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…
Mohammed Nadeem Rais - PeerSpot reviewer
The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.
The most valuable feature of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is its advance analytics, flexibility and scalability. We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation. This makes it a robust and cost-effective solution for our needs. Its user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) are also integral for detecting insider threats and lateral movements within the organization. These features help organizations strengthen their security posture, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with strict regulatory requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy."
"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM has its own validated and authentic IP database that marks malicious IP attacks against the firewall and generates an alert for the same."
"The software includes user behavior interactions, dashboards, and training capabilities."
"I was looking for software as a service rather than having issues with managing hardware, upgrades, updates. I was trying to step away from that. Those were the key factors when looking at Securonix as a full-feature SIEM with next-generation capabilities available."
"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."
"When we were looking for products for our security monitoring needs, our biggest requirement was that we wanted something based on machine-learning and analytics. If you go with rules, it can raise a lot of noise. Securonix, with its UEBA capability, had the best analytics use-cases."
"Its console is very easy to use and configure. It is very intuitive for our use cases. App integrations are also pretty nice."
"The user interface is easy to learn and navigate."
"One of the valuable features of Securonix is the auto-incident creation, which was not available two or three years ago."
"The most valuable feature is what Securonix calls enrichment. Securonix is very powerful because of all the data it can process and automatically enrich. The actionable intelligence it provides is one of its benefits, due to the processing capacity it has."
 

Cons

"Network detection and response is a separate product."
"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."
"The solution's technical support didn't help our company a lot."
"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"The process of installing Fortinet FortiSIEM and the customization of the alerts take too long."
"The interface needs some improvements because it's a bit cumbersome when you're trying to view items. It takes some time to get used to. Additionally, sometimes the scrolling does not work."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several locations or sites."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
"When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck."
"Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's deployment is complex and you need a team to do it."
"We thought they were going to be a great product, however, they're actually not great at all as an MSP."
"The customization in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is more difficult compared to other solutions. At the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present."
"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Sometimes, there is instability in the data in terms of the customization of the time. I have sometimes observed discrepancies in the data, which is something they should work on. They should bring more stability to time customization. If we are seeing a particular data, when we change the time zone, there should be the same data. There should not be any discrepancy."
"Other than issues with the training, there have been issues with the encryption. There have also been issues with some of the reporting, minor glitches that they have fixed as they've gone along."
"We have compliance needs. We have investigation needs. And we have situations where an analyst needs to look at threats. These three things require a different view of how they look at the threats. What would be good is to have Securonix create three different views of their Security Command Center so that, depending on the persona of the person logging in, they'd get the relevant data they need and not see everything."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM was reasonable compared to other solutions."
"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."
"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."
"The price is competitive."
"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."
"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."
"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."
"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."
"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."
"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."
"The solution's price is double the competitors."
"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."
"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."
"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."
