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…

Less false positives, good detection and integration capabilities, and good pricing

The incident response area should be improved. It is more difficult than other products, but overall, it is good. The platform has a lot of options and functionality. So, you need to check almost everything. For new engineers or people who don’t have much experience with this kind of platform, it is a bit difficult, but for experienced engineers, it is not that difficult. When you have been doing a lot of work for about one or two hours, and you have a lot of tabs open, it slows down or gets stuck. There is a delay of 10 to 15 seconds in opening tabs or dashboards. I don't know why this happens, but for me, it is not a big issue. I just wait, and that's all.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"It gives us the opportunity to generate notifications based upon rules that get triggered, and the rules could be specific to PCI, HIPAA, GIBA, NIST, and so forth."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM has its own validated and authentic IP database that marks malicious IP attacks against the firewall and generates an alert for the same."

"The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"The feature that I have found most valuable is their analytics platform where they have the open security data-link, which they introduced. This is typically different from the other vendors."

"The second feature is that within the SNYPR product there is a functionality called Spotter. We use that for link analysis diagrams and to run the stats command. That's extremely useful because it replaces a tedious, manual process we used to use, using Microsoft Excel and a couple of other methods, to bring data together."

"We can select the resource group name or functionality directly of which type of security tool logs we want. We don't need to write the query for that; we just have to select."

"SNYPR has a bundle of features. It has the UEBA feature that tells you about the behavior of a person or entity. In the tool itself, there is an incident management feature, which is definitely valuable."

"I find customer service to be very good."

"One of the valuable features of Securonix is the auto-incident creation, which was not available two or three years ago."

"The feature that is most valuable is the fact that it's an open platform, so it allows us to modify policies and tune policies as needed. There's also a feature called Data Insights which allows us to create different dashboards on specific things of interest for us."

"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

Cons

"Patching is not great - we're not getting the support we'd expect."

"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."

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

"The tool's technical team's response time is too high, and they are not available even when they know that there are many pending issues."

"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."

"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 deployment of the platform took some time to set up and configure."

"They could work on their documentation. If there's anything about the solution that needs improvement, it's that. For example, documentation already is on a very high level but specifically on the CLI there are tons of features which can be fine-tuned and thousands of commands are very difficult to document. If they could make this easier, it would improve the overall solution."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"We would like a little more face-to-face training. Securonix has several tutorials on its website, but we want there to be a person in Colombia who does training or workshops to give us a better understanding of the platform."

"Other than issues with the training, there have been issues with the encryption. There have also been issues with some of the reporting, minor glitches that they have fixed as they've gone along."

"The analytics-driven approach for finding sophisticated threats and reducing false positives is positive and good, but the platform requires a more dynamic concept. Everything is a bit static."

"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."

"A helpful feature would be an event export. A way to create more substantial summary reports would be nice."

"We thought they were going to be a great product, however, they're actually not great at all as an MSP."

"The incident response area should be improved."

"Regarding the analysis of security events on the SOC side, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM needs to improve its automation capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."

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

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

"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."

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

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

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

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

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."

"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."

"A good thing about Securonix is that they don't charge by volume of data or number of devices... They charge by the number of employees, which is a much more predictable number for me, versus data. Our costs are in the $100,000 range over a three-year subscription."

"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. It is a pretty expensive tool."

"Its price is fine. We found it to be cheaper than LogRhythm, Exabeam, Splunk, as well as Elastic Security. A few months ago, when we were comparing Securonix with Elastic Security, we found Securonix to be cheaper than Elasticsearch. We were pretty surprised that Elastic Security is more expensive than Securonix because Elasticsearch is just starting, and it cannot compete with Securonix at this time. So, the pricing of Securonix is pretty good for now."

"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."

"We went in on a three-year agreement which has an annual licensing fee, based upon the number of people that we're monitoring. There have not been any additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"Its pricing is quite similar to others and is very competitive. The other solutions have different types of licensing, but when you do the math, it is competitive."
