"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"The fault management is perfect."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The advanced agents used to collect logs have been most valuable. We have also made use of the advanced intelligence this solution offers."
"The most valuable features for us are the built-in reports and alerts, along with the extreme flexibility in reporting and rule generation."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. CMDB database collects data from a lot of pre-configured devices."
"I like FortiSIEM because it integrates natively with our other Fortinet solutions and the Fortinet Fabric, but it also integrates with Cisco, Palo Alto and other security fabrics."
"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."
"The solution is very stable. It's run for years without the need to do anything except, add new patches when they are available, which are always a good idea to install."
"It works well with medium to large-scale enterprises."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"The graphs on the user interface could be improved as we often experience glitches."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."
"The dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"The log collection and configuration management are not great."
"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."
"If there is a configuration on the wrong side of the network or there are changes that result in harm to our IT infrastructure, the solution should immediately fix it."
"It would be good if the solution offered even more configuration options, especially in relation to the VPN so that it continues to be a very flexible option."
