Fortinet FortiSIEM vs Statseeker comparison

"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."

"It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security."

"There are things like dashboards and reports (pre-configured and custom) that let me know that things are operating the way they should be, and when they are not."

"Our customer did not have security monitoring in the first place. With this solution, it provided security posture management and visibility about the security landscape and threats that they had."

"The solution’s IP database is awesome."

"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."

"There could be improvements like introducing some solutions directly into FortiSIEM to avoid the need for separately purchasing additional tools like FortiStore."

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

"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."

"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."

"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."

"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."

"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."

"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."

"With Statseeker I'd like to see some flow, i.e. what's tuning-up the network. The trend I like is managing the traffic load by going to the cloud."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."

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

"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."

"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."

"The price is competitive."

"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."

"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."

"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."

"We now feel the pricing is a good value. Previously we had a just a normal license but now we've got an Enterprise license. Since the Enterprise, it's been a lot better value. We did think it was pretty expensive before, but with the Enterprise license it's almost less than half that price. If you have a number of accounts within the organization that use Statseeker, I would suggest get the Enterprise license."

"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."

"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."

"Statseeker is pretty cheap."

"One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."

"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
