Executive SummaryUpdated on Sep 18, 2024

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
1.0
Fortinet FortiSIEM delivers security improvements and customer satisfaction, leading to positive financial outcomes despite no explicit ROI measurement.
Sentiment score
3.1
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM boosts security awareness, operational efficiency, and ROI, reducing costs and response times for users.
The solution is time-saving, particularly in the long run after it is deployed, enabling us to get value promptly.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.4
Fortinet FortiSIEM's customer service is seen as professional but has mixed reviews on response times and support accessibility.
Sentiment score
5.6
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM support is generally effective and knowledgeable but varies in response time, with regional differences.
There is a knowledgeable, though small, team of support engineers around the world.
Local tech support is available, however, for more critical or technical issues, we depend on the OEM directly, especially when it comes to on-prem solutions.
They take some time to respond because they need logs and investigations, which delays the response time.
There is no UK-based support, which leads to delays in waiting for US support.
If I raise a ticket, it initially goes to the L1 team, but the next level of escalation is really effective.
They excel in response times and quick reactions when there's an actual threat.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Fortinet FortiSIEM scales well, accommodating different business sizes but faces challenges with licensing, architecture, and configuration complexities.
Sentiment score
7.9
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM excels in scalability and performance, efficiently managing large data volumes and user numbers in cloud environments.
Fortinet FortiSIEM is highly scalable.
At any point in time, when network devices increase or there is a change in the infrastructure, we can add more workers and collectors to expand our infrastructure setup.
Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to scale.
I can rate it around eight to nine, and it is very scalable and capable of handling tasks, especially for the on-premises product.
It's certainly meant for large entities and to some extent medium entities who are on a growth trajectory, but certainly not for small ones.
The solution is scalable as it is cloud-based and cloud-native.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
5.6
Fortinet FortiSIEM is reliable and stable, handling updates well, with users rating its performance highly despite occasional bugs.
Sentiment score
7.8
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is stable with good performance, occasional slowness, and effective log management, despite initial challenges.
It stabilizes itself in an appropriate time, so its uptime is good.
Some stability issues occur, but Fortinet's technical support team provides assistance.
These issues may cause unusual errors and user interface issues.
The stability of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is based on the events we are processing.
 

Room For Improvement

Fortinet FortiSIEM needs improvements in integration, user interface, support, cost, and features like AI and automated responses.
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM needs improvements in user experience, integration, automation, customization, technical support, and compatibility with other technologies.
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management.
Enhancing the completeness of its APIs could aid in better external integrations.
Recently, they revised it to a subscription-based, all-inclusive license.
At the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present.
When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck.
The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth.
 

Setup Cost

Fortinet FortiSIEM provides flexible pricing that can be cost-effective, but costs may increase with additional modules and scalability.
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM offers transparent, competitive pricing based on users, excluding data charges, making it attractive for enterprises.
Windows agent licenses cost around 3,000 Rupees per device per year.
Setting it up for oneself as an enterprise-licensed product can be quite expensive.
The revised model is subscription-based and more flexible.
Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS.
The solution is definitely not expensive.
The pricing has similar ingestion charges compared to other solutions, such as Splunk.
 

Valuable Features

Fortinet FortiSIEM provides automation, analytics, and integration with a user-friendly interface for efficient threat detection and network monitoring.
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM enhances threat detection through advanced analytics and AI-driven features, reducing false positives and manual efforts.
It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security.
I find the real-time monitoring and correlation capabilities effective for security alerts.
Their customer responses are great, and they keep using the new AI tools to keep themselves at the edge of the game.
Compared to the previous solution we used, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM has many advantages on the MTTR part, as the containment and alerts automations are feasible from the response point of view.
Now, the process is automatic, reducing our workload.

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.
