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

"We find the solution to be stable."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is highly scalable. I would rate its scalability nine out of ten."
"FortiSIEM sends an email or SMS notifications to admins when there are significant incidents. It's a highly efficient way of responding to incidents."
"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."
"The CMDB and the device discovery features are most valuable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is auto-discovery. When you send logs from any device to port 514, it helps register those devices automatically."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to view all the network events on a single pane and find the point of contact or point of the incident."
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

"Does not have load-sharing or high-availability, and these are important things to implement. I can do the same things in another way, but not naturally having these features makes it complicated."
"The challenge I face with Fortinet FortiSIEM is the lack of support."
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
"The product does not have Security Orchestration and Automation Response, I would recommend adding this feature."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"The support of the product changed recently, and I don't think it's for the better. They should work to improve the support they offer to clients."
"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"
More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."
"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."
"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM was reasonable compared to other solutions."
