We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The analyzer is the most valuable feature."
"The most important feature is to be able to get reports or information about the state of all firewalls."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to gather logs and generate reports."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to analyze data in real-time using AR features to pull data from the industrial DB. You can know what is going on and see in milliseconds where the network is underperforming."
"The traffic log information we receive from Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is valuable."
"The solution provides good standardized reports and is easy to troubleshoot."
"Log View is the most valuable part for us, as we can view logs from different Fortigates on a single GUI."
"The log analysis and reporting are both quite good."
"With this tool it is interesting to show the info to the client and explain where the traffic is."
"We've had great feedback from our customers about SevOne support. They're willing to set up a remote session upon request. You have to go through three tiers of support with most vendors, and they ask a lot of screening questions before they will do a remote session. You need to spend a lot of time before an engineer will host a remote session to look at your problematic system."
"The network data collection has been very flexible for us. It's been thorough in areas that were lacking. They have a team that I've worked with to add other pieces to it. So if it's missing something out of the box, they work with me to add it. I was able to collect that data. It's not perfect, but it's pretty thorough."
"The most valuable feature is the NMS because that's the core of the system. Without the NMS, the other tools aren't that usable."
"The out of the box reports and workflows are pretty good and they meet our requirements well."
"The automation feature is good because if your CMDB is OK and it is already in sync, then the automation part is good to go."
"SevOne’s data collection functionality is very good. From a collection point of view, we pull SNMP data, which is simple. It is easy to manipulate the pull in the estate. It is really simple compared to some of the other products that we have used. However, for deferred data, i.e., things that we import or don't pull directly, we tend to have a preplanned integration. So, its Universal Collector is really useful."
"Its ability to monitor practically any type of network device via SNMP is most valuable. This is the main functionality that we're using. If a network device exposes a metric, such as interface utilization, SevOne will monitor it for us."
"It should have customized reports as well. While it currently has them, you need to write a script which is not straightforward."
"It's possible that they could add some advanced analytics and some proactive controls for logging analytics. That will help a lot."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer could improve the user interface, and the experience of users receiving the reports and tracking could be better."
"One of the main disadvantages is not having a direct link to the security policy when you see something in the log."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer could improve by having better integration with other vendors."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer cannot receive any queries. They should add this feature in the future to help manage solutions."
"The FortiAnalyzer is not scalable."
"Their in-house technical support is extremely slow to respond. We have our own in-house team to manage issues so clients don't have to wait over two weeks for a response to issues."
"NMS has several areas for improvement. It should be more user-friendly inside of NMS for some of the functionality in there. It's been getting better the last version or two, but the there have been bugs in there whenever I've gone to new versions."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
"Their virtualization solution is not compatible with our Kubernetes environment, which is one of the reasons we are ending our relationship with them."
"We previously have had discussions on some reporting enhancements. So, we raised a feature request, which was delivered from SevOne."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"High-frequency polling is data-intensive because you're pulling more. If SevOne could figure out a way to manage the impact of high-frequency polling on the system, that would be very popular."
"The one area with room for improvement is probably administration. They added data insights to make a better user experience, but I'd like to see some improvements in the way the system's administered."
"SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."
