Fortinet FortiSIEM vs Statseeker comparison

"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."

"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."

"The most fascinating aspect of FortiSIEM is its integration with the MITRE ATT&CK framework."

"Technical support is helpful."

"FortiSIEM provides a single PIN to monitor SOC and NOC. It's a nice tool for integration and monitoring. It provides multiple categories for monitoring based on security designations like low, medium, and high."

"We have many application systems, and I can set up Fortinet FortiSIEM for users to monitor their systems."

"FortiSIEM's log correlation is good."

"The CMDB and the device discovery features are most valuable."

"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."

"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."

"The monitoring provided by this solution helps us to track down and solve issues."

"I like the fact that I can aggregate multiple interfaces into a single graph. It allows me to quickly the summary of traffic for multiple devices which is helpful."

"It also allows us to predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading."

"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."

"The most important feature is just the fact that it doesn't aggregate the information up, and I can look at detailed information going back quite a long time."

"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."

"Patching is not great - we're not getting the support we'd expect."

"Network detection and response is a separate product."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market."

"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."

"With FortiSIEM, the issue has to do with the ways we can generate a report. It's not as flexible compared to that with other SIEM tools, like Splunk."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management. Currently, to manage repetitive incidents or for remediation, I need to use a separate software called FortiSOAR."

"The interface needs some improvements because it's a bit cumbersome when you're trying to view items. It takes some time to get used to. Additionally, sometimes the scrolling does not work."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having better integration and extensions. This would benefit by allowing us to give more rules."

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

"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."

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

"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."

"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 a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."

"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."

"I would like to have soft alarming. If an inner-base all of a sudden triggers a threshold, we have to rely on a lot of other tools and then we go into Statseeker to verify it. If Statseeker would confirm it preemptively and trigger it into our network panel, that would be nice."

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

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

"They have a yearly subscription."

"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."

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

"The price is competitive."

"Please be cheaper and more simplified."

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

"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."

"It's probably $5K a year for the license."

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

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

"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."

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

"Up until we actually talked to Statseeker, and Statseeker came and gave us an enterprise licensing model for multiple accounts, I would have said the pricing was not good value. The fact they've come to the party now and given us a very good discount, I would say it's probably about right, the pricing they're giving us now. But the retail pricing, if I went out and, as a separate company, and asked for pricing for one account, I probably would say their retail pricing is not competitive. The fact that they've given us a discount now because we have multiple servers across multiple accounts, I would say that pricing is about right, but not their retail pricing. It's too expensive."

"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."
