FortiSIEM vs. LogPoint

If budget is an issue then Fortisiem fits well, as it's more than a typical SIEM solution. It can integrate with environmental monitoring systems, UPS HVAC etc. It can be used as the CMDB solution etc. If fine-tuned and looked after it can actually bring a lot of value for less.

LogPoint is incredibly useful for pulling information from various log sources and combining them together to offer insights into suspicious or potentially malicious behaviour. It is not intuitive and can take some time to get used to. Once you're up and running though, it's easy to onboard new log sources. Search queries can again be tough to get used to, but LogPoint support is really helpful and can offer assistance with writing more complex searches.

• Log aggregation and analytics
• CMDB
• Device inventory and remote management .
• It can be used by Managed Security Providers who have multiple customers as it offers multi organization support .

Incentivized

• Technical support team is fast and competent
• License management and cost
• Log parsing
• New logs can be provided to the support team for parser creation
• High Availability architecture does not cost more

• Non-intuitive/unattractive user interface
• Too many features that will usually remain unused
• Very crowded (too many icons) portal
• The reporting feature is confusing, e.g. you have to click on the "refresh" button to get the result of your inquiry. The report generation process can be much easier, as the user interaction is not pleasant.

Incentivized

• Stability (weird issues)
• Transparency (hard to investigate issues)
• Search template should be improved

LogPoint has quite a steep learning curve. The UI is not intuitive, with some bits of functionality being hidden in places you might not think to look. The search syntax is also quite difficult to master. However, once you overcome these obstacles, LogPoint is actually very easy to use.

Support team is very fast to answer and very kind.
