."
"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"The solution is stable."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"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"
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market."
"The product does not have Security Orchestration and Automation Response, I would recommend adding this feature."
"An improvement would be if FortiSIEM's licensing was based on the number of nodes rather than the EPS."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update."
"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."
"Not very good on non-API features, lacks that functionality."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
