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…

Less false positives, good detection and integration capabilities, and good pricing

The incident response area should be improved. It is more difficult than other products, but overall, it is good. The platform has a lot of options and functionality. So, you need to check almost everything. For new engineers or people who don’t have much experience with this kind of platform, it is a bit difficult, but for experienced engineers, it is not that difficult. When you have been doing a lot of work for about one or two hours, and you have a lot of tabs open, it slows down or gets stuck. There is a delay of 10 to 15 seconds in opening tabs or dashboards. I don't know why this happens, but for me, it is not a big issue. I just wait, and that's all.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."

"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."

"To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy."

"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."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"It's very easy for anyone to work with."

"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."

"The most valuable features of the solution is its integration with other technologies, especially its ability to collect logs from Cisco and Aruba devices along with Fortinet products."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"The user interface is easy to learn and navigate."

"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."

"One of the valuable features of Securonix is the auto-incident creation, which was not available two or three years ago."

"The feature that is most valuable is the fact that it's an open platform, so it allows us to modify policies and tune policies as needed. There's also a feature called Data Insights which allows us to create different dashboards on specific things of interest for us."

"One of the most valuable features is the integration of all types of data sources to extract relevant information regarding events. It is a good solution when it comes to the correlations that it makes within all the data handled in our company."

"The solution has proven to be stable so far...The solution is easy to scale up."

"The software includes user behavior interactions, dashboards, and training capabilities."

"The solution's AI features reduce the need for manual analysis and help in decision-making. It displays the report in seconds. It saves my resources three to four hours of work."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

Cons

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market."

"Improvements include making it easier for users to create their normalizers. Fortinet FortiSIEM uses XML for normalizing and parsing, which can be tedious and time-consuming. A simpler way of using regex could be helpful."

"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."

"The dashboard needs to improve."

"Network detection and response is a separate product."

"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."

"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."

"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"The incident response area should be improved."

"It takes too long to generate Spotter reports. For example, a 90-day report is around 100 megabytes. That takes a while, but a one-day report can be generated in a few seconds. We would be happy if they sped up the process."

"The pricing. I'm not sure how they are proceeding with the identity based pricing compared with DB pricing which most of the vendors are using today."

"One of the things they can improve on a little bit is the usability side, to make some things simpler... The tool does have a lot of knobs, you can turn a lot of things on and off and you can change things. Sometimes, it can become a little overwhelming. They should remove some confirmation options and make it simpler for the less mature customers and people who are still trying to grasp it."

"Securonix could open up information regarding the indicators of compromise or cyber-threat intelligence database that they use. The idea is that they share what threats they are detecting."

"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings and needs improvement."

"When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck."

"A helpful feature would be an event export. A way to create more substantial summary reports would be nice."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."

"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."

"The price is competitive."

"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."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"We went in on a three-year agreement which has an annual licensing fee, based upon the number of people that we're monitoring. There have not been any additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."

"A good thing about Securonix is that they don't charge by volume of data or number of devices... They charge by the number of employees, which is a much more predictable number for me, versus data. Our costs are in the $100,000 range over a three-year subscription."

"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."

"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."

"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. It is a pretty expensive tool."

"The solution's price is double the competitors."

"We have a license from our 5.0, so that license just continued. We paid them the extra cloud-hosting costs for a year which were about $300,000."
