NishantKandpal - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Security Manager at Varun Beverages Ltd
Proactive monitoring has strengthened our credential leak detection and brand protection
CloudSEK XVigil is a strong platform, but it can be improved in several areas. Alerts may sometimes include low-risk mentions, duplicate findings, and non-actionable leaks. Therefore, it can improve through better alert prioritization, smarter risk scoring, and stronger AI-based filtering. The second area for improvement is deeper integration with asset inventory and auto-tagging of critical assets. If we integrate this with our SOC platform, the team needs to understand technical alerts better. They could focus more on business-focused reporting and executive-friendly dashboards. Overall, the platform is strong in external threat visibility, but improving automation, contextual intelligence, and alert precision can make SOC operations even more efficient.
Muhammad Hassaan Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Engineer at Commtel
Has improved threat visibility and simplified operations but needs better integration with other platforms
The only feature I would recommend for Fortinet FortiRecon is smoother integration with third-party SIEM and SOAR platforms. For instance, we use IBM QRadar and it would be ideal if FortiRecon’s threat intelligence findings could be pushed directly into QRadar rather than requiring manual exports or custom API setups Cross-platform integration should be made easier. While FortiRecon provides useful threat intelligence, getting this data into other SIEMs like IBM QRadar or open-source platforms like Wazuh often requires custom API work or manual steps. Fortinet tends to keep things within its own ecosystem, which makes third-party integration more challenging. On the positive side, FortiRecon has one of the easiest GUIs compared to other competitors, making it straightforward to navigate findings and alerts.

Pros

"CloudSEK XVigil has positively impacted our organization by being easy to use for our small tier organization."
"CloudSEK XVigil's threat intelligence is advanced compared to other solutions I have seen or used, and no other tool provides the solutions CloudSEK XVigil does, making it a great product."
"CloudSEK XVigil is very advanced with automated features and AI capabilities."
"CloudSEK XVigil helps organizations detect cyber threats outside their network before the attackers exploit them internally."
"In the past three years, we have taken down more than 1000 pages, monitored more than 700 credential leaks, and identified at least around 300 code leaks using CloudSEK XVigil."
"CloudSEK XVigil positively impacted my organization, allowing us to initiate a lot of takedowns for applications with our brand and logo that were wrongly listed on third-party websites, and thankfully, those were removed."
"CloudSEK XVigil has positively impacted my organization by automating processes that were previously manual, which we struggled with due to our large network, and since integrating CloudSEK XVigil, it has dramatically changed our workflow and reduced the manpower needed."
"Fortinet FortiRecon has helped us reduce our exposed attack surface, as we identified and took down or secured approximately 15 assets."
"Brand protection is very useful for identifying password leakage, duplicate applications, proxy applications in the name of our company, and protecting forged websites, phishing URLs, and duplicate URLs, among many more."
"The access to information and the overall integration of many tools in one platform make Fortinet FortiRecon a comprehensive tool for overall cybersecurity improvements in our IT equipment."
 

Cons

"CloudSEK XVigil is a strong platform, but it can be improved in several areas."
"I feel that some improvements in alerts and notifications can be really useful."
"CloudSEK XVigil can be improved by focusing more on vulnerabilities like open redirection, broken access control, and OWASP Top 10, which need to be enhanced and made more accurate."
"I give it nine out of ten because sometimes I need to coordinate with the backend team for the takedown process."
"I think CloudSEK XVigil could improve its B-Vigil suite, particularly regarding attack surface monitoring application headers as compared to Bitsight, which provides a good amount of data that could be included in CloudSEK XVigil."
"The dashboard is good, but I want to make it more mature with additional features so that we can view all the services we use and all critical notifications in a unified platform."
"Fortinet tends to keep things within its own ecosystem, which makes third-party integration more challenging."
"Engaging the support team with Fortinet FortiRecon takes more time than expected."
