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.

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

"I like FortiSIEM because it integrates natively with our other Fortinet solutions and the Fortinet Fabric, but it also integrates with Cisco, Palo Alto and other security fabrics."

"It gives us the opportunity to generate notifications based upon rules that get triggered, and the rules could be specific to PCI, HIPAA, GIBA, NIST, and so forth."

"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."

"The solution is very stable. It's run for years without the need to do anything except, add new patches when they are available, which are always a good idea to install."

"One of the most valuable features is that we can combine SOC and NOC operations in the same tool. We can provide NOC and SOC services in the same tool for two separate teams. There are plenty of third-party solutions that integrate with FortiSIEM. All these solutions already have a ready integration, and we have the possibility to create a custom connector for these solutions. Its reports are also very good."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."

"The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate."

"The most fascinating aspect of FortiSIEM is its integration with the MITRE ATT&CK framework."

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

"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."

"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 backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."

"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."

"The deployment of the platform took some time to set up and configure."

"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."

"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."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."

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

"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."

"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."

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

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

"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."
