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…

Though the solution offers good technical support, it needs to be made more user-friendly
I rate the initial setup a seven and a half out of ten. So, it's closer to seven. The tool is deployed in our organization on-premises with some test servers. In only two tests in a test environment, the deployment can be carried out. The deployment time only depends on the size of your infrastructure. If I limit the company's size, it will not take too much time. So, it can be done in seven to eight hours. Regarding the deployment process, we have managed some test servers, after which we need to install some agents. If you include more servers, you need to install more agents. If you want to use agent-based, I would say that it is totally up to the stakeholder. You will get some additional benefits if you can choose the agent since you will be more assured that less positive false positive results you will get from the tool. For deployment, one test server, a few deployment servers, and some policy configurations are done by the OEM with some local support. We used some Windows servers and Linux servers, and we installed some agents in different types of operating systems. So different versions of Linux and different versions of Windows. We also integrate some network devices like firewalls to integrate firewalls and logs. So, the amount of logs and firewalls is too much. I have to engage too many employees for deployment. So there are those for Linux servers, others for Windows servers, and the rest for network devices. One for SIEM policy creation and one for SIEM management administration is also required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."
"We have many application systems, and I can set up Fortinet FortiSIEM for users to monitor their systems."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent."
"Technical support is helpful."
"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."
"FortiSIEM allows you to match IPs with threat intelligence feeds from sources like Kaspersky or Anomali, adding valuable context."
"FortiSIEM helped us discover all the threats at the time that were attacking the IT services of the company. We now have multiple-level authentication."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto."
"The UI could improve in Fortinet FortiSIEM. Humans view the UI frequently for data and if it was more visually pleasing it would be beneficial."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."
"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
"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 graphs on the user interface could be improved as we often experience glitches."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
 

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."
"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."
"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."
"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
"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."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
"We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
