Comprehensive monitoring boosts security, yet incident management features need expansion

Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management. Currently, to manage repetitive incidents or for remediation, I need to use a separate software called FortiSOAR. Additionally, the search functionality in FortiAI should be improved to provide more precise results, making it easier for me to understand what actions need to be taken.

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices

One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is that we can combine SOC and NOC operations in the same tool. We can provide NOC and SOC services in the same tool for two separate teams. There are plenty of third-party solutions that integrate with FortiSIEM. All these solutions already have a ready integration, and we have the possibility to create a custom connector for these solutions. Its reports are also very good."

"The advanced agents used to collect logs have been most valuable. We have also made use of the advanced intelligence this solution offers."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to view all the network events on a single pane and find the point of contact or point of the incident."

"It detects new technologies, vulnerabilities, and emerging threats on the internet."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."

"It works well with medium to large-scale enterprises."

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

"There are things like dashboards and reports (pre-configured and custom) that let me know that things are operating the way they should be, and when they are not."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."

"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."

"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."

"I like the fact that I can aggregate multiple interfaces into a single graph. It allows me to quickly the summary of traffic for multiple devices which is helpful."

"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."

"We're able to recover more expensive ports on our access line devices."

"The graphics and trends are the most valuable for us."

"The monitoring provided by this solution helps us to track down and solve issues."

More Statseeker pros

Cons

"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."

"Network detection and response is a separate product."

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

"FortiSIEM is a bit resource-hungry, so work should be done on hardware resource utilization to consume less hardware."

"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."

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

"Improvements include making it easier for users to create their normalizers. Fortinet FortiSIEM uses XML for normalizing and parsing, which can be tedious and time-consuming. A simpler way of using regex could be helpful."

"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."

"I'd say the interface could improve a little bit. I find with new users, I tend to have to spend a bit of time walking them through how to use the interface. It could be a little more user friendly."

"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."

"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."

"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."

"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."

"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."

"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."

More Statseeker cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

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

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight out of ten. Compared with Splunk or Oracle, Fortinet is cheap."

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

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

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."

"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."

"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."

"We now feel the pricing is a good value. Previously we had a just a normal license but now we've got an Enterprise license. Since the Enterprise, it's been a lot better value. We did think it was pretty expensive before, but with the Enterprise license it's almost less than half that price. If you have a number of accounts within the organization that use Statseeker, I would suggest get the Enterprise license."

"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."

"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."

"We have permanent licenses so there's really no cost, other than ongoing maintenance. When I think about it, that's running us about $20,000 a year."

"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
