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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the anomaly-reporting alarms."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."
"The most valuable features for us are the built-in reports and alerts, along with the extreme flexibility in reporting and rule generation."
"The solution is very stable. It's run for years without the need to do anything except, add new patches when they are available, which are always a good idea to install."
"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"The integration is very useful and very easy. You can have an API connection with any cloud and I'll be able to do both ways of communication with the help of APA."
"It is kind of simple and very easily deployable. You can start working with it very fast."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"We have started working with various customers, one of whom is particularly concerned about adjacency. We have identified several use cases where automation is possible."
"As far as its core functionality goes, it’s spot-on."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"The product offers very strong automation. Our cyber security analysts don't have to correlate the information to detect problems. They only need to analyze problems that have been identified by the platform."
 

Cons

"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"
"The support of the product changed recently, and I don't think it's for the better. They should work to improve the support they offer to clients."
"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 tool's technical team's response time is too high, and they are not available even when they know that there are many pending issues."
"We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction."
"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"Sometimes the rules are disabled by FireEye, and we basically get it after the patch. I think there needs to be a better way of creating the application rules. I would like to see better pricing for our licensing."
"Trellix needs to address the price for the product to be more appealing to customers."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."
"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."
"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."

"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"The price could be better. But I think it's rightly placed when we buy everything in one shot, and we get some discount for that. That's how we basically plan our deployment, and it's holistic. We pay for the license yearly."
