It's cheaper than other solutions with the same features but lacks integration with many third-party vendors
FortiSIEM needs to expand its integration with third-party vendors. I don't know if Forcepoint has been added, but there were limited resources for integrating Forcepoint solutions when we implemented FortiSIEM.
