We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSIEM and Google Chronicle Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Microsoft Sentinel comes preloaded with templates for teaching and analytics rules."
"The most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high."
"Azure Application Gateway makes things a lot easier. You can create dashboards, alert rules, hunting and custom queries, and functions with it."
"I like the unified security console. You can close incidents using Sentinel in all other Microsoft Security portals, when it comes to incident response."
"The scalability is great. You can put unlimited logs in, as long as you can pay for it. There are commitment tiers, up to six terabytes per day, which is nowhere close to what any one of our customers is running."
"There are some very powerful features to Sentinel, such as the integration of various connectors. We have a lot of departments that use both IaaS and SaaS services, including M365 as well as Azure services. The ability to leverage connectors into these environments allows for large-scale data injection."
"Having your logs put all in one place with machine learning working on those logs is a good feature. I don't need to start thinking, "Where are my logs?" My logs are in a centralized repository, like Log Analytics, which is why you can't use Sentinel without Log Analytics. Having all those logs in one place is an advantage."
"What is most useful, is that it has a good connection to the Microsoft ecosystem, and I think that's the key part."
"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 seamless integration with FortiGate is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."
"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 stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."
"FortiSIEM helped us discover all the threats at the time that were attacking the IT services of the company. We now have multiple-level authentication."
"The solution’s IP database is awesome."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"The support team is responsive."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"The only thing is sometimes you can have a false positive."
"We are invoiced according to the amount of data generated within each log."
"When it comes to ingesting Azure native log sources, some of the log sources are specific to the subscription, and it is not always very clear."
"There is room for improvement in entity behavior and the integration site."
"I would like Sentinel to have more out-of-the-box analytics rules. There are already more than 400 rules, but they could add more industry-specific ones. For example, you could have sets of out-of-the-box rules for banking, financial sector, insurance, automotive, etc., so it's easier for people to use it out of the box. Structuring the rules according to industry might help us."
"We'd like to see more connectors."
"Given that I am in the small business space, I wish they would make it easier to operate Sentinel without being a Sentinel expert. Examples of things that could be easier are creating alerts and automations from scratch and designing workbooks."
"One key area that can be improved is by building a strong integration with our XDR platform."
"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."
"The log collection and configuration management are not great."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
"When compared with some competitors, in terms of performance, the CPU and RAM requirements and the capability of coordination with development all need some improvement."
"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."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The tool needs to improve tasking packages. Its GUI needs to be improved. The product needs to include time-based filtration. We can only see the alert detection timeline now."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
