Simple implementation, good performance, but scalability lacking

Facilitates incident backtracking and identifying the cause of incidents but insufficient intelligence-driven analysis to suppress unnecessary alerts
There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk. Another area that needs improvement is the integration of various technologies. Currently, they don't cover most of the major technology domains, leaving out significant coverage. Moreover, there are many additional features I would like to see. One feature would be an automated workflow for report downloading and sending it to relevant individuals. Additionally, there should be event triggers to identify and handle duplicated events. It would be helpful to have AI-driven technology to differentiate between real and false alerts, as we receive numerous false positives. Not every event is critical, so an intelligent analysis, such as behavior-driven or logic-based, should be incorporated to suppress unnecessary alerts. So, I want to decrease false positive instances. I would like to see a significant decrease in false positives based on intelligent analysis. The analysis could be behavior-driven or based on any logical approach, but it should be incorporated into the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."
"The most valuable features for us are the built-in reports and alerts, along with the extreme flexibility in reporting and rule generation."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."
"I like the various options, including the option for CMDB and the easier access to create rules, playbooks, or use cases. It's also easier to use for creating dashboards and reports."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats."
"It's a very nice solution to work with."
"The event correlation is pretty robust. The GUI is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
 

Cons

"The UI could improve in Fortinet FortiSIEM. Humans view the UI frequently for data and if it was more visually pleasing it would be beneficial."
"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."
"We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files."
"Not very good on non-API features, lacks that functionality."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"The dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much."
"We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction."
"They could work on their documentation. If there's anything about the solution that needs improvement, it's that. For example, documentation already is on a very high level but specifically on the CLI there are tons of features which can be fine-tuned and thousands of commands are very difficult to document. If they could make this easier, it would improve the overall solution."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."
"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"The price is competitive."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
