Has good integration capability and provides information and events but improvement is needed in information retrieval speed
The best features are the comprehensive event collection and analysis. Once set up properly, we receive all events and information. The team analyzes our data and presents incidents to us. We can communicate with their team to escalate and resolve incidents. It has a feature we use to search for information about our environment and past incidents. This is very valuable. The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets.

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 correlation rules and the user platform are most valuable."
"The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets."
"FortiSIEM sends an email or SMS notifications to admins when there are significant incidents. It's a highly efficient way of responding to incidents."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is highly scalable. I would rate its scalability nine out of ten."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to use."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"The solution’s IP database is awesome."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security."
"The most valuable feature is auto-discovery. When you send logs from any device to port 514, it helps register those devices automatically."
More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros
 

Cons

"The main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."
"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology. They also improve their correlation engine. In addition to collecting logs from devices, they can collect the traffic and then correlate these logs and the traffic information."
"The solution's technical support didn't help our company a lot."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."
"We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files."
"There could be improvements like introducing some solutions directly into FortiSIEM to avoid the need for separately purchasing additional tools like FortiStore."
"Network detection and response is a separate product."
"It lacks a "wizard" that shows a particular user's activity or particular circumstance. I think the interface is intimidating because there's so much information there."
"It's difficult to integrate unsupported devices with FortiSIEM compared to QRadar. It's easier to integrate and develop processes in QRadar. It's harder to develop a custom process in FortiSIEM."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."

"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
"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 is competitive."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."
"They have a yearly subscription."
