"Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses."
"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."
"The solution’s IP database is awesome."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"We have many application systems, and I can set up Fortinet FortiSIEM for users to monitor their systems."
"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the combination of the software and the support that they have."
"The search feature is valuable. The dashboards are also valuable for our bosses. Another valuable feature, which is the main feature of the product, is the centralization of all the logs."
"The integration is very user-friendly. There are not many CLI commands. Everything is directly accessible from the web interface."
"The most valuable features are the ones that we use the most, which are the search and report facilities."
"Log collection, dashboards and reporting are good."
"Technical support is responsive and very friendly."
"We like the user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and find it valuable."
"What I like best about LogPoint is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions. LogPoint also has better dashboards which I find valuable. I also like that you can create use cases based on your assets."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."
"Does not have load-sharing or high-availability, and these are important things to implement. I can do the same things in another way, but not naturally having these features makes it complicated."
"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
"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 dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much."
"When compared with some competitors, in terms of performance, the CPU and RAM requirements and the capability of coordination with development all need some improvement."
"One of the downsides is it is not a SaaS solution. It must be on-premises."
"In terms of functionality, it is very good. The only issue is the documentation. Its documentation should be improved."
"The thing that makes it a little bit challenging is when you run into a situation where you have logs that are not easily parsable. If a log has a very specific structure, it is very easy to parse and create a parser for it, but if a log has a free form, meaning that it is of any length or it can change at any time, handling such a log is very challenging, not just in LogPoint but also in everything else. Everybody struggles with that scenario, and LogPoint is also in the same boat. One-third of logs are of free form or not of a specific length, and you can run into situations where it is almost impossible to parse the log, even if they try to help you. It is just the nature of the beast."
"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."
"What could be improved in LogPoint is its UI because it's less friendly to users than LogRhythm. The UI could be more aesthetically appealing to users. It's completely outdated."
"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."
"Sometimes, the product is not stable."
"I know that they have user behavior analytics, but it's an extra cost for this feature. It would be nice if it was in with the standard products."
