We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and New Relic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Microsoft, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)."It has a lot of great features."
"I like the KQL query. It simplifies getting data from the table and seeing the logs. All you need to know are the table names. It's quite easy to build use cases by using KQL."
"Free ingestion for Azure logs (with E5 licence)"
"In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store"
"The features that stand out are the detection engine and its integration with multiple data sources."
"The in-built SOAR of Sentinel is valuable. Kusto Query Language is also valuable for the ease of writing queries and ease of getting insights from the logs. Schedule-based queries within Sentinel are also valuable. I found these three features most useful for my projects."
"The AI capability is one of the main features of the solution because I believe that in the market, there are few solutions that are providing security solutions based on AI and machine learning."
"You can fine-tune the SOAR and you'll be charged only when your playbooks are triggered. That is the beauty of the solution because the SOAR is the costliest component in the market today... but with Sentinel it is upside-down: the SOAR is the lowest-hanging fruit. It's the least costly and it delivers more value to the customer."
"FortiSIEM's log correlation is good."
"We have found the most important features in Fortinet FortiSIEM to be the correlation, file utility check, latest file, and hash changes. These features are important for us."
"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 Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."
"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."
"Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories."
"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."
"It works well with medium to large-scale enterprises."
"New features are added often."
"The solution is scalable, and it is easy because all the documentation is available."
"The stability of New Relic APM is very good."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"They instrument up from the bottom to the top – every piece of code - they have a very perfect read of what’s being done, and how long it’s taking."
"There are many valuable features in New Relic APM. We developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily. Their log security retention is very good."
"Sometimes, I monitor the user's time of response and use this information to improve the number of servers on the back-end. Or, I can use it to change my back log for front-end developers and improve their response times. It's very important in this case because I can improve the experience of the final user."
"Some of the data connectors are outdated, at least the ones that utilize Linux machines for log forwarding. I believe that Microsoft is already working on improving this."
"The only thing is sometimes you can have a false positive."
"While I appreciate the UI itself and the vast amount of information available on the platform, I'm finding the overall user experience to be frustrating due to frequent disconnections and the requirement to repeatedly re-authenticate."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
"They should just add more and more out-of-the-box connectors. It is quite a new product, and it has a lot of connectors, and even more would be good."
"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."
"It could have a better API to be able to automate many things more extensively and get more extensive data and more expensive deployment possibilities. It can gain some points on the automation part and the integration part. The API is very limited, and I would like to see it extended a bit more."
"They could use some kind of workbook. There is some limitation doing the editing and creating the workbook."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"The UI could improve in Fortinet FortiSIEM. Humans view the UI frequently for data and if it was more visually pleasing it would be beneficial."
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."
"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."
"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."
"Customer support service could be better."
"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
"The product does not have Security Orchestration and Automation Response, I would recommend adding this feature."
"Some of our customers see New Relic as a promising product to have, and we would like to deliver it to them. The only way we would be able to do that would be if we had server appliance for clients that we could install in their data centres."
"The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."
"The scalability can be improved."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment needs improvement on the filtering part. I would like it to go more granular on accounts."
"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"Documentation is one of the biggest things that I have a problem with since its documentation is not clear sometimes."
"It gives you amazing statistics, but doesn’t give you enough information about what to do with the statistics."
"The product has good documentation for Linux, however, their documentation for Windows is lacking substantially. It's something they need to develop."
