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.
The platform has resulted in time saved and reduces mean time to response, making it a great platform.
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.
The customer support for Fortinet FortiSIEM is excellent.
It is so straightforward that I have never had to use the support.
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's scalability is excellent, and it is also easy to configure, maintain, and operate.
Zabbix is very scalable and lightweight.
Zabbix has high scalability.
I would rate its scalability ten out of ten.
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.
Zabbix is very scalable and lightweight.
Zabbix is quite stable, and we haven't had any problems with Zabbix itself.
I think the stability of Zabbix is around five to six on a scale of ten, where ten is the best and one is the worst.
Recently, they revised it to a subscription-based, all-inclusive license.
The built-in APIs in Fortinet FortiSIEM are somewhat lacking and could be improved for better integration with external ITSM products.
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management.
The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the best.
The potential and customization is a little difficult because you have to learn scripts.
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.
Zabbix is providing everything free of cost.
It is literally free.
It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security.
I find the real-time monitoring and correlation capabilities effective for security alerts.
Reliability and scalability have helped me in my work, especially because the license for Fortinet FortiSIEM is excellent from a cost perspective, and we can add more collectors as we expand.
If disk usage surpasses a threshold, say 70%, I receive alerts and can take proactive action.
Zabbix has a lot of features, including monitoring, status updates, and collecting information telemetry from storages and servers as well.
Zabbix is Linux-based open-source software, and the main use case is to reduce costs.
