Offers great flexibility and has an easy initial setup phase
The tool is a double-edged sword. From my perspective, Fortinet FortiSOAR's engineering side is very flexible. Whatever my customer requests, Fortinet FortiSOAR is capable of providing that. In terms of the learning curve on how to play with Fortinet FortiSOAR, it becomes very difficult. The learning curve is very high. Though the tool offers high flexibility, it is very hard to get what you want. I learned to use the tool by myself. I do not see myself as a very well competent person with the product. Right now, I rely a lot on my principal engineer to deal with the development part. For the future, I can't see any areas in the tool where I can suggest improvement since the product is already very flexible. The product is able to deliver my customers' requests. Fortinet FortiSOAR is very user-friendly for the end users. Things can get very difficult for the engineering or developer side. The product can redesign the interface to develop the playbook and all of the data on all of the components. The tool's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are needed.

Great for reporting and ticketing for SOC MxDR client environments and has a great, supportive community
There are so many incredible features in the Chronicle SOAR platform that it's difficult to narrow down the list, however, if I had to choose, I would say that the most valuable features are the playbook builder and the integrations. The playbook builder allows us to establish workflows for the various case types that our analysts encounter within the SOC. These can be as granular or as high level as they need to be depending upon our business objectives and alert priorities. In turn, the tremendous number of integrations in the marketplace and the IDE (to custom-develop new integrations) are what make the playbooks as powerful as they are. Together, the integrations and playbooks make it simple to integrate powerful new capabilities and workflows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"The good news is that FortiSOAR is not hard to maintain. If you prepared well and deployed strong initially, then maintenance will take half an hour every other week, not more than that. A single person can do it."
"The solution's most valuable feature is playbook creation, which allows us to integrate all data ingestion into the same platform."
"Generally, the tool helps just automating a lot of manual load or repetitive tasks."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors."
"Without hyperbole, I have never, in my entire career, encountered a vendor or a vendor community as awesome as Siemplify. Siemplify and the Siemplify Community quite literally made it possible for our SOC to increase almost five-fold in our number of clients and number of analysts and to go from a Monday to Friday 9-5 shop to a 24/7 shop all in the span of under a year and a half and all while continually adding capabilities and improving the services we offer to our clients."
"The most valuable feature of Siemplify is the playbooks that can be created."
"The playbooks feature in Siemplify is crucial for automation. We've utilized both standard and custom integrations with other security operation solutions, enhancing our flexibility. The user interface is generally straightforward, although recent changes may require some adjustment and Siemplify's integrations and capabilities offer potential support for various compliance requirements."
 

Cons

"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."
"The tool's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"I don't currently see where the solution is lacking features. For us and for our clients it works very well and we're pleased with it."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"I'm inclined to say that I'd love to see some Machine Learning capabilities integrated into the platform, however, I just attended a demo this morning where Siemplify gave a sneak peek into some Machine Learning capabilities that they are currently developing and have roadmapped for release soon."
"Building the playbooks could be easier and the integration could improve. It is a difficult process, such as what API connections need to be made."
"We often encounter minor issues that could be improved, but we maintain communication with the developers and submit feature requests. Recently, I requested enhancements such as improved search functionality within playbooks and expanded options for exporting case data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."
"If you compare Fortinet FortiSOAR's price with the prices of the market leader, Palo Alto, then it can be considered a cheaper product."
"The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
"The price of the product should be lower. The brand value that Fortinet has, it has the reputation of being a reasonably priced product, and they have an enormous customer base in India. Most of the SME market is covered by FortiGate firewalls. It becomes an easy way for consultants, such as us, or even system integrators, to open the door with the Fortinet product lines."
"Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
