We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and ScienceLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Splunk, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)."The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"Microsoft Sentinel enables you to ingest data from the entire ecosystem and that connection of data helps you to monitor critical resources and to know what's happening in the environment."
"The UI-based analytics are excellent."
"Another area where it is helping us is in creating a single dashboard for our environment. We can collect all the logs into a log analytics workset and run queries on top of it. We get all the results in the dashboard. Even a layman can understand this stuff. The way Microsoft presents it is really incredible."
"The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies."
"Sentinel enables us to ingest data from our entire ecosystem. In addition to integrating our Cisco ASA Firewall logs, we get our Palo Alto proxy logs and some on-premises data coming from our hardware devices... That is very important and is one way Sentinel is playing a wider role in our environment."
"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."
"The most valuable features are its threat handling and detection. It's a powerful tool because it's based on machine learning and on the behavior of malware."
"FortiSIEM's best features are the dashboards and customization."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It's a very nice solution to work with."
"The solution is easy to use and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the anomaly-reporting alarms."
"I like the various options, including the option for CMDB and the easier access to create rules, playbooks, or use cases. It's also easier to use for creating dashboards and reports."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM has its own validated and authentic IP database that marks malicious IP attacks against the firewall and generates an alert for the same."
"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."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"The power flow is great."
"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."
"I think the number one area of improvement for Sentinel would be the cost."
"Improvement-wise, I would like to see more integration with third-party solutions or old-school antivirus products that have some kind of logging capability. I wouldn't mind having that exposed within Sentinel. We do have situations where certain companies have bought licensing or have made an investment in a product, and that product will be there for the next two or three years. To be able to view information from those legacy products would be great. We can then better leverage the Sentinel solution and its capabilities."
"They could use some kind of workbook. There is some limitation doing the editing and creating the workbook."
"We're satisfied with the comprehensiveness of the security protection. That said, we do have issues sometimes where there have been global outages and we need to raise a ticket with Microsoft."
"Its implementation could be simpler. It is not really simple or straightforward. It is in the middle. Sometimes, connectors are a little bit complex."
"We'd like to see more connectors."
"There is room for improvement in entity behavior and the integration site."
"They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto."
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."
"It would be good if the solution offered even more configuration options, especially in relation to the VPN so that it continues to be a very flexible option."
"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."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update."
"We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
