Muhammad Kamran Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief information security officer at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees
Improves email filtering and network protection but has limited accessible support and feature discovery
When going for support and asking for support for features, the support team asks to go for professional services, which are not covered in the support agreement. This is the reason exploration of the product features has been limited. To learn or explore something about the product, professional services need to be taken. When creating a ticket for support with configuration features, the support is reluctant to provide that support. This is the reason every feature of Fortinet FortiGuard cannot be explored. Currently Fortinet FortiGuard is working fine with no issues, but newsletters or communications about new features in the product are not being received from Fortinet. This limits knowledge of what new features are available in the product. There is no knowledge about the behavior analytics feature in Fortinet FortiGuard.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and efficiency."
"The best features in Fortinet FortiGuard that I appreciate are the nice interface, ease of use, and straightforward administration and setup."
"The main benefits Fortinet FortiGuard provides are that it secures the network from external threats, it provides security, and it has a very perfect graphical user interface that is very easy to use."
"The content filtering feature helps protect data by filtering potentially dangerous websites and brings significant benefit to the organization."
"The benefits I gain from using Fortinet FortiGuard include peace of mind; it has contributed to ensuring that we are always available and can meet our availability targets, which means that productivity is maintained and revenues will rake in as planned."
"We have found the site intelligence features to be the most valuable."
"The cost of the solution versus the cost of an incident that may have been prevented with it shows a very high ROI."
"Threat Intelligence's best feature is threat activation."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the sandbox."
"The most valuable Group-IB Threat Intelligence features are their detections, especially in terms of account and card information leakage. This data sets Group-IB apart from some of the competition."
"The totality of the recordings is quite important. The networks, the new threat actors, the new methods, tactics, techniques, and procedures."
"Threat Intelligence is very stable."
 

Cons

"When creating a ticket for support with configuration features, the support is reluctant to provide that support."
"The dashboard is an important and integral part of the product that could be improved."
"Currently, for our usage, the areas that have room for improvement are pricing and customization."
"If the tool can be cheaper or less expensive, it can be good for users."
"I think that automated response could be improved if they can add automated response features into Fortinet FortiGuard."
"As the landscape evolves, they could provide a little more detail or specificity to map it to the MITRE ATT&CK framework."
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence should improve integration for SIEM and SOAR solutions."
"Threat Intelligence's OT security could be improved."
"The web intelligence could be improved. It is not as good as the intelligence from other solutions."
"The lack of appliance-based or on-premise options for this solution is its biggest downfall. Clients request them often."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the tool's price as a six to seven."
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is alright. It's right on the mark."
"Threat Intelligence is costly, but it gives value for money."
