Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"FortiSIEM sends an email or SMS notifications to admins when there are significant incidents. It's a highly efficient way of responding to incidents."

"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."

"It's a very nice solution to work with."

"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."

"Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories."

"It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security."

"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."

"The advanced agents used to collect logs have been most valuable. We have also made use of the advanced intelligence this solution offers."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"The technical support is good."

"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."

"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."

Cons

"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."

"When compared with some competitors, in terms of performance, the CPU and RAM requirements and the capability of coordination with development all need some improvement."

"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."

"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."

"Customer support service could be better."

"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."

"Their product support, in general, is not that great. The product support is in the same ecosystem. Their support is improving but it's not that great.vvv"

"It's difficult to integrate unsupported devices with FortiSIEM compared to QRadar. It's easier to integrate and develop processes in QRadar. It's harder to develop a custom process in FortiSIEM."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."

"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."

"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

"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."

"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."

"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."

"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."

"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."

"The price is competitive."
