We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis.""The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network.""The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts.""There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has.""Wire data analytics.""This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."

"Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses.""Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me.""We have found the most important features in Fortinet FortiSIEM to be the correlation, file utility check, latest file, and hash changes. These features are important for us.""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.""Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users.""We have many application systems, and I can set up Fortinet FortiSIEM for users to monitor their systems.""I like FortiSIEM because it integrates natively with our other Fortinet solutions and the Fortinet Fabric, but it also integrates with Cisco, Palo Alto and other security fabrics.""Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us."

Cons
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement.""I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data.""We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services.""They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that.""This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer.""Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Cons →

"Not very good on non-API features, lacks that functionality.""The process of installing Fortinet FortiSIEM and the customization of the alerts take too long.""The dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much.""There is no proper guide for integration or configuration.""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.""Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire.""The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data.""Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update."
