Featured Reviews

Oliver Jackson - PeerSpot reviewer
Systems monitoring enhanced by firewall and intrusion detection features
My primary use case for Fortinet FortiSIEM is systems monitoring and alerting. I use it for standard functions like log monitoring, incident detection, and notification.  My customers are mostly medium-sized enterprises ranging from engineering companies, mining companies, independent schools, and…
Abdullah Secca - PeerSpot reviewer
Valuable monitoring and integration features boost compliance
They are not in the US market, and the quality of support has declined. They migrated operations from Boston to Denmark, and we cannot use a tool hosted outside the country. Additionally, dealing with foreign entities for support was a challenge, leading us to switch providers due to lack of adequate support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is used as an alerting platform."
"The most valuable features for us are the built-in reports and alerts, along with the extreme flexibility in reporting and rule generation."
"The most valuable feature is the anomaly-reporting alarms."
"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."
"FortiSIEM sends an email or SMS notifications to admins when there are significant incidents. It's a highly efficient way of responding to incidents."
"We're able to get real-timec as well as our customer networks that we're monitoring at all times."
"The most valuable feature is auto-discovery. When you send logs from any device to port 514, it helps register those devices automatically."
"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."
"The technical support for Logpoint is very good, and I would rate it as nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features are the ones that we use the most, which are the search and report facilities."
"The UEBA component, as well as the SOAR component, are some of the most valuable features of Logpoint."
"The flexibility of the search feature and the solution's analytics features are the most valuable parts of the solution."
"The most beneficial was being able to prove, with proper reports, that from a compliance perspective, the company is in control. The service part of LogPoint did modifications or did some additional work to have the proper reports defined."
"Log collection, dashboards and reporting are good."
"It is an AI technology because it is using machine learning technology. So far, there is nothing better out there for UEBA in terms of monitoring endpoints and user activity. It is using machine learning language, so it is right at the top. It provides that capability and monitors all the activities. It devises a baseline and monitors if there is any deviation from the baseline."
"We like the user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and find it valuable."
 

Cons

"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"FortiSIEM needs to expand its integration with third-party vendors. I don't know if Forcepoint has been added, but there were limited resources for integrating Forcepoint solutions when we implemented FortiSIEM. It integrates well with other Fortinet products and solutions from established cybersecurity companies like Palo Alto but doesn't integrate with some of the newer vendors."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having better integration and extensions. This would benefit by allowing us to give more rules."
"I would like to see easier implementation in the future."
"The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases."
"It would be good if the solution offered even more configuration options, especially in relation to the VPN so that it continues to be a very flexible option."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"Sometimes, the product is not stable."
"It is complicated to collect daily logs from other systems."
"LogPoint can improve its dashboards. We are not able to customize the dashboard when creating them. They only have preset dashboards which do not have exactly what we are looking for."
"The general public wasn't looking for that type of product unless you had a company that was medical or financial and needed 24-hour responsiveness."
"They are not in the US market, and the quality of support has declined."
"Nowadays the trend is going towards the ransomware and the endpoint detection and response. So if they added something for that, that will be very, very good."
"Dashboards could be developed further."
"The solution should offer more integrations and third-party solutions like incident response platforms or allow access to third-party big data"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM was reasonable compared to other solutions."
"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
"Logpoint's pricing is mid-ranged and depends on the number of devices."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I would rate LogPoint's pricing a seven. It is not very expensive compared to some of the more costly products, and it is not very cheap compared to some of the cheaper products in the SIEM market."
"It's less expensive than the competitors. The Logpoint marketing team is very accommodating and client-friendly. They offer very good reductions in price. They are pretty good in this aspect. They are transparent in their licensing and pricing."
"LogPoint seemed like it was a good product, but it was expensive and there wasn't any room to move the pricing when customers needed a lower-costing solution."
"It was on a yearly basis at about $100K. It was not a huge environment. We were running it on our own virtual server environment, which, of course, had a cost. There was hardware and some energy cost, and then there were Microsoft Windows licenses for servers. That's all, but there was nothing in comparison to the licensing costs."
"Our licensing fees are about $10,000 USD per month, which I think is fair."
"It's getting more expensive, which is one of the reasons we're looking around just to see if there's anything better value."
"For a hundred user deployment the cost is about $10,000. The next year it would be the same because it's a subscription-based license. There are separate costs as well, for example, if a customer asks for training for their staff."
