Featured Reviews

Zuhair Hasan - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Information Technology Security at Nesma
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.

Network Engineer at Ogma Consulting
Comprehensive monitoring boosts security, yet incident management features need expansion
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management. Currently, to manage repetitive incidents or for remediation, I need to use a separate software called FortiSOAR. Additionally, the search functionality in FortiAI should be improved to provide more precise results, making it easier for me to understand what actions need to be taken.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"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."
"ClearSkies is the best for software as a service and small organizations with up to 500 employees."
"The correlation rules and the user platform are most valuable."
"We have many application systems, and I can set up Fortinet FortiSIEM for users to monitor their systems."
"Every feature is good. This is one of the greatest SIEM products on the market."
"With the help of FortiSIEM we have improved the cybersecurity posture of our clients and ours, and through the early detection of threats, it allows us to follow up on each security incident and easily communicate to asset managers about related security events, reducing remediation time."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is that we can combine SOC and NOC operations in the same tool. We can provide NOC and SOC services in the same tool for two separate teams. There are plenty of third-party solutions that integrate with FortiSIEM. All these solutions already have a ready integration, and we have the possibility to create a custom connector for these solutions. Its reports are also very good."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM's most valuable feature is the simplicity in handling multi-tenancy and the ability to switch between different clients at the same time. That was handled flawlessly."
"There are things like dashboards and reports (pre-configured and custom) that let me know that things are operating the way they should be, and when they are not."
"It gives us the opportunity to generate notifications based upon rules that get triggered, and the rules could be specific to PCI, HIPAA, GIBA, NIST, and so forth."
 

Cons

"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology."
"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 main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."
"The support of the product changed recently, and I don't think it's for the better. They should work to improve the support they offer to clients."
"The built-in APIs in Fortinet FortiSIEM are somewhat lacking and could be improved for better integration with external ITSM products."
"The way that upgrades are handled could be a bit cleaner."
"As we're an SMB, I would like to see different licensing options and the solution is priced out of the reach of some small businesses."
"The patch management on the software needs to be better."
"They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."
"They have a yearly subscription."
"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"The price is competitive."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
