CloudCheckr vs Fortinet FortiSIEM comparison

"The solution is scalable for our purposes."

"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 solution is mostly stable."

"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 recommendation section is pretty helpful."

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

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"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."

"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."

"We find the solution to be stable."

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."

"The most valuable feature is the anomaly-reporting alarms."

"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. CMDB database collects data from a lot of pre-configured devices."

"One of the most valuable features is that we can combine SOC and NOC operations in the same tool. We can provide NOC and SOC services in the same tool for two separate teams. There are plenty of third-party solutions that integrate with FortiSIEM. All these solutions already have a ready integration, and we have the possibility to create a custom connector for these solutions. Its reports are also very good."

"The solution must improve its user interface."

"The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited."

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

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

"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."

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

"Self-healing could be a bit smoother and a bit cleaner, easier to access and more functional. That would help."

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

"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"

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

"Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire."

"The tool's technical team's response time is too high, and they are not available even when they know that there are many pending issues."

"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."

"There could be improvements like introducing some solutions directly into FortiSIEM to avoid the need for separately purchasing additional tools like FortiStore."

"It lacks a "wizard" that shows a particular user's activity or particular circumstance. I think the interface is intimidating because there's so much information there."

"FortiSIEM needs to expand its integration with third-party vendors. I don't know if Forcepoint has been added, but there were limited resources for integrating Forcepoint solutions when we implemented FortiSIEM. It integrates well with other Fortinet products and solutions from established cybersecurity companies like Palo Alto but doesn't integrate with some of the newer vendors."

"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."

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"The cost is on par with other providers."

"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."

"Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."

"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."

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight out of ten. Compared with Splunk or Oracle, Fortinet is cheap."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."

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

"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."

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