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 like the integration of all of these Fortinet platforms together. Everything is integrated well, and we are able to sell that as a service to our customers."

"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."

"Technical support is helpful."

"Our customer did not have security monitoring in the first place. With this solution, it provided security posture management and visibility about the security landscape and threats that they had."

"It is used as an alerting platform."

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

"Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses."

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

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

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

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

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

"Key features for us are custom reporting, 95th Percentile, and trend lines."

"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."

"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."

"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."

More Statseeker pros

Cons

"An improvement would be if FortiSIEM's licensing was based on the number of nodes rather than the EPS."

"Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire."

"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."

"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"

"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. It integrates well with other Fortinet products and solutions from established cybersecurity companies like Palo Alto but doesn't integrate with some of the newer vendors."

"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."

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

"The solution needs to do a better job with third party integration. Right now, that's lacking on the solution. I specifically am talking about the AWS environment. Most of the AWS environment products do not have that capability to integrate."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."

"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."

"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."

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

"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."

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

"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."

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

More Statseeker cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM was reasonable compared to other solutions."

"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."

"Please be cheaper and more simplified."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

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

"Statseeker is pretty cheap."

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

"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."
