CloudCheckr vs Fortinet FortiSIEM comparison

"The recommendation section is pretty helpful."

"It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better."

"CloudCheckr has impacted my organization positively by making things easier and saving time, approximately three hours a week."

"The most valuable feature of CloudCheckr CMx High Security is granular reporting. Additionally, the user interface is easy to use."

"The best feature I like about CloudCheckr CMx High Security is its simplicity. I love that it's not rocket science to use the solution. Even if you're not familiar with the cloud, you can easily figure out how to use CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You can use AWS, you can use Azure, and you can use GCP with the solution because the integration is quite simple. You can also use multi-cloud with it, and you could see the billing part. You'll have complete visibility into your cost which I love about the solution. I also love that data on any security issues and vulnerabilities are available on the go with CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You don't need to do anything different. Just run the scan and you'll have all these open findings in the tool, in terms of the priority level, so if it's critical, it will tell you, "It's critical," and you need to fix it right away."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"CloudCheckr has enabled an average cost saving of approximately 25% from the last year, and this occurred while also increasing the scale of production."

"The solution is mostly stable."

"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."

"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."

"The solution’s IP database is awesome."

"The most valuable features for us are the built-in reports and alerts, along with the extreme flexibility in reporting and rule generation."

"The CMDB and the device discovery features are most valuable."

"It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security."

"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."

"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."

"The solution must improve its user interface."

"The solution needs to work better with larger capacities of data."

"What needs to be improved in CloudCheckr CMx High Security is integration. All the clouds are going quite fast, for example, all the cloud providers: Microsoft, Google, etc. CloudCheckr CMx High Security is good with AWS, no doubt about it, but with Azure and Google Cloud, I find that the solution is slow in that direction. If the vendor planned for CloudCheckr CMx High Security to be automated just for AWS, then it does make sense. If not, if the vendor is also targeting good integration with Google and Microsoft, then CloudCheckr CMx High Security integration needs improvement, in particular, it has to be faster. At the moment, its integration with Azure is not as good as its integration with AWS. With GCP, integration is nowhere."

"Many features still need to be implemented in this tool."

"CloudCheckr CMx High Security is complex. There are a lot of menus, and if you do not know what you are looking for you can get lost. However, the interface is self-explanatory. It's easy to understand where to go to get what you want."

"The performance of the tool really needs to be improved."

"Some aspects could be made more customizable, such as the dashboard and UI."

"The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several locations or sites."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having better integration and extensions. This would benefit by allowing us to give more rules."

"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."

"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."

"I would like to see easier implementation in the future."

"The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases."

"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."

"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 solution is reasonably priced."

"The cost is on par with other providers."

"A license is needed to use CloudCheckr CMx High Security, but because we are a managed service provider, the price of the license would vary. It depends on the type of cloud users we have, for example, it would be some type of percentage or monthly billing, etc."

"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."

"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."

"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."

"Please be cheaper and more simplified."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."

"This is probably more on the lower cost end of the spectrum compared to competing products. Fortinet's license model is based on events per second, which makes sense, but that's not typical. It makes it very hard to calculate what your costs are going to be as you scale the platform because some log sources, such as firewall logs, are very noisy, and there are lots and lots of events per second, but some of them are not. So, it becomes a bit of a science experiment trying to guess what your costs are going to be as you scale the solution. This is where other competing products perhaps have a more straightforward license model."

"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
