Comprehensive monitoring boosts security, yet incident management features need expansion
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management. Currently, to manage repetitive incidents or for remediation, I need to use a separate software called FortiSOAR. Additionally, the search functionality in FortiAI should be improved to provide more precise results, making it easier for me to understand what actions need to be taken.

Unified alerts have strengthened our real-time security decisions and support ongoing compliance
Splunk MCP Server is a standard SIEM solution. Splunk MCP Server offers a huge opportunity to configure the solution according to organizational needs, but this is not easy for most companies. It is better to get support from external MSSP companies. As far as I can see, MSSP companies in Turkey are also not very capable, and this is the issue. I learned that Splunk's capabilities in Machine Learning and AI are very powerful. I started to read and try to understand this part, but I have not had a chance to work with it in a real product, demo, or production environment. I used the product from both MSSP companies and managed it mutually, so I had a chance to access the product. This is one of the powerful sides of Splunk MCP Server. The product does provide benefits in terms of performance, but my team has not had the chance to learn and develop themselves. We cooperated with the MSSP company on this part, which has been acceptable. Splunk MCP Server is one of the main functions of our security strategy and cyber defense strategy. It is crucial to configure it to get information, logs, and alerts from other infrastructure and security systems. If this integration part is not done properly, Splunk MCP Server cannot detect and alert us, which is a critical aspect. We need to develop ourselves, as my company and MSSPs need to advance their integration capabilities with customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"I like the various options, including the option for CMDB and the easier access to create rules, playbooks, or use cases, and it's also easier to use for creating dashboards and reports."
"The most valuable features for us are the built-in reports and alerts, along with the extreme flexibility in reporting and rule generation."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."
"The advanced agents used to collect logs have been most valuable. We have also made use of the advanced intelligence this solution offers."
"The pricing is very, very affordable; for the value you get, I think it’s about the cheapest solution on the market."
"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."
"The product has a significant impact on my real-time decision-making by providing automated messages and notifications for security issues proactively."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management. Currently, to manage repetitive incidents or for remediation, I need to use a separate software called FortiSOAR."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."

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