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.

It's not very attractive when compared to other solutions but the pricing is comfortable.
Log collection, and correlation engine usage. It has some limitations in parser modules. Comfort in pricing.  It's not very attractive in comparison to other solutions.  It needs to improve in AI and automatic parsing. One to three years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"This is a very stable product - we have never had a crash with it."
"We have many application systems, and I can set up Fortinet FortiSIEM for users to monitor their systems."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"It gives greater visibility via the dashboards into the real-time status of the network and also provides specific alerts and performance monitoring."
"The event correlation is pretty robust."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM's most valuable feature is the simplicity in handling multi-tenancy and the ability to switch between different clients at the same time. That was handled flawlessly."
"The seamless integration with FortiGate is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Comfort in pricing."
 

Cons

"The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"The initial setup with Fortinet FortiSIEM Accelops was not easy. We had faced a few problems, but I think Fortinet should give more training courses for their resellers."
"When compared with some competitors, in terms of performance, the CPU and RAM requirements and the capability of coordination with development all need some improvement."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration. They need to improve the documentation library."
"It has some limitations in parser modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have a yearly subscription."
"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."
"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."
"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM was reasonable compared to other solutions."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"The price is competitive."
