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.
There is a return on investment when purchasing SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, as in the long run, there is a return on investments.
Local tech support is available, however, for more critical or technical issues, we depend on the OEM directly, especially when it comes to on-prem solutions.
There is a knowledgeable, though small, team of support engineers around the world.
They take some time to respond because they need logs and investigations, which delays the response time.
They often say that only premium subscribers receive support within one or two hours.
I would rate support eight out of ten.
I received efficient responses to many questions.
At any point in time, when network devices increase or there is a change in the infrastructure, we can add more workers and collectors to expand our infrastructure setup.
Fortinet FortiSIEM is highly scalable.
Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to scale.
SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is a scalable solution, and by adding licenses, I can use the same deployment and instance to onboard more elements and nodes.
The license is based on the count of the ports.
It stabilizes itself in an appropriate time, so its uptime is good.
These issues may cause unusual errors and user interface issues.
Some stability issues occur, but Fortinet's technical support team provides assistance.
The solution is quite stable.
Recently, they revised it to a subscription-based, all-inclusive license.
The built-in APIs in Fortinet FortiSIEM are somewhat lacking and could be improved for better integration with external ITSM products.
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management.
Ideally, NetFlow should have a robust alerting mechanism.
It should be like a Meraki cloud, where if you are familiar with Meraki devices, you can locate any device directly on the world map.
Deployment needs improvement; the process is complicated, requiring attention to infrastructure settings and installation of components like the origin application server, platform, close storage, and policy agents.
Setting it up for oneself as an enterprise-licensed product can be quite expensive.
Windows agent licenses cost around 3,000 Rupees per device per year.
The revised model is subscription-based and more flexible.
provide a rating of nine out of ten
SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's model is quite costly compared to other brands.
It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security.
I find the real-time monitoring and correlation capabilities effective for security alerts.
It provides proactive monitoring, rather than waiting for applications to go down due to heavy bandwidth or latency.
This tool provides insights into top utilization applications or it identifies which circuit or application is consuming the most on the complete one-gig circuit traffic path.
The bandwidth indicates the utilization of the devices; if any issue occurs, it triggers an alert for me.
