Featured Reviews

Oliver Jackson - PeerSpot reviewer
Systems monitoring enhanced by firewall and intrusion detection features
My primary use case for Fortinet FortiSIEM is systems monitoring and alerting. I use it for standard functions like log monitoring, incident detection, and notification.  My customers are mostly medium-sized enterprises ranging from engineering companies, mining companies, independent schools, and…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is auto-discovery. When you send logs from any device to port 514, it helps register those devices automatically."
"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."
"The CMDB and the device discovery features are most valuable."
"We're able to get real-timec as well as our customer networks that we're monitoring at all times."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."
"We have found the most important features in Fortinet FortiSIEM to be the correlation, file utility check, latest file, and hash changes. These features are important for us."
"It's a very nice solution to work with."
"We like the integration of all of these Fortinet platforms together. Everything is integrated well, and we are able to sell that as a service to our customers."
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

"FortiSIEM needs to expand its integration with third-party vendors. I don't know if Forcepoint has been added, but there were limited resources for integrating Forcepoint solutions when we implemented FortiSIEM. It integrates well with other Fortinet products and solutions from established cybersecurity companies like Palo Alto but doesn't integrate with some of the newer vendors."
"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"
"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."
"Network detection and response is a separate product."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update."
"The product does not have Security Orchestration and Automation Response, I would recommend adding this feature."
"They could work on their documentation. If there's anything about the solution that needs improvement, it's that. For example, documentation already is on a very high level but specifically on the CLI there are tons of features which can be fine-tuned and thousands of commands are very difficult to document. If they could make this easier, it would improve the overall solution."
More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."
"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."
"They have a yearly subscription."
"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."
"The price is competitive."
