Great for identifying application interdependencies with helpful support but needs better visualizations
We're just trying to identify the application interdependencies, which normally reside on different servers, including web servers, database servers, enterprise service bus, et cetera, up to your presentation layer before we start moving stuff around. Normally, the reason why we use these tools is to understand what assets we have, where they're deployed, and how they enter and operate before we decide to go move something from point A to point B. The solution is going to allow me to establish a wave or migration plan where you have different waves of migration and then you actually have move groups to try and get your application moved from A to B seamlessly. A to B could be on-premise to on-premise. It could be on-premise to cloud. Et cetera. The solution can tell me what components can I deploy, for example, into a cloud space, without having to refactor my applications since that can be quite time-consuming and costly.

Simple implementation, good performance, but scalability lacking
I am using Fortinet FortiSIEM to correlate events in our enterprise Fortinet FortiSIEM has helped our organization by providing us with business monitoring. The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events. Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"Wire data analytics."
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"It's a very nice solution to work with."
"Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses."
"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"The solution’s IP database is awesome."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM's most valuable feature is the simplicity in handling multi-tenancy and the ability to switch between different clients at the same time. That was handled flawlessly."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."
"Technical support is helpful."
 

Cons

"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
"Their product support, in general, is not that great. The product support is in the same ecosystem. Their support is improving but it's not that great.vvv"
"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."
"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."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair considering the value provided."
"The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."
"The pricing is higher than other solutions, but with such good features, I think it's worth it."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"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."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
"Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."
"They have a yearly subscription."
"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."
"The price is competitive."
