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…

The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.

We use Securonix Next-Gen SIEM primarily for managed SOC, focusing on threat detection, baselining, and ensuring the maturity of our SOC security operations. It is integrated with threat intelligence and utilizes frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain. The solution helps in threat…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"AccelOps can handle a lot of data and it's just so important to true monitoring. Also, I can create a lot of rules to detect anything I like."

"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."

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

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

"The solution’s IP database is awesome."

"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"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 ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation."

"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."

"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."

"Its console is very easy to use and configure. It is very intuitive for our use cases. App integrations are also pretty nice."

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

"I was looking for software as a service rather than having issues with managing hardware, upgrades, updates. I was trying to step away from that. Those were the key factors when looking at Securonix as a full-feature SIEM with next-generation capabilities available."

"What I like most is that the threat models and risk scoring are very accurate and very helpful to the analysts on my team. They help highlight the most important things for them to look at."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

Cons

"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."

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

"The process of installing Fortinet FortiSIEM and the customization of the alerts take too long."

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

"It's difficult to integrate unsupported devices with FortiSIEM compared to QRadar. It's easier to integrate and develop processes in QRadar. It's harder to develop a custom process in FortiSIEM."

"Does not have load-sharing or high-availability, and these are important things to implement. I can do the same things in another way, but not naturally having these features makes it complicated."

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

"The UI could improve in Fortinet FortiSIEM. Humans view the UI frequently for data and if it was more visually pleasing it would be beneficial."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."

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

"There is slight room for improvement in terms of the initial deployment. What I see is that Securonix is more focused on their product. They are expanding, in a big way, the number of customers. So there has to be a number of dedicated teams to jump on and speed up the deployment process."

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

"The solution could provide more automation."

"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."

"The pricing. I'm not sure how they are proceeding with the identity based pricing compared with DB pricing which most of the vendors are using today."

"Securonix implements risk scores based on different policies that are triggered. We've seen some challenges with the risk scores and how they trigger. These are things that Securonix has recognized and they've been working with us to help improve things."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

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

"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."

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

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

"Please be cheaper and more simplified."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"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 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."

"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."

"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."

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

"The solution's price is double the competitors."

"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."

"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."
