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.
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.
It's difficult to find necessary documentation, open tickets, and get support.
We are paying too much for technical support from VMware.
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.
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.
We are managing that one but usually we have an API connector between our firewall vendor and our VMware NSX.
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management.
Enhancing the completeness of its APIs could aid in better external integrations.
Recently, they revised it to a subscription-based, all-inclusive license.
Broadcom should improve by going back to what was working before, offering the suite of tools that clients actually use, and allowing clients to decide the best options for them.
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.
Broadcom is known for increasing product prices, making them expensive compared to what people used to pay.
I find the real-time monitoring and correlation capabilities effective for security alerts.
It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security.
One of the biggest problems with VMware NSX is logging, and vRealize Network Insight helps by providing comprehensive logs.
