Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Microsoft, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)."The most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high."
"What is most useful, is that it has a good connection to the Microsoft ecosystem, and I think that's the key part."
"Sentinel's most important feature is the ability to centralize all the logs in one place. There's no need to search multiple systems for information."
"The features that stand out are the detection engine and its integration with multiple data sources."
"The machine learning and artificial intelligence on offer are great."
"There are a lot of things you can explore as a user. You can even go and actively hunt for threats. You can go on the offensive rather than on the defensive."
"The analytic rule is the most valuable feature."
"The native integration of the Microsoft security solution has been essential because it helps reduce some false positives, especially with some of the impossible travel rules that may be configured in Microsoft 365. For some organizations, that might be benign because they're using VPNs, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the anomaly-reporting alarms."
"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the user and entity behave as analytics(UEBA). This feature mixes your data and provides useful information based on the behavior of the targeted."
"It's a very nice solution to work with."
"Our customer did not have security monitoring in the first place. With this solution, it provided security posture management and visibility about the security landscape and threats that they had."
"We're able to get real-timec as well as our customer networks that we're monitoring at all times."
"FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent."
"The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"The installation process is not hard at all."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"Given that I am in the small business space, I wish they would make it easier to operate Sentinel without being a Sentinel expert. Examples of things that could be easier are creating alerts and automations from scratch and designing workbooks."
"The dashboards can be improved. Creating dashboards is very easy, but the visualizations are not as good as Microsoft Power BI. People who are using Microsoft Power BI do not like Sentinel's dashboards."
"Its implementation could be simpler. It is not really simple or straightforward. It is in the middle. Sometimes, connectors are a little bit complex."
"I can't think of anything other than just getting the name out there. I think a lot of customers don't fully understand the full capabilities of Azure Sentinel yet. It is kind of like when they're first starting to use Azure, it might not be something they first think about. So, they should just kind of get to the point where it is more widely used."
"I would like to see more AI used in processes."
"When we pass KPIs to the governance department, there's no option to provide rights to the data or dashboard to colleagues. We can use Power BI for this, but it isn't easy or convenient. They should just come up with a way to provide limited role-based access to auditing personnel"
"They should just add more and more out-of-the-box connectors. It is quite a new product, and it has a lot of connectors, and even more would be good."
"The reporting could be more structured."
"FortiSIEM needs to expand its integration with third-party vendors. I don't know if Forcepoint has been added, but there were limited resources for integrating Forcepoint solutions when we implemented FortiSIEM. It integrates well with other Fortinet products and solutions from established cybersecurity companies like Palo Alto but doesn't integrate with some of the newer vendors."
"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."
"The challenge I face with Fortinet FortiSIEM is the lack of support."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several locations or sites."
"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."
"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."
"Does not have load-sharing or high-availability, and these are important things to implement. I can do the same things in another way, but not naturally having these features makes it complicated."
"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."
