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.

Managed detection has reduced threat anxiety and provides fast responses across diverse clients
I would appreciate more features in the stack. I would like Huntress MDR and SIEM to integrate with EDRs like SentinelOne to combine that level of intelligence and information into their stack so that they can leverage whatever protections the client has and gather that intelligence to help with the MDR side. Regarding the SIEM, I would like to see more features added. I would appreciate the capability of setting our own alerting based on certain triggers within the logs so that we can compete and fill a void that their SIEM has compared to other SIEMs in the industry such as Perch Security for ConnectWise.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy."
"Fortinet support is very fast, and if I need to ask something, I'll get a response within a couple of hours."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."
"Analytics. It can provide log information from the device. With log information, I can see if there is a threat"
"It detects new technologies, vulnerabilities, and emerging threats on the internet."
"If you don't have a dedicated team to handle your logs, don't have a big budget, and want a solution to correlate and collect logs from many vendors, Fortinet FortiSIEM is an excellent choice."
"FortiSIEM provides a single PIN to monitor SOC and NOC, is a nice tool for integration and monitoring, and provides multiple categories for monitoring based on security designations like low, medium, and high."
"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
"Huntress Managed SIEM's response time is far superior to any other vendor we have tested in terms of MDR."
"The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
 

Cons

"Improvements include making it easier for users to create their normalizers. Fortinet FortiSIEM uses XML for normalizing and parsing, which can be tedious and time-consuming. A simpler way of using regex could be helpful."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market."
"For example, the design is bad because you have one supervisor on one machine and you handle everything off this machine supervisor."
"While AccelOps tries to be a “Jack of All”, it unfortunately is a master of none. This means that the product has poor support for some third-party security technologies, such as data loss prevention (DLP), application security testing, network forensics and deep packet inspection (DPI)."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"Patching is not great - we're not getting the support we'd expect."
"Customer support service could be better."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"I would appreciate more features in the stack.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."
"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."
"They have a yearly subscription."
"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM was reasonable compared to other solutions."
"The price is competitive."
