We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and ManageEngine IT360 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."The dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."
"The UI-based analytics are excellent."
"The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies."
"The automation rules and playbooks are the most useful that I've seen. A number of other places segregate the automation and playbook as separate tools, whereas Microsoft is a SIEM and SOAR tool in one."
"Sentinel has features that have helped improve our security poster. It helped us in going ahead and identifying the gaps via analysis and focusing on the key elements."
"It is able to connect to an ever-growing number of platforms and systems within the Microsoft ecosystem, such as Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365 or Office 365, as well as to external services and systems that can be brought in and managed. We can manage on-premises infrastructure. We can manage not just the things that are running in Azure in the public cloud, but through Azure Arc and the hybrid capabilities, we can monitor on-premises servers and endpoints. We can monitor VMware infrastructure, for instance, running as part of a hybrid environment."
"We are able to deploy within half an hour and we only require one person to complete the implementation."
"I believe one of the main advantages is Microsoft Sentinel's seamless integration with other Microsoft products."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."
"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."
"FortiSIEM's best features are the dashboards and customization."
"We're able to get real-timec as well as our customer networks that we're monitoring at all times."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. CMDB database collects data from a lot of pre-configured devices."
"AccelOps can handle a lot of data and it's just so important to true monitoring. Also, I can create a lot of rules to detect anything I like."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"The technical support is good."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"Azure Sentinel will be directly competing with tools such as Splunk or Qradar. These are very established kinds of a product that have been around for the last seven, eight years or more."
"We are invoiced according to the amount of data generated within each log."
"They should integrate it with many other software-as-a-service providers and make connectors available so that you don't have to do any sort of log normalization."
"Sometimes, it is hard for us to estimate the costs of Microsoft Sentinel."
"We've seen delays in getting the logs from third-party solutions and sometimes Microsoft products as well. It would be helpful if Microsoft created a list of the delays. That would make things more transparent for customers."
"The playbook development environment is not as rich as it should be. There are multiple occasions when we face problems while creating the playbook."
"They can work on the EDR side of things... Every time we need to onboard these kinds of machines into the EDR, we need to do it with the help of Intune, to sync up the devices, and do the configuration. I'm looking for something on the EDR side that will reduce this kind of work."
"It would be good to have some connectors for third-party SIEM solutions. Many customers are struggling with the integration of Azure Sentinel with their on-premise SIEM. Microsoft is changing the log structure many times a year, which can corrupt a custom integration. It would be good to have some connectors developed by Microsoft or supply vendors, but they are not providing such functionality or tools."
"An improvement would be if FortiSIEM's licensing was based on the number of nodes rather than the EPS."
"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"The log collection and configuration management are not great."
"The process of installing Fortinet FortiSIEM and the customization of the alerts take too long."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Sometimes, if there are changes made by a user on a database server, it can be difficult to get that information on the fly. I would like to see a situation where once I specify a user with the database server I need, and with the changes they have performed on that, I don't need to continue my search pattern to drill down just to get the information."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
