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

"We find the solution to be stable."
"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."
"The solution is very stable. It's run for years without the need to do anything except, add new patches when they are available, which are always a good idea to install."
"Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to use."
"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 seamless integration with FortiGate is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"I find customer service to be very good."
"Its console is very easy to use and configure. It is very intuitive for our use cases. App integrations are also pretty nice."
"One of the most valuable features it has is the thread chaining. One of the common issues that we always had was the number of anomalies that we used to get and the number of alerts that we used to get. But with this approach of thread chaining, we've found the false-positive rate has decreased very significantly. That was something that we never could have achieved before."
"One of the valuable features of Securonix is the auto-incident creation, which was not available two or three years ago."
"The user interface is easy to learn and navigate."
"The AI capabilities enhance threat detection."
"The software includes user behavior interactions, dashboards, and training capabilities."
"The second feature is that within the SNYPR product there is a functionality called Spotter. We use that for link analysis diagrams and to run the stats command. That's extremely useful because it replaces a tedious, manual process we used to use, using Microsoft Excel and a couple of other methods, to bring data together."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"The solution's technical support didn't help our company a lot."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market."
"The built-in APIs in Fortinet FortiSIEM are somewhat lacking and could be improved for better integration with external ITSM products."
"The product does not have Security Orchestration and Automation Response, I would recommend adding this feature."
"They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck."
"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."
"We would like a little more face-to-face training. Securonix has several tutorials on its website, but we want there to be a person in Colombia who does training or workshops to give us a better understanding of the platform."
"SIEM could have better integration with other technologies."
"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."
"In terms of improvements, SIEM could have better integration with other technologies. Additionally, it might benefit from integration with other sources, such as firewalls."
"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."
"The analytics-driven approach for finding sophisticated threats and reducing false positives is positive and good, but the platform requires a more dynamic concept. Everything is a bit static."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight out of ten. Compared with Splunk or Oracle, Fortinet is cheap."
"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
"They have a yearly subscription."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's price is double the competitors."
"Its pricing is quite similar to others and is very competitive. The other solutions have different types of licensing, but when you do the math, it is competitive."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."
"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."
