Easy and quick credential monitoring; tech support could be improved
Our primary use case for this solution is as a threat intelligence platform. We stream various threat feeds into this platform. We also make correlations between the feeds to duplicate the data, aggregate it and then present it to our security solutions for advanced security The way that this…

It's cheaper than other solutions with the same features but lacks integration with many third-party vendors
I am part of the team that implements the solution, and we hand it over to the operations team. We use FortiSIEM to ingest logs. The customer provides us with the IPs for the log sources, and we add them to the FortiSIEM dashboard. We can check the logs for signs of malicious access from outside…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses."
"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM has its own validated and authentic IP database that marks malicious IP attacks against the firewall and generates an alert for the same."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"The advanced agents used to collect logs have been most valuable. We have also made use of the advanced intelligence this solution offers."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution is its integration with other technologies, especially its ability to collect logs from Cisco and Aruba devices along with Fortinet products."
 

Cons

"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire."
"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"
"Customer support service could be better."
"I would like to see easier implementation in the future."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"FortiSIEM needs to expand its integration with third-party vendors. I don't know if Forcepoint has been added, but there were limited resources for integrating Forcepoint solutions when we implemented FortiSIEM. It integrates well with other Fortinet products and solutions from established cybersecurity companies like Palo Alto but doesn't integrate with some of the newer vendors."
"Their product support, in general, is not that great. The product support is in the same ecosystem. Their support is improving but it's not that great.vvv"
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."
"The price is competitive."
"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."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
"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."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
