We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and NETSCOUT nGeniusONE 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."It works well with medium to large-scale enterprises."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"The event correlation is pretty robust. The GUI is pretty good."
"The advanced agents used to collect logs have been most valuable. We have also made use of the advanced intelligence this solution offers."
"FortiSIEM sends an email or SMS notifications to admins when there are significant incidents. It's a highly efficient way of responding to incidents."
"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's most valuable feature is the simplicity in handling multi-tenancy and the ability to switch between different clients at the same time. That was handled flawlessly."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The solution helps to troubleshoot and put our hands on the weak points of customer networks."
"It helps us get to the root cause quickly. It helps us find massive error codes, then we drill down on that error code, knowing that is the source of our problem."
"Network faults are easily and quickly identified through dashboards and drill down."
"The most valuable feature of NETSCOUT nGeniusONE is it helps customer to understand what risks are in their network. For example, if a customer has some wrong configurations. It could cost them some critical services to slow down."
"The valuable features include packet analysis, packet capture, and [that] it's easy to use."
"The visual and graphical interfaces in the display that it provides for us to show our senior leadership. We can show them what is actually happening, instead of a spreadsheet."
"The most valuable feature is that it is in line with the traffic. It already captures the raw traffic itself and then filters it, giving us the correct image. Some other companies may just extract what they think is valuable from the traffic itself. nGeniusONE is in line."
"Valuable features include data threat detection, network analytics, and overall bandwidth monitoring."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"I would like to see easier implementation in the future."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"With FortiSIEM, the issue has to do with the ways we can generate a report. It's not as flexible compared to that with other SIEM tools, like Splunk."
"We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"Network detection and response is a separate product."
"One of the products we use is SolarWinds, and it provides a very cool mapping of an agent from end-to-end. If NETSCOUT could somehow implement that into their design... make it quicker and easier to get those net paths, it would be huge."
"We would like more encryption of customer data, because we have a very security conscious company. We have a lot of regulation coming in which requires us to make customer data private."
"Our biggest area of concern right now, supporting the applications, is that while NETSCOUT does a good job of monitoring the network and the applications, we need more visibility into system health and performance monitoring."
"The dependency mapping is good, but I am hopeful that they will build some type of partnership and relationship with ServiceNow. I want to see NETSCOUT partner with ServiceNow so they can leverage Service Now Discovery and Service Mapping to automate the build of the service dependency mappings inside of nGeniusONE."
"On a network the size of ours, the loading times seem a little extensive, 20 or 30 seconds to load up some graphs."
"Some help screens would be nice, especially if we bring on new operators. It would be great to see if they have more helpful tips available."
"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."
"This is a typical thing, but every time they do a major code upgrade, we get hit with some nasty bugs. Some of them literally stop the whole platform from collecting traffic data. They should really do more Q&A on the software stability before release."
