DNIF HYPERCLOUD vs Fortinet FortiSIEM comparison

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

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

"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."

"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 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."

"Has a great search capability."

"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."

"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."

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

"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."

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."

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

"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."

"I like the various options, including the option for CMDB and the easier access to create rules, playbooks, or use cases. It's also easier to use for creating dashboards and reports."

"We like the integration of all of these Fortinet platforms together. Everything is integrated well, and we are able to sell that as a service to our customers."

"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."

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

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

"The EBA could be improved."

"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."

"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."

"Does not have load-sharing or high-availability, and these are important things to implement. I can do the same things in another way, but not naturally having these features makes it complicated."

"The challenge I face with Fortinet FortiSIEM is the lack of support."

"The log collection and configuration management are not great."

"There could be more AI features included in the product."

"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."

"The pricing is based on the log size."

"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."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

"This is probably more on the lower cost end of the spectrum compared to competing products. Fortinet's license model is based on events per second, which makes sense, but that's not typical. It makes it very hard to calculate what your costs are going to be as you scale the platform because some log sources, such as firewall logs, are very noisy, and there are lots and lots of events per second, but some of them are not. So, it becomes a bit of a science experiment trying to guess what your costs are going to be as you scale the solution. This is where other competing products perhaps have a more straightforward license model."

"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."

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

"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."

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