Systems monitoring enhanced by firewall and intrusion detection features

My primary use case for Fortinet FortiSIEM is systems monitoring and alerting. I use it for standard functions like log monitoring, incident detection, and notification. My customers are mostly medium-sized enterprises ranging from engineering companies, mining companies, independent schools, and…

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

"We're able to get real-timec as well as our customer networks that we're monitoring at all times."

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

"The primary valuable feature is that it has replaced a whole lot of other products with one platform."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to use."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM has its own validated and authentic IP database that marks malicious IP attacks against the firewall and generates an alert for the same."

"I like FortiSIEM because it integrates natively with our other Fortinet solutions and the Fortinet Fabric, but it also integrates with Cisco, Palo Alto and other security fabrics."

"These aspects make Fortinet FortiSIEM a valuable choice."

"Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"It also allows us to predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading."

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

"In terms of network visibility, Statseeker can be very granular. We can tell it exactly where we want it to go and where we want it to check, or it can do an SNMP walk and find out where everything is. It's very detailed."

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

"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."

"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."

"We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all."

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

More Statseeker pros

Cons

"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."

"The interface needs some improvements because it's a bit cumbersome when you're trying to view items. It takes some time to get used to. Additionally, sometimes the scrolling does not work."

"It lacks a "wizard" that shows a particular user's activity or particular circumstance. I think the interface is intimidating because there's so much information there."

"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."

"The log collection and configuration management are not great."

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

"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."

"The built-in APIs in Fortinet FortiSIEM are somewhat lacking and could be improved for better integration with external ITSM products."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

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

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

"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."

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

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

"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."

"It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open."

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

More Statseeker cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."

"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."

"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 is competitive."

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

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."

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

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"It's probably $5K a year for the license."

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

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

"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 paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."

"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
