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

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

Pros

"ClearSkies is the best for software as a service and small organizations with up to 500 employees."
"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."
"The correlation rules and the user platform are most valuable."
"The solution has an all-in-one approach, where we buy one product and everything our customer needs is included, without additional licenses for more functionality, and any adjustments are done very quickly and easily."
"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."
"It detects new technologies, vulnerabilities, and emerging threats on the internet."
"The tool's most valuable feature stems from the fact that I can see a complete analysis, like all the incidents that have happened, and it detects everything in real-time."
"If you are comparing the product to Cisco's solutions, it's very cheap and moderately priced, it's affordable and at the same time a very effective solution that works well."
"Analytics. It can provide log information from the device. With log information, I can see if there is a threat"
"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."
"If you don't have a dedicated team to handle your logs, don't have a big budget, and want a solution to correlate and collect logs from many vendors, Fortinet FortiSIEM is an excellent choice."
 

Cons

"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."
"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology."
"The main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."
"There could be improvements like introducing some solutions directly into FortiSIEM to avoid the need for separately purchasing additional tools like FortiStore."
"We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction."
"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."
"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."
"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"
"We need more incidents automatically to protect our network."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"One of the things that actually opened a ticket about (and they couldn’t help me) is when traffic is leaving our network, it’ll only report the source."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have changed the pricing policy. Its price is competitive. Its price is less than half of the price of QRadar, LogRhythm, and Splunk."
"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."
