Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the monitoring of servers and networks, because we have a lot of them and need to maintain control."
"It is decentralized, which is better, because you can reduce the load from a single system. Also, you get a better view because it's more independent. Then, for the management, it's nice because they have one central system. With that, they can manage all the other systems, as well. This means they don't have to configure each system by system. They can configure it from one single interface."
"I really like the filtering capabilities of it. You can easily tell what's critical next to what's okay, the state of the services. It's very easy to get the whole picture quickly."
"Centreon's most valuable feature is Opsgenie."
"E-mail alert notifications are valuable."
"We have all our tickets inside Centreon in real-time and can monitor a lot of ELP and CLN in real-time for application purposes."
"Centreon's most valuable features are preventative maintenance and cost-efficiency. Everything is monitored, and we get a log before the system fails. We have an opportunity to fix the issue and avoid downtime."
"We have the business activity monitoring, the map, and the MBI modules and they are all very good."
"It's a very nice solution to work with."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"The CMDB and the device discovery features are most valuable."
"To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."
"AccelOps can handle a lot of data and it's just so important to true monitoring. Also, I can create a lot of rules to detect anything I like."
"To get it started is a lot of work, since it comes empty. We had to push information into it to make it work."
"Release management and quality of testing need improvement, because with each major upgrade we have many issues coming in. Then, it takes several minor upgrades to get rid of them."
"Centreon needs to improve the granularity of the data as well as the graphical data. It would also be better to if there was improvement to the filtering/grouping system as well as the creation of views."
"There is room for improvement in the area of artificial intelligence. The product gives us a lot of information, but it's only information. We want the product to do more auto-remediation."
"It is necessary to improve service monitoring of database services in the free version."
"I would like to see a better UI, one which is more responsive."
"I think Centreon's security could be improved by leveraging AI. That's where things are heading in the industry."
"Centreon introduced network discovery in the most recent update. However, it doesn't work well. Our previous monitoring tool could discover networking equipment on the network and identify the relationships between the devices."
"The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update."
"Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time."
"Sometimes, if there are changes made by a user on a database server, it can be difficult to get that information on the fly. I would like to see a situation where once I specify a user with the database server I need, and with the changes they have performed on that, I don't need to continue my search pattern to drill down just to get the information."
"Patching is not great - we're not getting the support we'd expect."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
