"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature stems from the fact that I can see a complete analysis, like all the incidents that have happened, and it detects everything in real-time."
"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
 

Cons

"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"
"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."
"I would like to see easier implementation in the future."
"The policy editing should be easier. Right now, it's too hard."
"They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto."
"Network detection and response is a separate product."
"There could be improvements like introducing some solutions directly into FortiSIEM to avoid the need for separately purchasing additional tools like FortiStore."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."
"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."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
