We can make more informed decisions on whether an action is malicious

The ease of use and dashboards are improving. We came in at a time when they were developing a new dashboard screen. Therefore, we have had some confusing times between the old and new dashboards. Knowing how the new one works, I have seen vast improvements with it. While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper. They are improving on this because I have seen some improvements in the user interface that helps with this. Part of it was moving two different screens into one, merging the two together. It is very good, but it is very technically detailed and would be harder for an entry-level person to decipher. However, improvements are being made. It leverages indicators of behavior to help us remediate faster against attacks. Sometimes, I wish there was more detail on why they consider it malicious.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Immediately we can pick up the computers in the network if any malicious operation that is triggered."

"The initial setup is not overly complicated."

"The initial setup process is straightforward."

"They do a very good job of providing multi-stage visualizations of malicious operations that immediately show all attack details across all devices and users. Since it is MalOp-centric model, you can see if there has been a similar operation across multiple machines. If it is the same thing appearing on multiple machines, you see all the machines and users affected in one screen."

"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform."

"What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it."

"The interface is user-friendly."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"The seamless integration with FortiGate is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"It's easy to manage. There's a web interface and a command line, depending on what the user is comfortable with. There's a large knowledge base available, and the support is timely."

"The event correlation is pretty robust. The GUI is pretty good."

"It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security."

"We like the integration of all of these Fortinet platforms together. Everything is integrated well, and we are able to sell that as a service to our customers."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM has its own validated and authentic IP database that marks malicious IP attacks against the firewall and generates an alert for the same."

"Technical support is helpful."

"The most valuable feature is auto-discovery. When you send logs from any device to port 514, it helps register those devices automatically."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

Cons

"There can be problems with the EDI."

"I would like to see improvements on the operational side, specifically in grouping."

"Compared to our previous endpoint, we have a lot more false positives and a lot more duplication of alerts. So we're chasing more alerts."

"Its Microsoft PowerShell protections still need some compatibility improvements. We have run across just a few. It is compatible with 90% of what we have in our network, but there is that 10% that we are still struggling with as far as compatibility with the type of PowerShell scripts needed to run our day-to-day business."

"The deployment on individual endpoints is more geared toward larger organizations. It might prove to be a bit too complicated for a smaller organization. You need to know what you're doing when you're deploying the sensor."

"It should be more stable, and the sensor needs improvement in terms of connectivity."

"They need to improve their technical support services."

"Cybereason does not have sandbox functionality."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"FortiSIEM needs to expand its integration with third-party vendors. I don't know if Forcepoint has been added, but there were limited resources for integrating Forcepoint solutions when we implemented FortiSIEM. It integrates well with other Fortinet products and solutions from established cybersecurity companies like Palo Alto but doesn't integrate with some of the newer vendors."

"We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files."

"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases."

"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."

"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."

"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."

"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."

"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."

"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."

"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."

"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."

"The pricing is manageable."

"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."

"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."

"This is probably more on the lower cost end of the spectrum compared to competing products. Fortinet's license model is based on events per second, which makes sense, but that's not typical. It makes it very hard to calculate what your costs are going to be as you scale the platform because some log sources, such as firewall logs, are very noisy, and there are lots and lots of events per second, but some of them are not. So, it becomes a bit of a science experiment trying to guess what your costs are going to be as you scale the solution. This is where other competing products perhaps have a more straightforward license model."

"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."

"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."

"Please be cheaper and more simplified."

"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."
