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…

NetFlow monitoring has improved operations but needs better configurations

For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view. When I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface. When I add the interface, I am confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint. If identifying the interface was easier, it would take less time to configure. Another issue is with threshold values; sometimes, it shows kilobytes (kB) while our threshold is set to gigabytes. This can be confusing. Improving this aspect would be beneficial. In URL monitoring, there is room for enhancement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the user and entity behave as analytics(UEBA). This feature mixes your data and provides useful information based on the behavior of the targeted."

"To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy."

"The most valuable feature is the anomaly-reporting alarms."

"I like the various options, including the option for CMDB and the easier access to create rules, playbooks, or use cases. It's also easier to use for creating dashboards and reports."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."

"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

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

"I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."

"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."

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

"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."

"We have found the solution to be stable."

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

Cons

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

"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."

"An improvement would be if FortiSIEM's licensing was based on the number of nodes rather than the EPS."

"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."

"They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto."

"Sometimes, if there are changes made by a user on a database server, it can be difficult to get that information on the fly. I would like to see a situation where once I specify a user with the database server I need, and with the changes they have performed on that, I don't need to continue my search pattern to drill down just to get the information."

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

"Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"The pricing could be cheaper. The initial integration does cost a bit."

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."

"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."

"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."

"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."

"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."

"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."

"The licensing model is confusing."

More ManageEngine OpManager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."

"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."

"Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."

"They have a yearly subscription."

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight out of ten. Compared with Splunk or Oracle, Fortinet is cheap."

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

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

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."

"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."

"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."

"We had perpetual licenses. The cost was around 36,000 for OPManager, and then you'd have the yearly maintenance fee of 2,000 or 3,000."

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

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

"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
