A good solution for network monitoring and support management, but there is no centralized database

There is no centralized database. It is an issue if you use a local database and have multiple borders. However, if you have an external database, you can keep the same old data from an old border up to 100 borders. In addition, if we want to create an ABI or use an ABI to connect data, there is no competition when we ask for support. If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service. Other competitors like Micro Focus, a network management system, have a new supportability matrix in the market every quarter.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."

"The most valuable feature of Entuity is network mapping and information. When clicking on a particular location it can automatically survey the connectivity diagram for us. We can arrange this icon in any kind of formats, such as ring or mesh. The networking mapping can show the components and interconnectivity with the help of IP addresses and NetFlow."

"The setup was very simple and took about an hour."

"Event management and the geographical Google API-based network topology are the most valuable features of Entuity."

"This is a product that is easy to deploy and maintain with a positive end-user experience."

"One of the most valuable features of Entuity is the user interface."

"The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes."

"Entuity's best feature is its ability to monitor a large number of devices."

More Entuity pros

"We have many application systems, and I can set up Fortinet FortiSIEM for users to monitor their systems."

"Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses."

"FortiSIEM's best features are the dashboards and customization."

"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."

"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."

"FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent."

"We have found the most important features in Fortinet FortiSIEM to be the correlation, file utility check, latest file, and hash changes. These features are important for us."

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

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

Cons

"A typical user might want to see even more depth to the standard reporting and ease of integration."

"We would like the backup element of this solution to be improved as, at present, it is very limited and does not have much scope for customization."

"Entuity can expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more."

"It should support IPAM or IP Address Management. When it comes to the network, IP Address Management is a feature for which we have to use a different solution. When we are managing networks, if IPAM also becomes a part of this, we do not have to look for a separate solution."

"If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service."

"The configuration of the logging could be improved because if someone deleted any note or inventory, or some change to the inventory, we are not able to identify which user or which administrator modifies these details. For example, there should be read-only locks on maps to prevent their deletion. This way people can only read and cannot delete that particular map."

"Entuity can improve the fetching of device configuration. The solution uses scripts and I could not understand them or find any recourses on the internet to learn about the language that is used in the script. It could be more user-friendly and the device configuration management could be enhanced."

"In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it."

More Entuity cons

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

"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."

"An improvement would be if FortiSIEM's licensing was based on the number of nodes rather than the EPS."

"The graphs on the user interface could be improved as we often experience glitches."

"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."

"We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files."

"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."

"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Entuity's licensing is very highly-priced."

"It varies and depends on the quantity. It's worth the cost."

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."

"We have 400 licenses and we are only using 150 licenses."

"It can be comparatively expensive but that is because it is comprehensive."

"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."

"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."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

"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."

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

"Please be cheaper and more simplified."

"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
