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

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

"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."

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

"We like the integration of all of these Fortinet platforms together. Everything is integrated well, and we are able to sell that as a service to our customers."

"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."

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

"Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us."

"The solution is very stable. It's run for years without the need to do anything except, add new patches when they are available, which are always a good idea to install."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"One of the most valuable features is the integration of all types of data sources to extract relevant information regarding events. It is a good solution when it comes to the correlations that it makes within all the data handled in our company."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."

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

"When we were looking for products for our security monitoring needs, our biggest requirement was that we wanted something based on machine-learning and analytics. If you go with rules, it can raise a lot of noise. Securonix, with its UEBA capability, had the best analytics use-cases."

"Risk scoring was nice. We could exactly see which user had the highest risk score, and then we could pick it up and work on it."

"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."

"The detection of threats and reduction of false positive alarms as compared to other solutions are valuable features. It has improved threat detection response and reduced a lot of noise from false positives as compared to our previous SIEM solutions."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

Cons

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

"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."

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

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

"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."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several locations or sites."

"There could be improvements like introducing some solutions directly into FortiSIEM to avoid the need for separately purchasing additional tools like FortiStore."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"In terms of improvements, SIEM could have better integration with other technologies. Additionally, it might benefit from integration with other sources, such as firewalls."

"When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck."

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

"There is room for improvement in the product's integration with ServiceNow and in the reporting features."

"Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's deployment is complex and you need a team to do it."

"It seems to me that within Securonix there is no option for completely visualizing the types of sources or if there is any loss of logs. I've heard that they have an additional module to validate those types of cases, but in terms of the platform itself only, I can only see how often it sends data but not any specific detail."

"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings and needs improvement."

"When they did upgrades or applied patches, sometimes, there was downtime, which required the backfill of data. There were times when we had to reach out and get a lot of things validated."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."

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

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

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

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

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

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."

"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 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."

"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."

"We have a license from our 5.0, so that license just continued. We paid them the extra cloud-hosting costs for a year which were about $300,000."

"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."

"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."

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