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…

A stable network monitoring tool requiring an easy initial setup phase

In terms of the integration and everything, our company would like Kaseya Traverse to integrate with our PSA system and merge or automate what we call false positives, making it more of a threshold than needing to raise an actual ticket to deal with real problems, which can cut off a lot of noise the system goes through. Our company is busy with the solution's integration part, and we wanted an update on the solution that can help us. The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently. I don't have a technical wish list like technical managers since the product manager looks after the product. From a wish list perspective, our company just wants seamless integration to cut out the noise by merging false positives since the system has the capability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses."

"The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate."

"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."

"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."

"It's easy to manage. There's a web interface and a command line, depending on what the user is comfortable with. There's a large knowledge base available, and the support is timely."

"The seamless integration with FortiGate is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"Analytics. It can provide log information from the device. With log information, I can see if there is a threat"

"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."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"It is a pretty stable solution...It is a pretty stable solution."

"It's a simple and humble tool."

"Most of the features are pretty good and the solution is user friendly."

"The remote support and data collection features are great."

"Kaseya Traverse is a very stable solution and very sustainable in terms of what the market wants, what is out there, price-wise and functionality features. They're quite competitive and they are always innovating."

"We have found the solution to be very flexible to our requirements. We have been able to configure it on-premise effectively when we were using less of the cloud."

"Everything is running seamlessly on the solution, to the point where you don't see any gap."

Cons

"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."

"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."

"The product does not have Security Orchestration and Automation Response, I would recommend adding this feature."

"The dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much."

"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."

"We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files."

"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."

"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"In terms of what could be improved, we are innovating all the time, as well as having a look at different avenues so that the strategy follows the structure. I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully asses what it has."

"Dashboards and Central Protection were an issue. Also, database monitoring was not there. Even though they said that it was there at an additional cost, that tool was very basic. We couldn't have device configuration backup also."

"Reporting is a bit difficult."

"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."

"Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect."

"Kaseya Traverse can improve by adding a Service Map to help us create a configuration management database (CMDB), this would be helpful for us."

"We've noticed a few bugs as of late. However, this seems to only be in the reporting part of the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive."

"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."

"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."

"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."

"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."

"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM was reasonable compared to other solutions."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"The solution is not cheap, but it is not too expensive."

"The price depends on whether you are monitoring different applications, especially in bulk, and depends on what you're doing. If you're monitoring one endpoint, it will cost you 150 ZAR."
