We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and SCOM 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."There are things like dashboards and reports (pre-configured and custom) that let me know that things are operating the way they should be, and when they are not."
"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."
"It's a very nice solution to work with."
"The primary valuable feature is that it has replaced a whole lot of other products with one platform."
"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."
"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."
"The solution is very stable. It's run for years without the need to do anything except, add new patches when they are available, which are always a good idea to install."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"The solution's reporting engine has given me detailed information on which applications or services I've either failed or about to fail in terms of the predictive makeup on Azure cloud."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"The process of installing Fortinet FortiSIEM and the customization of the alerts take too long."
"The graphs on the user interface could be improved as we often experience glitches."
"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."
"The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases."
"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."
"It lacks a "wizard" that shows a particular user's activity or particular circumstance. I think the interface is intimidating because there's so much information there."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"Third-party tools have had to be created to make SCOM management pack creation more efficient and effective. However, this weighs down the application as it just adds a resource requirement, which is ballooning the size of the necessary storage and all that for essentially substandard components."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
