It's cheaper than other solutions with the same features but lacks integration with many third-party vendors

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. I would also like to see FortiSIEM add more of the features available in FortiSOAR. You need to buy two separate solutions to get these features, but they should all be available in one product.

Reporting is good, monitors well and stable product

The pricing could be cheaper. The initial integration does cost a bit. Jira seems to be making a comeback on the Service Desk side, as well as Zendesk and Freshservice. I know that ServiceNow integration is very easy, like a three- or four-step process. But with the others, you need developers to do API-based integration, which takes longer and requires a different skill set. Even a monkey can follow a four-step process, but API integration can be more complicated here.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."

"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."

"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."

"FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent."

"The seamless integration with FortiGate is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"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."

"Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."

"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."

"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."

"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."

"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."

"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."

"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."

"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."

"Customer support service could be better."

"The support of the product changed recently, and I don't think it's for the better. They should work to improve the support they offer to clients."

"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."

"The solution's technical support didn't help our company a lot."

"It's difficult to integrate unsupported devices with FortiSIEM compared to QRadar. It's easier to integrate and develop processes in QRadar. It's harder to develop a custom process in FortiSIEM."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."

"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."

"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."

"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."

"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."

"The licensing model is confusing."

"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones."

"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."

"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."

"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."

"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
