DNIF HYPERCLOUD vs Fortinet FortiSIEM comparison

"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."

"The beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."

"The User Behavior Analytics is a built-in threat-hunting feature. It detects and reports on any kind of malware or ransomware that enters the network."

"The response time on queries is super-fast."

"Has a great search capability."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."

"I like the MITRE table, a feature I saw for the first time in the same solution. There was one MITRE tactic table, which can be used to identify threats if you have all kinds of rules enabled or if you have rules for all the tactics in the MITRE table. There are 14 tables in MITRE, and those 14 tables consist of multiple columns, tactics, and techniques. It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table. On that basis, you can create new rules and identify existing ones. At any point, if an alert is triggered, it will try to match it to any of those MITRE tactics. I liked that creating a workbook on MITRE business was straightforward. I also like that you can search using SQL or DQL."

"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance. It also works on a virtual machine. We haven't found any issues with it so far. It's been reliable."

"The primary valuable feature is that it has replaced a whole lot of other products with one platform."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is highly scalable. I would rate its scalability nine out of ten."

"FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent."

"It's easy to manage. There's a web interface and a command line, depending on what the user is comfortable with. There's a large knowledge base available, and the support is timely."

"The tool's most valuable feature stems from the fact that I can see a complete analysis, like all the incidents that have happened, and it detects everything in real-time."

"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."

"FortiSIEM's best features are the dashboards and customization."

"One of the most valuable features is that we can combine SOC and NOC operations in the same tool. We can provide NOC and SOC services in the same tool for two separate teams. There are plenty of third-party solutions that integrate with FortiSIEM. All these solutions already have a ready integration, and we have the possibility to create a custom connector for these solutions. Its reports are also very good."

"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."

"I think DNIF HYPERCLOUD can implement the ability to export more than 100,000. At the moment, we can't go beyond that. So many times, if you're checking for the firewall logs and working on something related to authentication or network-related traffic, while that log count is low, the account goes beyond that. You can't restrict the logs or the amount of data you can export. It's very important for my situation. It would be better if they could increase the capacity of exports. Although there are many more types of searching in DNIF HYPERCLOUD, people still struggle to query out what they want because not everyone is good at SQL or DQL. The easiest way to query out in DNIF is using the GUI-based interface. But in the GUI interface, you can use operator calls. It gets tricky when you want to search for a specific type of event. You don't know where it will be passed and whether it will be consistent. In the initial phase, it's tough for us to use DNIF. You cannot pass every event in a stable DNIF. When we used that particular tool, we used to get those logs, but sometimes many things are not getting passed. So, we used to export the sheet or export the data into Excel and weigh the required details. In the next release, I would like them to improve the export of the columns and make the application more user-friendly. I would also like a threat-hunting feature in the next release."

"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."

"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."

"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."

"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."

"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."

"The EBA could be improved."

"Their product support, in general, is not that great. The product support is in the same ecosystem. Their support is improving but it's not that great.vvv"

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

"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."

"We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files."

"Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time."

"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."

"The dashboard needs to improve."

"It would be good if the solution offered even more configuration options, especially in relation to the VPN so that it continues to be a very flexible option."

"The pricing is based on the log size."

"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."

"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."

"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."

"Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."

"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product. The free version license of the product is available for two months."

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

"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."

"The price is competitive."

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