Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use and user-friendly."
"I like FortiSIEM because it integrates natively with our other Fortinet solutions and the Fortinet Fabric, but it also integrates with Cisco, Palo Alto and other security fabrics."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The most fascinating aspect of FortiSIEM is its integration with the MITRE ATT&CK framework."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."
"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."
"Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses."
"Analytics. It can provide log information from the device. With log information, I can see if there is a threat"
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
 

Cons

"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"Not very good on non-API features, lacks that functionality."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"The solution's technical support didn't help our company a lot."
"We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."
"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."
"While ManageEngine Log360 is a significant improvement, there could be enhancements in terms of integrating more user-friendly training materials and better deployment documentation."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"The support needs improvement."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product. The free version license of the product is available for two months."

"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM was reasonable compared to other solutions."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
