We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and Trellix ESM 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 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."
"It has a lot of great features."
"The analytic rule is the most valuable feature."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Sentinel is that it's cloud-based."
"Previously, it was a little bit difficult to find where an incident came from, including which IP address and which country. So in Sentinel, it's very easy to find where the incident came from since we can easily get the information from the dashboard, after which we take action quickly."
"The native integration of the Microsoft security solution has been essential because it helps reduce some false positives, especially with some of the impossible travel rules that may be configured in Microsoft 365. For some organizations, that might be benign because they're using VPNs, etc."
"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."
"If you know how to do KQL (kusto query language) queries, which are how you query the log data inside Sentinel, the information is pretty rich. You can get down to a good level of detail regarding event information or notifications."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."
"It is used as an alerting platform."
"FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent."
"The solution is easy to use and user-friendly."
"One of the most valuable features is that we can combine SOC and NOC operations in the same tool. We can provide NOC and SOC services in the same tool for two separate teams. There are plenty of third-party solutions that integrate with FortiSIEM. All these solutions already have a ready integration, and we have the possibility to create a custom connector for these solutions. Its reports are also very good."
"It works well with medium to large-scale enterprises."
"The most valuable feature in ESM is its search and reporting feature. It's really nice."
"It has performed well and delivered the results that I have been looking for."
"The most valuable features of McAfee ESM are intrusion detection, malware protection, and the device controller."
"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us."
"Trellix ESM is very user-friendly."
"The solution is 100% stable. We really have had a great time working with it. It hasn't let us down."
"I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten. The deployment is completed in two days."
"The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."
"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."
"Add more out-of-the-box connectors with other SaaS platforms/applications."
"Not all information shows up in Sentinel. Sometimes there are items provided in 365 and if you looked in Sentinel you would not see them and therefore think they do not exist. There can be discrepancies between Microsoft tools."
"Sentinel could improve its ticketing and management. A few customers I have worked with liked to take the data created in Sentinel. You can make some basic efforts around that, but the customers wanted to push it to a third-party system so they could set up a proper ticketing management system, like ServiceNow, Jira, etc."
"Sometimes, we are observing large ingestion delays. We expect logs within 5 minutes, but it takes about 10 to 15 minutes."
"The product can be improved by reducing the cost to use AI machine learning."
"At the network level, there is a limitation in integrating some of the switches or routers with Microsoft Sentinel. Currently, SPAN traffic monitoring is not available in Microsoft Sentinel. I have heard that it is available in Defender for Identity, which is a different product. It would be good if LAN traffic monitoring or SPAN traffic monitoring is available in Microsoft Sentinel. It would add a lot of value. It is available in some of the competitor products in the market."
"They need to work with other security vendors. For example, we replaced our email gateway with Symantec, but we couldn't collect these logs with Azure Sentinel. Instead of collecting these logs with Azure Sentinel, we are collecting them on Qradar. We couldn't do it with Sentinel, which is a problem for us."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several locations or sites."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."
"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."
"It lacks a "wizard" that shows a particular user's activity or particular circumstance. I think the interface is intimidating because there's so much information there."
"We would welcome integrations with some of the new McAfee acquisitions, e.g., behavioural analytics."
"There should be support for multitenancy in the product."
"I would like to see fingerprint recognition included in the next release of this solution."
"Cloud integration has room for improvement because they're not full-fledged to integrate with the cloud solutions that come. They use different integration platforms to bring in data, and that needs to be improved."
"The support from McAfee ESM could improve. They could improve the speed."
"There's no software support from McAfee."
"Update to user interface from version 9 is cosmetic in some aspects, and after a few clicks you are back on the old interface."
"There are some banking and transactional cases that are local, South America transactions. I would like to see them add features that can be used locally, to make those transactions more reliable."
