Has essential threat detection capabilities, but the features for intelligence need enhancement
We integrated this tool with our security infrastructure. We installed it on a Linux server, where we have a Logger and ESM installed. With the Linux server as the hub, we manage all the configurations and rules, including those for email triggers. The logs are routed through a connector to the Logger, allowing us to monitor our infrastructure effectively. The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities. I recommend it to others and rate it a seven out of ten.

HamedWasel - PeerSpot reviewer
It's cheaper than other solutions with the same features but lacks integration with many third-party vendors
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. I would also like to see FortiSIEM add more of the features available in FortiSOAR. You need to buy two separate solutions to get these features, but they should all be available in one product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to tailor an environment to suit our specific use cases is a major advantage of ArcSight compared to other logging servers such as Splunk."
"The most valuable feature of ArcSight Intelligence is a single console where the entire dashboard gives all the connected details in a single place."
"The product has a valuable interface."
"The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities."
"We found the correlation engine to be very good. It takes logs from different types of devices and does the correlation in a good way."
"It is used as an alerting platform."
"The most valuable feature is auto-discovery. When you send logs from any device to port 514, it helps register those devices automatically."
"We have found the most important features in Fortinet FortiSIEM to be the correlation, file utility check, latest file, and hash changes. These features are important for us."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"FortiSIEM's log correlation is good."
"It detects new technologies, vulnerabilities, and emerging threats on the internet."
"The seamless integration with FortiGate is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."
More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros
 

Cons

"The dashboard is not user-friendly and is in black and white."
"The frequency of the updates that we are getting can be improved because the number and types of incidents that are happening at the global level are far more than what we are receiving. The frequency of updates feeds related to our rules should be increased. There should be more frequent information about the new rules that are coming and the global threats that are happening. There should be better options for dashboard creation. At present, the dashboards are good, but there is scope to make them better."
"We haven't found the product fully scalable."
"ArcSight Intelligence's pricing needs improvement."
"ArcSight Intelligence is a bit slower, and its speed should be improved."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"The deployment of the platform took some time to set up and configure."
"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."
"Not very good on non-API features, lacks that functionality."
"The challenge I face with Fortinet FortiSIEM is the lack of support."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market."
"Improvements include making it easier for users to create their normalizers. Fortinet FortiSIEM uses XML for normalizing and parsing, which can be tedious and time-consuming. A simpler way of using regex could be helpful."
"The built-in APIs in Fortinet FortiSIEM are somewhat lacking and could be improved for better integration with external ITSM products."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ArcSight Intelligence is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive and only suitable for enterprise environments."
"It is an expensive platform."
"Its price is average and not very high. Splunk might be a bit cheaper than this. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"They offer perpetual licenses for the product."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."
"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
"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."

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL
Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
