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…

Simplifies monitoring and provides real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise

The product has improved our organization by simplifying monitoring and giving real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise. If we notice five devices with latency or errors, I wouldn't know that if I didn't command line into 800 devices and check every day. I can see the status on the dashboard and it just makes it easy to know where the problems are. If we didn't have that capability by using Statseeker, then it would be very complex to monitor. We'd need to have another tool or manually log into every device to try to check things. And this product just does it all for us. That streamlines and improves our workload so that we only need to have two people in our office for the network team. It improves availability. If a circuit goes down texts and email alerts get sent out. So, even if it's in the evening or we're not on premises, we'll know if something's down. We use it all the time because it really helps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution’s IP database is awesome."

"It's easy to manage. There's a web interface and a command line, depending on what the user is comfortable with. There's a large knowledge base available, and the support is timely."

"Analytics. It can provide log information from the device. With log information, I can see if there is a threat"

"FortiSIEM provides a single PIN to monitor SOC and NOC. It's a nice tool for integration and monitoring. It provides multiple categories for monitoring based on security designations like low, medium, and high."

"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."

"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."

"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."

"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"The most valuable feature is alerting."

"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."

"The solution reduces the complexity of our network monitoring because it can make my engineers do their jobs faster. The solution also reduces troubleshooting time for network administrators to pinpoint issues quicker."

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

"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."

"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."

"The most important feature is just the fact that it doesn't aggregate the information up, and I can look at detailed information going back quite a long time."

"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."

More Statseeker pros

Cons

"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."

"It would be good if the solution offered even more configuration options, especially in relation to the VPN so that it continues to be a very flexible option."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"The dashboard needs to improve."

"The dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."

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

"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."

"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."

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

"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."

"Configuration management: In configuration management it would be helpful if it would backup configuration files (running and start-up configuration) for devices. (Not sure if this is already available in the latest version)."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."

"They have a yearly subscription."

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

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

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

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

"The price is competitive."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

"Statseeker is pretty cheap."

"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."

"Up until we actually talked to Statseeker, and Statseeker came and gave us an enterprise licensing model for multiple accounts, I would have said the pricing was not good value. The fact they've come to the party now and given us a very good discount, I would say it's probably about right, the pricing they're giving us now. But the retail pricing, if I went out and, as a separate company, and asked for pricing for one account, I probably would say their retail pricing is not competitive. The fact that they've given us a discount now because we have multiple servers across multiple accounts, I would say that pricing is about right, but not their retail pricing. It's too expensive."

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

"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."
