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."We're able to get real-timec as well as our customer networks that we're monitoring at all times."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM's most valuable feature is the simplicity in handling multi-tenancy and the ability to switch between different clients at the same time. That was handled flawlessly."
"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."
"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."
"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."
"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."
"Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."
"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."
"One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this."
"The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart."
"The tool is simple to use."
"The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure."
"Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network."
"The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources."
"The interface needs some improvements because it's a bit cumbersome when you're trying to view items. It takes some time to get used to. Additionally, sometimes the scrolling does not work."
"Patching is not great - we're not getting the support we'd expect."
"The policy editing should be easier. Right now, it's too hard."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"They could work on their documentation. If there's anything about the solution that needs improvement, it's that. For example, documentation already is on a very high level but specifically on the CLI there are tons of features which can be fine-tuned and thousands of commands are very difficult to document. If they could make this easier, it would improve the overall solution."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
"There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms."
"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"
"The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations."
"It is an ancient product."
"This product's connection to certain types of cloud systems could be improved. We can do Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, but there are a lot of other things happening in the cloud that we do not connect well enough to. This product could be improved with better connection to cloud-based solutions."
"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."
"There is no integration in the web-side of the tool."
"You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced."
