Simple implementation, good performance, but scalability lacking
I am using Fortinet FortiSIEM to correlate events in our enterprise Fortinet FortiSIEM has helped our organization by providing us with business monitoring. The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events. Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several…

Quick to deploy and helpful in detecting and responding to security incidents before there is a big outage
I used it in my previous company. We were the integrator of the solution, and also a partner of Rapid7 at the time.  We used it for security monitoring and also for analytics. We used it for our own company, and like an MSSP, we sold this to our customers. So, we did security monitoring for our…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our customer did not have security monitoring in the first place. With this solution, it provided security posture management and visibility about the security landscape and threats that they had."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."
"Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us."
"FortiSIEM provides a single PIN to monitor SOC and NOC. It's a nice tool for integration and monitoring. It provides multiple categories for monitoring based on security designations like low, medium, and high."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."
"FortiSIEM helped us discover all the threats at the time that were attacking the IT services of the company. We now have multiple-level authentication."
More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros
"The technical support is a solid 10 out of 10 as they take the time to answer any questions or problems which may arise in a reasonable time frame."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."
"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​"
"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros
 

Cons

"The dashboard needs to improve."
"It would be good if the solution offered even more configuration options, especially in relation to the VPN so that it continues to be a very flexible option."
"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"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."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"
"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."
"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
"The price is competitive."
"They have a yearly subscription."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product. The free version license of the product is available for two months."
"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."
"This is probably more on the lower cost end of the spectrum compared to competing products. Fortinet's license model is based on events per second, which makes sense, but that's not typical. It makes it very hard to calculate what your costs are going to be as you scale the platform because some log sources, such as firewall logs, are very noisy, and there are lots and lots of events per second, but some of them are not. So, it becomes a bit of a science experiment trying to guess what your costs are going to be as you scale the solution. This is where other competing products perhaps have a more straightforward license model."
More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
