"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."
"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."
"To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy."
"Our customer did not have security monitoring in the first place. With this solution, it provided security posture management and visibility about the security landscape and threats that they had."
"We like the integration of all of these Fortinet platforms together. Everything is integrated well, and we are able to sell that as a service to our customers."
"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."
"The most valuable features for us are the built-in reports and alerts, along with the extreme flexibility in reporting and rule generation."
"The most valuable feature is visibility."
"From the standpoint of VoLTE and related things, it's providing visibility into the network and how it operates."
"Network faults are easily and quickly identified through dashboards and drill down."
"With the Vprobes, we quickly identified issues on the application servers, which we normally couldn't, where it usually would be a full circle round between our NOC and server people."
"It catches bigger issues on a weekly basis. That's how often we find something big enough that the only reason we know about it is because of the nGeniusONE. The bigger issues are mostly security-type issues: Odd traffic leaving our network or coming into it, that has found its way past a firewall."
"The solution helps to troubleshoot and put our hands on the weak points of customer networks."
"When we have any type of outage, and we dig into it, we are able to tell what the root cause is instead of having to go through Wireshark, etc."
"The ability of the dashboards is useful for discover, mapping and understanding of application behaviour."
"The process of installing Fortinet FortiSIEM and the customization of the alerts take too long."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several locations or sites."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."
"NETSCOUT nGeniusONE can improve the detection of what area of the infrastructure could be having an issue, such as an application, server, or network. It needs to find evidence of a fault."
"There are so many features that it makes it hard to know it all. You end up paying for things that you don't use and probably don't even need. It might be better if Netscout came up with a modular way to pay for what you're going to use and not pay for all of this "white elephant" without being able to take advantage of all of it."
"Some of the filters could be easier to see and to set up. That's the only thing that I've ever had any trouble with."
"The single pane of glass view is a challenge. I like the graphics, they're easy to understand, but when more digging is required, it's more complicated to get what I'm expecting."
"NETSCOUT nGeniusONE is a complex product since it deals in areas like network packet brokers and packet analysis, making the tool complicated for end users."
"The technical support could improve a bit with quicker responses for early on questions. What I think are simple questions are taking a long time to get answers to."
"While it is good, the single pane of glass view is too high level. It is better for management or someone doing sanity checks. A lot of times, I need to go deeper into the additional screens to get what I want out of it."
"Initial setup was complex."
