Shows question being asked, breaks it down and it'll just show you who's not answering
I wouldn't want the interface to go towards the web because they did have a version that was inside of the TruView product. It was more web-based and, to me, the web-based applications lose the robustness of the intimacy of a true character interface. I liked that they were on that path and I hope that they stay on that path because it just looks like it's a better product. I would like to see a multi-user version where you can have a launch platform and, potentially, instead of buying six licenses you buy 12 seats or something like that. From a centralized platform, you could have multiple users using that particular product in a series of different ways. That's what I'd like to see, rather than having everybody running a standalone one on their own workstation.

Comprehensive monitoring boosts security, yet incident management features need expansion
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management. Currently, to manage repetitive incidents or for remediation, I need to use a separate software called FortiSOAR. Additionally, the search functionality in FortiAI should be improved to provide more precise results, making it easier for me to understand what actions need to be taken.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What ClearSight will do is it actually maps out the conversation for you."
"AccelOps can handle a lot of data and it's just so important to true monitoring. Also, I can create a lot of rules to detect anything I like."
"The most valuable features of the solution is its integration with other technologies, especially its ability to collect logs from Cisco and Aruba devices along with Fortinet products."
"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."
"The event correlation is pretty robust. The GUI is pretty good."
"The best features Fortinet FortiSIEM offers are reliability and scalability, which have helped me in my work, especially because the license for Fortinet FortiSIEM is excellent from a cost perspective, and we can add more collectors as we expand."
"It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is highly scalable. I would rate its scalability nine out of ten."
"We have found the most important features in Fortinet FortiSIEM to be the correlation, file utility check, latest file, and hash changes. These features are important for us."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a multi-user version where you can have a launch platform and, potentially, instead of buying six licenses you buy 12 seats or something like that."
"Patching is not great - we're not getting the support we'd expect."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"It lacks a "wizard" that shows a particular user's activity or particular circumstance. I think the interface is intimidating because there's so much information there."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management. Currently, to manage repetitive incidents or for remediation, I need to use a separate software called FortiSOAR."
"The support of the product changed recently, and I don't think it's for the better. They should work to improve the support they offer to clients."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was pretty modest because you could get it in different ways. I think the six licenses, at that time, were about $1,000 each. But then again, I work for a school and educators tend to get discounts on things. So maybe it cost us about five or six hundred a copy."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."
"The price is competitive."
"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."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight out of ten. Compared with Splunk or Oracle, Fortinet is cheap."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."
