It's cheaper than other solutions with the same features but lacks integration with many third-party vendors

A highly scalable solution that is easy to manage and super easy to set up

"The best thing about Snare is its format and consistency."

"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"
"Network detection and response is a separate product."

"They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Users will initially find it difficult to identify the event types and installation in Snare."
