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.

Human-guided threat monitoring has delivered rapid, confident incident response and strong compliance
I believe Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved by increasing integrations with non-Microsoft solutions as this would broaden its appeal. A broader out-of-the-box solution for diverse environments including IoT, Mac OS, and Linux servers would be valuable. I would rate Huntress Managed SIEM an eight because a couple of things could be changed, such as having more integrations with non-Microsoft systems, improved customization on the dashboard, and enhanced reporting in the threat intelligence updates. Being unable to click on new niche variants of threats is another point I would mention, but overall an eight out of ten is a good score because I think it is a very well-priced solution for its capabilities and all the positives I have outlined. The eight rating is primarily influenced by those integration and customization points I mentioned, which are the main requests from customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Analytics is the most valuable feature, and the business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."
"FortiSIEM and FortiSOAR, their overall solutions that are there for threat mitigation, visibility, control, et cetera, is well integrated."
"FortiSIEM helped us discover all the threats at the time that were attacking the IT services of the company. We now have multiple-level authentication."
"It detects new technologies, vulnerabilities, and emerging threats on the internet."
"This is a very stable product - we have never had a crash with it."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."
"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."
"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."
"Huntress Managed SIEM is designed to make powerful threat detection, response, and compliance support accessible without the complexities and costs of traditional SIEMs."
"If you want to secure your infrastructure and save a lot of time for your organization, you can use Huntress Managed SIEM."
"The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
"Huntress Managed SIEM's response time is far superior to any other vendor we have tested in terms of MDR."
"During the year I have been using it, I have seen improvements such as no alert fatigue, which is beneficial, and obviously the automated threat detection."
"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
 

Cons

"With FortiSIEM, the issue has to do with the ways we can generate a report. It's not as flexible compared to that with other SIEM tools, like Splunk."
"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."
"There are some connectivity issues with FortiAnalyzer and FortiGate."
"The log collection and configuration management are not great."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."
"The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having better integration and extensions. This would benefit by allowing us to give more rules."
"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. I would like Huntress Managed 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."
"In my opinion, there is room for improvement in Huntress Managed SIEM, particularly in integration with third-party solutions."
"The scalability for SMEs and MSPs is noteworthy for a few hundred endpoints, but it struggles with scalability when dealing with high logs, multi-site, multi-tenant setups, and large volumes of endpoints, which poses a challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight out of ten. Compared with Splunk or Oracle, Fortinet is cheap."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
"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."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
"They have a yearly subscription."
"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."
