"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"FortiSIEM's log correlation is good."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"FortiSIEM's best features are the dashboards and customization."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"The most valuable feature is the anomaly-reporting alarms."
"FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent."
"FortiSIEM helped us discover all the threats at the time that were attacking the IT services of the company. We now have multiple-level authentication."
"We like how Meraki Dashboard lets you manage all the devices in a single pane of glass. The dashboard is intuitive and easy to use. They are constantly updating the functionality. Switches from other vendors have the same features for the life of the device, but Meraki is always improving."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and a single-pane-of-glass that allows us to identify issues across the entire network from one dashboard."
"The dashboard itself is very simplified and easy to navigate."
"The ability of the product to perform with simplicity of deployment make it a valuable solution."
"Easy to configure with great troubleshooting feature."
"We like the visibility this solution gives us of the infrastructure."
"The ability to view the entire project stack, including the camera, features, and routers, which I believe are the most important or relevant components."
"We have found the client dashboard to be very simple to use, especially in our Meraki environment."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
"We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files."
"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."
"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 process of installing Fortinet FortiSIEM and the customization of the alerts take too long."
"Customer support service could be better."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"The pricing for this solution needs to be improved."
"There needs to be more improvement on the device-connected interface."
"Meraki Dashboard could improve the user interface by making it more user-friendly. The configuring can at times be difficult."
"The tool needs to incorporate more integration platforms. Integrating technical support features directly into the dashboard would be highly beneficial. This would allow technicians to troubleshoot issues more efficiently."
"The tool is useful for managing devices and monitoring their current state, but it falls short in troubleshooting network issues, particularly with access points. It does not provide a complete understanding of the root causes of the issues. As a result, network engineers have had to use additional tools to complement it and conduct assessments. The only way to improve the tool would be to enhance its capability to identify and resolve network issues effectively."
"Something that needs to be improved, is the fact that you if you don't renew the subscription license, it stops working. I would also like to see SSL BPM support for anything else."
"The downside to the simplicity is that you can't get as granular as you could with the Cisco APs."
"Meraki lacks their own software for connecting to the VPN which creates some issues."
