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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is auto-discovery. When you send logs from any device to port 514, it helps register those devices automatically."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM's most valuable feature is the simplicity in handling multi-tenancy and the ability to switch between different clients at the same time. That was handled flawlessly."
"FortiSIEM allows you to match IPs with threat intelligence feeds from sources like Kaspersky or Anomali, adding valuable context."
"The most valuable features of the solution is its integration with other technologies, especially its ability to collect logs from Cisco and Aruba devices along with Fortinet products."
"Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us."
"Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories."
"It detects new technologies, vulnerabilities, and emerging threats on the internet."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
 

Cons

"Not very good on non-API features, lacks that functionality."
"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."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."
"The challenge I face with Fortinet FortiSIEM is the lack of support."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
"Customer support service could be better."
"With FortiSIEM, the issue has to do with the ways we can generate a report. It's not as flexible compared to that with other SIEM tools, like Splunk."
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."
"This is probably more on the lower cost end of the spectrum compared to competing products. Fortinet's license model is based on events per second, which makes sense, but that's not typical. It makes it very hard to calculate what your costs are going to be as you scale the platform because some log sources, such as firewall logs, are very noisy, and there are lots and lots of events per second, but some of them are not. So, it becomes a bit of a science experiment trying to guess what your costs are going to be as you scale the solution. This is where other competing products perhaps have a more straightforward license model."
"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
