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.

I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"The solution is easy to use and user-friendly."
"FortiSIEM gives us a lot of valuable events and details by using a unified event-based framework to analyze all data including logs, performance monitoring data and provides a broad range of metrics."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."
"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."
"Fortinet support is very fast, and if I need to ask something, I'll get a response within a couple of hours."
"Technical support is very good. The people in support are excellent, and they know this product in and out."
"It gives greater visibility via the dashboards into the real-time status of the network and also provides specific alerts and performance monitoring."
"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
 

Cons

"The interface needs some improvements because it's a bit cumbersome when you're trying to view items. It takes some time to get used to. Additionally, sometimes the scrolling does not work."
"Their product support, in general, is not that great. When you log a call, you don't get instant replies or if there is a bug they take ages to fix it and they ask you to hold."
"FortiSIEM is a bit resource-hungry, so work should be done on hardware resource utilization to consume less hardware."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"While AccelOps tries to be a “Jack of All”, it unfortunately is a master of none. This means that the product has poor support for some third-party security technologies, such as data loss prevention (DLP), application security testing, network forensics and deep packet inspection (DPI)."
"Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire."
"The initial setup with Fortinet FortiSIEM Accelops was not easy. We had faced a few problems, but I think Fortinet should give more training courses for their resellers."
"Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire."
"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is probably more on the lower cost end of the spectrum compared to competing products. Fortinet's license model is based on events per second, which makes sense, but that's not typical. It makes it very hard to calculate what your costs are going to be as you scale the platform because some log sources, such as firewall logs, are very noisy, and there are lots and lots of events per second, but some of them are not. So, it becomes a bit of a science experiment trying to guess what your costs are going to be as you scale the solution. This is where other competing products perhaps have a more straightforward license model."
"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
"Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."
