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.

I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is used as an alerting platform."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the user and entity behave as analytics(UEBA). This feature mixes your data and provides useful information based on the behavior of the targeted."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."
"The best features are the dashboard and the integration between the Fortinet products, and if you use them together with FortiSOAR and FortiAnalyzer, it's better than Splunk."
"FortiSIEM provides a single PIN to monitor SOC and NOC. It's a nice tool for integration and monitoring. It provides multiple categories for monitoring based on security designations like low, medium, and high."
"Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us."
"FortiSIEM's log correlation is good."
"It's a very nice solution to work with."
"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
 

Cons

"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."
"Not very good on non-API features, lacks that functionality."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"An improvement would be if FortiSIEM's licensing was based on the number of nodes rather than the EPS."
"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
"The process of installing Fortinet FortiSIEM and the customization of the alerts take too long."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."
"The initial setup is not simple. We are having some issues with the agent installation, it is requiring several reboots."
"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is probably more on the lower cost end of the spectrum compared to competing products. Fortinet's license model is based on events per second, which makes sense, but that's not typical. It makes it very hard to calculate what your costs are going to be as you scale the platform because some log sources, such as firewall logs, are very noisy, and there are lots and lots of events per second, but some of them are not. So, it becomes a bit of a science experiment trying to guess what your costs are going to be as you scale the solution. This is where other competing products perhaps have a more straightforward license model."
"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."
"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
"The price is competitive."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."
"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
"Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
