We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer 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."We have many application systems, and I can set up Fortinet FortiSIEM for users to monitor their systems."
"The most valuable features for us are the built-in reports and alerts, along with the extreme flexibility in reporting and rule generation."
"We're able to get real-timec as well as our customer networks that we're monitoring at all times."
"The solution is very stable. It's run for years without the need to do anything except, add new patches when they are available, which are always a good idea to install."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"The solution is easy to use and user-friendly."
"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."
"The most valuable features are the bandwidth analyzer, the monitoring, the network analyzer, it has overall good performance, and an easy deployment."
"As it offers enterprise solutions, it has all the essential features for business."
"I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the alarm that is set up to trigger based on bandwidth utilization."
"In terms of the implementation, we've actually used SAM, the server and application monitoring tools. The network configuration tools are very useful in terms of bulk upgrading switches and infrastructure. Also, the Network Traffic Analyzer was extremely useful to track down errant users soaking up bandwidth."
"The performance analysis is a valuable feature. With the performance analyzer, we can see the realtime monitoring, the realtime performance, and historical performance on specific components like virtualization storage, CPU, servers and network equipment."
"SolarWinds has improved our organization because whenever a device is down, we get an alert."
"I like that it is able to monitor multiple devices and it's vendor-agnostic."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several locations or sites."
"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."
"Customer support service could be better."
"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."
"When compared with some competitors, in terms of performance, the CPU and RAM requirements and the capability of coordination with development all need some improvement."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."
"I would like to see easier implementation in the future."
"We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files."
"What needs improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is performance because sometimes, my team struggles too much for the solution to perform correctly for a specific deployment in my organization. Having a more detailed view in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is another area for improvement, but that's more part of the protocol than the actual solution."
"It can be complex to set up and configure."
"The pricing is expensive."
"I would like to see more training videos and additional material for learning how to use this solution."
"It's scalable, but it could be simplified because it's not completely easy."
"The licensing should be more realistic so that we can adjust the number of nodes according to my needs, rather than in fixed increments."
"They should work on the configuration of the Log Analyzer feature."
"This solution does not do a very good job when I am trying to look deeper into my internal network, in particular with respect to individual ports."
