Development from open sources is very valuable but a huge infrastructure is required
The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used. The search configuration is a bit different than other OEMs or SIEM solutions like ArcSight or QRadar that are easy to search because they operate similarly. The logic is there and the solution supplies a pretty good explanation. Basically, DNIF spelled out is the opposite of FIND. You have to find commands whenever you want to search something. For example, a highway gets you to your destination but there is an alternate way people don't yet know about. Gartner or Forrester haven't yet studied it. We were a bit nervous when we were trying to get familiar with the solution. We wondered if we could realize ROI because the commands and ways of pulling data were different to us. We raised a case with the support team and their professionals provided the needed support. The command line is user friendly once you understand it. If you need immediate use, then you might want to get assistance from someone who is well-versed in methods for using key patterns to find things. Lengthier files for threat hunting or analysis are needed. The correlation happens, but exporting a large number of files to abstract them is not possible. For example, I want to present raw data to management so I should be able to customize a date range in my query and download the files.

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

"The response time on queries is super-fast."
"The User Behavior Analytics is a built-in threat-hunting feature. It detects and reports on any kind of malware or ransomware that enters the network."
"DNIF is much faster, much more responsive, and far superior when compared to competitive tools."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."
"If you're an enterprise company and want to scale your productivity for log monitoring purposes, I found DNIF a better option than Splunk which has more complex software."
"The benefit of DNIF was that the solution was able to detect any anomalies and identify and prevent any possible security threats or attacks."
"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."
"FortiSIEM gives us a lot of valuable events and details by using a unified event-based framework to analyze all data including logs, performance monitoring data and provides a broad range of metrics."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM's most valuable feature is the simplicity in handling multi-tenancy and the ability to switch between different clients at the same time. That was handled flawlessly."
"We only evaluated this solution and loved the capabilities that it offers."
"There are things like dashboards and reports (pre-configured and custom) that let me know that things are operating the way they should be, and when they are not."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM has helped our organization by providing us with business monitoring."
"In large-sized medium-sized and a small-sized organizations, it improves the ability to quickly drill down into events that occur, perform analysis, and find root cause."
"The solution is easy to use and user-friendly."
"One of the most valuable features is that we can combine SOC and NOC operations in the same tool. We can provide NOC and SOC services in the same tool for two separate teams. There are plenty of third-party solutions that integrate with FortiSIEM. All these solutions already have a ready integration, and we have the possibility to create a custom connector for these solutions. Its reports are also very good."
 

Cons

"DNIF HYPERCLOUD is not a stable product compared to other tools like IBM QRadar."
"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."
"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."
"We have some issues with machine learning plug-ins and I believe they're working on a solution for that."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."
"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."
"I used version 8 which was not at all stable. The services and processor keep going down, we had to manually keep them up increasing storage space because services are down, and logs not processed."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops."
"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
"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."
"There are some connectivity issues with FortiAnalyzer and FortiGate."
"The stability of the product is fairly good. It's likely 70-80% there in terms of stability."
"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"
"An improvement would be if FortiSIEM's licensing was based on the number of nodes rather than the EPS."
"The tool's technical team's response time is too high, and they are not available even when they know that there are many pending issues."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."
"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"The pricing is based on the log size."
"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"The price is competitive."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"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."
"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
