Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"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."
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"Its robust security and performance are the two main features. We also use the log reporting feature."
"The product can scale."
"We use this functionality every day, and obtain reports on things like how many people are using the VPN, which websites are being accessed, and whether hackers are trying to penetrate into our network."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer are the dashboards and supporting services."
"The solution does what it is supposed to. I want it to do reports for Fortinet and it does it well."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is to be able to see everything in our network in a single task. A single menu and the graphical bar charts that it provides to give insights are very useful. It also gives very good metrics on bandwidth utilization, CPU, and device performance. It is very simple and easy to use as well."
"FortiAnalyzer has a user-friendly interface with a quick response and good analytics. It's very secure because it's taking the log from the devices on a secure channel, so there is no problem with that in your network."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is reporting."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"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."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"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."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"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."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer should come bundled with other Fortinet solutions. Additionally, the performance and updates could improve. They need to test their updates better so there are not as many bugs."
"The UI could use some improvement. It can be tough for a beginner to navigate because you don't know what to do even if you read the guide. I've talked to some users who said that they couldn't figure out what to do even after looking at the documentation."
"The integration between specific tenants and FortiAnalyzer can be simplified when utilizing a multi-tenant EMS for our FortiClient."
"The FortiAnalyzer is not scalable."
"They could always improve the interface and the user experience."
"We should be able to do the patch upgrades in a centralized manner. This functionality is currently not there. It would be good to be able to do the firmware updates from one place and at the same time. Currently, if we want to update all appliances, we require FortiManager, which is another solution from Fortinet. Its documentation can be improved. It will be helpful for implementing the product and gaining knowledge for management purposes."
"If Fortinet could introduce some firewalling or maybe FortiAnalyzer on the cloud, that would be interesting because I've never seen it on a cloud."
"The only issue that I can see is with the cost. For example, if you buy support for one year, you are messed up next year. It's better to buy another gateway."
