A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.

Pros

"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."
"AccelOps can handle a lot of data and it's just so important to true monitoring. Also, I can create a lot of rules to detect anything I like."
"It's a very nice solution to work with."
"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."
"The CMDB and the device discovery features are most valuable."
"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."
"Analytics. It can provide log information from the device. With log information, I can see if there is a threat"
"Our customer did not have security monitoring in the first place. With this solution, it provided security posture management and visibility about the security landscape and threats that they had."
More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
 

Cons

"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"An improvement would be if FortiSIEM's licensing was based on the number of nodes rather than the EPS."
"It would be good if the solution offered even more configuration options, especially in relation to the VPN so that it continues to be a very flexible option."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."
More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice
