Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users.""FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent.""Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us.""It's very easy for anyone to work with.""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.""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.""Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections.""Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Pros →

"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users.""This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it.""I like the fact that I can aggregate multiple interfaces into a single graph. It allows me to quickly the summary of traffic for multiple devices which is helpful.""This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting.""We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all.""The most valuable features are scalability and reliability.""In terms of network visibility, Statseeker can be very granular. We can tell it exactly where we want it to go and where we want it to check, or it can do an SNMP walk and find out where everything is. It's very detailed.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."

Cons
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal.""Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire.""There could be more AI features included in the product.""Does not have load-sharing or high-availability, and these are important things to implement. I can do the same things in another way, but not naturally having these features makes it complicated.""The solution needs to do a better job with third party integration. Right now, that's lacking on the solution. I specifically am talking about the AWS environment. Most of the AWS environment products do not have that capability to integrate.""They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR.""The log collection and configuration management are not great.""An improvement would be if FortiSIEM's licensing was based on the number of nodes rather than the EPS."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Cons →

"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards.""It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces.""I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents.""The user interface needs to be made more intuitive.""We haven't seen an ROI.""I'd say the interface could improve a little bit. I find with new users, I tend to have to spend a bit of time walking them through how to use the interface. It could be a little more user friendly.""I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation.""The main issue I've seen, in the last six months to a year, is when I upgrade I seem to be hitting bugs. The upgrade won't go smoothly and I have to engage support. These things happen when you upgrade, it's not the end of the world, but from a stability point of view, the only time I've so far, is during upgrades."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Please be cheaper and more simplified."
  • "We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
  • "Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
  • "Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."
  • "The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
  • "They have a yearly subscription."
  • "The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
  • "Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
  • More Fortinet FortiSIEM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
  • "One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."
  • "Up until we actually talked to Statseeker, and Statseeker came and gave us an enterprise licensing model for multiple accounts, I would have said the pricing was not good value. The fact they've come to the party now and given us a very good discount, I would say it's probably about right, the pricing they're giving us now. But the retail pricing, if I went out and, as a separate company, and asked for pricing for one account, I probably would say their retail pricing is not competitive. The fact that they've given us a discount now because we have multiple servers across multiple accounts, I would say that pricing is about right, but not their retail pricing. It's too expensive."
  • "We now feel the pricing is a good value. Previously we had a just a normal license but now we've got an Enterprise license. Since the Enterprise, it's been a lot better value. We did think it was pretty expensive before, but with the Enterprise license it's almost less than half that price. If you have a number of accounts within the organization that use Statseeker, I would suggest get the Enterprise license."
  • "We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
  • "We have permanent licenses so there's really no cost, other than ongoing maintenance. When I think about it, that's running us about $20,000 a year."
  • "It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
  • "It's probably $5K a year for the license."
