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

I am part of the team that implements the solution, and we hand it over to the operations team. We use FortiSIEM to ingest logs. The customer provides us with the IPs for the log sources, and we add them to the FortiSIEM dashboard. We can check the logs for signs of malicious access from outside…

Reporting is good, monitors well and stable product

We manage a client's network. We put all applications/devices into ManageEngine OpManager. This allows us to manage everything from a single interface. It's not just about endpoint devices; it also improves switches and servers. For example, if we have the same switches across our organization, we…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We find the solution to be stable."

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

"FortiSIEM helped us discover all the threats at the time that were attacking the IT services of the company. We now have multiple-level authentication."

"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 Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."

"One of the most valuable features is that we can combine SOC and NOC operations in the same tool. We can provide NOC and SOC services in the same tool for two separate teams. There are plenty of third-party solutions that integrate with FortiSIEM. All these solutions already have a ready integration, and we have the possibility to create a custom connector for these solutions. Its reports are also very good."

"It's a very nice solution to work with."

"FortiSIEM sends an email or SMS notifications to admins when there are significant incidents. It's a highly efficient way of responding to incidents."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."

"The product provides intensive reports."

"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."

"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."

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

"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."

"You can put all of your work on there, they'll send you an email or send you a text. That functionality as a network engineer is the one I like the most. I do like the fact that we can schedule reports. That works too because that's a lot fewer spreadsheets that I have to create."

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

Cons

"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."

"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."

"Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire."

"The policy editing should be easier. Right now, it's too hard."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having better integration and extensions. This would benefit by allowing us to give more rules."

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

"The product does not have Security Orchestration and Automation Response, I would recommend adding this feature."

"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."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"We get a lot of false alerts."

"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."

"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."

"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 two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."

"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."

"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

"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."

"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."

"Please be cheaper and more simplified."

"The price is competitive."

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

"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."

"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM was reasonable compared to other solutions."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."

"It is reasonably priced."

"The solution is highly affordable"
