Network Engineer at Ogma Consulting
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.

Président at ARS Solutions
Support both French and English, which is important for us and adapted to the evolving security landscape over time in my experience
You need a skilled engineer to deploy it because you can do anything with this tool. You can see everything on the network. A good engineer will be surprised and have fun using this tool because it's very powerful. Deployment process: You need to build a recipe/layout when you want to deploy something. Once the recipe is done, you just have to copy it. So you really need a good engineer at first, but then any other technician can copy the recipe. You don't need to be an expert once the recipe is finalized. So, once you have it set up, it's easy to deploy. But you need a good engineer to deploy it correctly. You will get alerts from the system, but if you want to fully explore and maximize the tool, the engineering needs are different.

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

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."
"Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire."
"Network detection and response is a separate product."
"While AccelOps tries to be a “Jack of All”, it unfortunately is a master of none. This means that the product has poor support for some third-party security technologies, such as data loss prevention (DLP), application security testing, network forensics and deep packet inspection (DPI)."
"For example, the design is bad because you have one supervisor on one machine and you handle everything off this machine supervisor."
"Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time."
"The challenge I face with Fortinet FortiSIEM is the lack of support."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having better integration and extensions. This would benefit by allowing us to give more rules."
"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."
"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"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."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."
"We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
