Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There is a good amount of vendor certification which comes with the product. That's all factory-loaded, no need to load any custom-made files. Most of the metrics are calibrated and captured from the devices based on the defaults available from vendor certification.""The tool helps us understand network performance.""My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him.​""The integration with NetFlow, the NFA solution, so that we can have our flow forensics paired with the SNMP polling performance metrics on the same page.""We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device.""Downloads and records are the most valuable features.""The capability where not only the traditional SNMP information is captured but also the netflow data; who is consuming the data on the WAN, and voice-related information, is helpful. The voice quality makes it very easy for first- and second-line operators to see where the issue is, and who is impacted.""Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events.""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.""The solution is easy to use and user-friendly.""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.""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.""To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy.""We find the solution to be stable.""The most valuable feature is the dashboard. CMDB database collects data from a lot of pre-configured devices."

Cons
"I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability.""It needs role-based administration.""This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements.""It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers.""Even though we can see when something is not available, it would also be it would be nice if some sort of alerting took place to that you could know immediately if something went down.""I think it would be helpful having a more comprehensive set of certifications so that I could natively deploy devices to my environment and the tool would immediately recognize and immediately be able to provide relevant performance information without a lot of tuning on my part.""For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth.""It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."

More DX Performance Management Cons →

"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors.""Not very good on non-API features, lacks that functionality.""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.""The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions.""The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases.""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.""Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update.""Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. ​"
  • "Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."
  • "They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."
  • "I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
  • "We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."
  • "The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."
  • More DX Performance Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Please be cheaper and more simplified."
  • "We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
  • "Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
  • "Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."
  • "The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
  • "They have a yearly subscription."
  • "The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
  • "Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
