A user-friendly solution that can be used to integrate the logs properly with different connectors
We use ArcSight Intelligence for some user behavioral analytics. The solution is used to integrate the logs properly with different Unix-based and Microsoft-based connectors. The solution gives us alerts on a single console to give us clear visibility of the total network and filter the unnecessary…

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 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 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."
"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."
"Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories."
"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats."
"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to view all the network events on a single pane and find the point of contact or point of the incident."
"To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy."
"We like the integration of all of these Fortinet platforms together. Everything is integrated well, and we are able to sell that as a service to our customers."
 

Cons

"The dashboard is not user-friendly and is in black and white."
"ArcSight Intelligence is a bit slower, and its speed should be improved."
"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."
"ArcSight Intelligence's pricing needs improvement."
"We haven't found the product fully scalable."
"The solution's technical support didn't help our company a lot."
"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."
"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"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."
"The UI could improve in Fortinet FortiSIEM. Humans view the UI frequently for data and if it was more visually pleasing it would be beneficial."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They offer perpetual licenses for the product."
"The solution is expensive and only suitable for enterprise environments."
"ArcSight Intelligence is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
"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."
"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."

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…
