    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.

    Tenable
    [Tenable.sc (formerly SecurityCenter)] does very well for internal scanning for vulnerabilities, however it needs to be combined with Tenable.io in order to do cloud scanning.

    Cons
    Fortinet
    • 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.

    Tenable
    We decided to go with Tenable due to its robust reporting capabilities and competitive pricing vs its competitors. While all tools are very similar in regards to scanning capabilities we prefer Tenable SC's user interface. We also like the option to have both on-prem and cloud with theirs. Tenable io product as well.

    Return on Investment
    Fortinet
    • Other SIEM solutions were cost prohibitive at the time of purchase (2016).
    • Just like any other SIEM, it helped draw a better picture of our current security posture.
