We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It gives us reporting features, which are helpful in the case of troubleshooting and audit purposes."
"It's a very stable product."
"FortiAnalyzer has a robust ability to find a compromised host on your network, and when you identify a compromised host, you can address it."
"What I like the most is the monitoring system."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to analyze data in real-time using AR features to pull data from the industrial DB. You can know what is going on and see in milliseconds where the network is underperforming."
"The ability to gather all gateway information and logs in a single location is the most valuable feature."
"Based on the logs of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer you can have it trigger actions. For example, if the log has a word or a sentence you specified it can send an alert or Syslog to an email address."
"Storage in SSD helps in generating customized reports."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"The modules and the performance management reports that come with data insights are two of the most valuable features. I also find the reports for Wi-Fi, Netflow, LAN, and WAN for monitoring to be very good."
"The SMP and the xStats, which is for flat file integration, are both useful for integrating the various metrics that the device provides to monitor the performance of those systems."
"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"It's a great solution for highlighting and discovering useful information regarding our network's elements."
"I like the tool’s scalability and real-time reports. Earlier, we struggled to give real-time reports to clients. I also like the tool’s deployment model where we can deploy it either on-premises or in-house. We don’t have to carry the data all over the globe. Also, I am impressed with the tool's flow reporting and Wi-Fi."
"Flexible architecture: You can extend the system and its capacity by attaching another cluster pair."
"The out of the box reports and workflows are pretty good and they meet our requirements well."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer could improve by having better integration with other vendors."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer can improve by introducing integration with other Fortinet solutions with automation with one interface would be helpful."
"Feature-wise, it is working very well for us. We don't need any additional features. However, its pricing can be improved. For small business customers, price is an important factor."
"When it comes to pushing logs to a SIEM, most of the time we have some issues when it comes to filtering."
"The solution lacks business intelligence features. It's much too basic."
"The UI could use some improvement. It can be tough for a beginner to navigate because you don't know what to do even if you read the guide. I've talked to some users who said that they couldn't figure out what to do even after looking at the documentation."
"Their pricing model is not the best and needs work."
"One of the main disadvantages is not having a direct link to the security policy when you see something in the log."
"The one area with room for improvement is probably administration. They added data insights to make a better user experience, but I'd like to see some improvements in the way the system's administered."
"The user management features need to be improved. It would be nice if we had more granular control, or layers of control, out of the box."
"You need to plan integrations. That has been the biggest bug with SevOne so far. For the things that SevOne pulls directly, those are easy to understand, modify, and put into the database. For things that need to use the Universal Collector or xStats, you need to plan that stuff well in advance."
"High-frequency polling is data-intensive because you're pulling more. If SevOne could figure out a way to manage the impact of high-frequency polling on the system, that would be very popular."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"We previously have had discussions on some reporting enhancements. So, we raised a feature request, which was delivered from SevOne."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
