Conclusion

Benefits of ADAudit Plus over PowerBroker Management Suite
  • From the comparison, it can be concluded that both ManageEngine's EventLog Analyzer and Fortinet's FortiAnalyzer VM are useful solutions which monitor logs in the network and provide alerts to help detect threats. However, EventLog Analyzer takes this one step further and helps you mitigate possible threats by executing incident response workflows. It provides robust log collection and allows you to index the log fields critical to your organization. EventLog Analyzer also lets you move beyond default log fields and create new fields to extract more information from your logs.
  • Additionally, EventLog Analyzer allows you to generate new compliance reports, keeping you in good stead for upcoming compliance mandates. All of these, combined with a better pricing structure gives EventLog Analyzer a definitive edge
