We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and PRTG Network Monitor 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."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."
"FortiSIEM's log correlation is good."
"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 solution is very stable. It's run for years without the need to do anything except, add new patches when they are available, which are always a good idea to install."
"It's easy to manage. There's a web interface and a command line, depending on what the user is comfortable with. There's a large knowledge base available, and the support is timely."
"FortiSIEM helped us discover all the threats at the time that were attacking the IT services of the company. We now have multiple-level authentication."
"FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent."
"The solution is easy to use and user-friendly."
"PRTG gives us true visibility of the downtime of particular circuit functions. So if a circuit is up but not routing traffic, I will know with this tool. I can write a customized script for a sensor to detect specific things."
"The feature I like is that it can easily do a lot of mapping."
"Good compilation of the system's information."
"The sensors and remote probes are phenomenal. We use them for all of our global sites. The problem with our global sites are that they are all VPNs. If the link goes down, you can't monitor other solutions, as it just goes off the grid. Having remote probes allows them to still carry on and get the information that we need when it comes back up, sending the information to us."
"The real-time monitoring feature in PRTG is invaluable to me"
"This solution provides us with the needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It allows us to grab all the information from a single point of view."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to span multiple technologies and multiple vendors."
"The technical support seems to be quick, clever, and has a comprehensive knowledge base online, which is fantastic."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"The process of installing Fortinet FortiSIEM and the customization of the alerts take too long."
"The dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several locations or sites."
"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."
"The graphs on the user interface could be improved as we often experience glitches."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved."
"I would like to see network mapping."
"Integration into service management ticketing systems could be better. They should simplify the integration into big service management platforms like ServiceNow, Remedy, and Cherwell. They're really into monitoring, but they don't do any self-resolution. It would be better if the company moved more into the AIOps space so that you could actually kick off some remedies. I know that you can execute some commands from the tool, but you need to develop those all yourself. It would be really handy if they had some auto-remedy scripts that they could develop on top."
"The database needs improvement."
"In terms of sensors and probes, it would be really cool if PRTG had a purely Azure-based solution. We had to install a probe on one of our cloud servers and then let that probe out from there. It would be really cool if it just monitored Azure without having to install something on the device."
"Along with more room for automation, more room for advanced configuration can be integrated into the solution."
"I know we're going to move to Docker applications and I understand that PRTG does some monitoring regarding this. I do not know if it is complete. If it's not yet complete, it's something they should consider improving."
