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."
"Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories."
"We have many application systems, and I can set up Fortinet FortiSIEM for users to monitor their systems."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"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."
"FortiSIEM's log correlation is good."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."
"The event correlation is pretty robust. The GUI is pretty good."
"It discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"This solution helps our application teams by allowing them to drill further into issues and perform a root cause analysis."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"Network detection and response is a separate product."
"It's difficult to integrate unsupported devices with FortiSIEM compared to QRadar. It's easier to integrate and develop processes in QRadar. It's harder to develop a custom process in FortiSIEM."
"Their product support, in general, is not that great. The product support is in the same ecosystem. Their support is improving but it's not that great.vvv"
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
"Patching is not great - we're not getting the support we'd expect."
"I would like to see easier implementation in the future."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"Of course, price is always an issue with Microsoft and could be improved."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"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."
