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…

Seamless integration and advanced threat intelligence with good data management
I am an implementation architect, so I have admin access to Google Chronicle. Google Chronicle is a SIEM tool that collects and stores data from various sources, such as network logs, cloud logs, device logs, security logs, and audit logs. It offers four types of ingestion: forwarder, cloud…

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 write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats."
"I like the various options, including the option for CMDB and the easier access to create rules, playbooks, or use cases. It's also easier to use for creating dashboards and reports."
"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."
"The solution’s IP database is awesome."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."
"The CMDB and the device discovery features are most valuable."
"I like FortiSIEM because it integrates natively with our other Fortinet solutions and the Fortinet Fabric, but it also integrates with Cisco, Palo Alto and other security fabrics."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"The support team is responsive."
"The dashboards are clean and clearly written, making it easy to use and understand."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
 

Cons

"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"
"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"
"There could be improvements like introducing some solutions directly into FortiSIEM to avoid the need for separately purchasing additional tools like FortiStore."
"The solution needs to do a better job with third party integration. Right now, that's lacking on the solution. I specifically am talking about the AWS environment. Most of the AWS environment products do not have that capability to integrate."
"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."
"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."
"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"The tool needs to improve tasking packages. Its GUI needs to be improved. The product needs to include time-based filtration. We can only see the alert detection timeline now."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The tool is perfectly fine, and I have not faced any challenges while using it."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners."
