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

"It gives greater visibility via the dashboards into the real-time status of the network and also provides specific alerts and performance monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to view all the network events on a single pane and find the point of contact or point of the incident."
"Fortinet support is very fast, and if I need to ask something, I'll get a response within a couple of hours."
"I like the various options, including the option for CMDB and the easier access to create rules, playbooks, or use cases, and it's also easier to use for creating dashboards and reports."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. CMDB database collects data from a lot of pre-configured devices."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to use."
"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."
"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
 

Cons

"The solution's technical support didn't help our company a lot."
"With FortiSIEM, the issue has to do with the ways we can generate a report. It's not as flexible compared to that with other SIEM tools, like Splunk."
"Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"The challenge I face with Fortinet FortiSIEM is the lack of support."
"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."
"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

"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
"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."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"They have a yearly subscription."
"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."
