Automation streamlines workflow and integrates seamlessly with various applications
I serve as both a reseller and customer of Fortinet FortiSOAR. The solution is suitable for all types of businesses from small to enterprise. The integration capability of Fortinet FortiSOAR deserves a rating of 10. It can be integrated with any system, and we have the capability for custom connectors. Even if Fortinet FortiSOAR doesn't have a specific connector, you can easily create a custom connector using AI. Simply provide your requirements or solution needs, and Fortinet FortiSOAR will create the connector, enabling integration with any application. My final rating for Fortinet FortiSOAR would be 10 out of 10, where one is bad and ten is good.

"We are protecting all our workstations."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"The good news is that FortiSOAR is not hard to maintain. If you prepared well and deployed strong initially, then maintenance will take half an hour every other week, not more than that. A single person can do it."
"The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors."
"The solution's most valuable feature is playbook creation, which allows us to integrate all data ingestion into the same platform."

Cons

"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
"Technical support could be improved."

"If you compare Fortinet FortiSOAR's price with the prices of the market leader, Palo Alto, then it can be considered a cheaper product."

Most of the SME market is covered by FortiGate firewalls. It becomes an easy way for consultants, such as us, or even system integrators, to open the door with the Fortinet product lines."
