We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and Zabbix 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."Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us."
"The most valuable features for us are the built-in reports and alerts, along with the extreme flexibility in reporting and rule generation."
"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's a very nice solution to work with."
"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto."
"The log collection and configuration management are not great."
"The solution needs to do a better job with third party integration. Right now, that's lacking on the solution. I specifically am talking about the AWS environment. Most of the AWS environment products do not have that capability to integrate."
"The product does not have Security Orchestration and Automation Response, I would recommend adding this feature."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
"The support of the product changed recently, and I don't think it's for the better. They should work to improve the support they offer to clients."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"The documentation could be improved."
"Implementing Zabbix is difficult. I've deployed many solutions over the years, and Zabbix is the hardest to implement. You have to do some development to get it to work with IBM, Micro Focus, or HP products."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
"The stability could be better."
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"The server monitoring could be better."
