Offers open API for integrating any available tools without any recurring costs
Before committing, I recommend a Proof of Concept (POC) or demo first. This way, you can see if the product aligns with your specific use cases and security needs. Knowledge transfer is key, and D3 Security's team excels in this area. During the POC, your analysts gain valuable product knowledge, putting them ahead of the curve for deployment. In our case, the learning curve was steep initially, but by the end of the POC, my team was already building playbooks independently. D3 Security also schedules dedicated knowledge transfer sessions during the POC, making it a win-win for both parties. Since technology transfer is crucial for government entities like ours, this approach eliminates the need for additional learning after deployment, unlike with certain competitors like the Fortinet FortiSOAR case. While Fortinet FortiSOAR achieved the desired tasks, its knowledge transfer process was lacking, leaving us with a shaky foundation. D3 Security's approach solidifies the learning and empowers our team. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Offers great flexibility and has an easy initial setup phase
The tool is a double-edged sword. From my perspective, Fortinet FortiSOAR's engineering side is very flexible. Whatever my customer requests, Fortinet FortiSOAR is capable of providing that. In terms of the learning curve on how to play with Fortinet FortiSOAR, it becomes very difficult. The learning curve is very high. Though the tool offers high flexibility, it is very hard to get what you want. I learned to use the tool by myself. I do not see myself as a very well competent person with the product. Right now, I rely a lot on my principal engineer to deal with the development part. For the future, I can't see any areas in the tool where I can suggest improvement since the product is already very flexible. The product is able to deliver my customers' requests. Fortinet FortiSOAR is very user-friendly for the end users. Things can get very difficult for the engineering or developer side. The product can redesign the interface to develop the playbook and all of the data on all of the components. The tool's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are needed.
