Inexpensive while enhancing security operations with intuitive automation tools
Usually, FortiSOAR is used for some of our security operation tasks where it is necessary to ascertain the integrity of threat vectors and then take action against them. In addition, we automate other processes within our security operations procedure through FortiSOAR FortiSOAR is really…
CR
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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors."
"It has a quick detection and response time."
"The product can be automated for network security purposes. The solution offers a great security automation response."

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."
"The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate."
"FortiSOAR needs to improve the response time for executing playbooks."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"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

"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
"Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."
"The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
"If you compare Fortinet FortiSOAR's price with the prices of the market leader, Palo Alto, then it can be considered a cheaper product."
"Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
