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…

Simple deployment, scalable, but lacking third-party solution compatibility
Integrating IBM Resilient with other applications can be very difficult and technically challenging. Often, they use the excuse that you are using the latest version of an application, such as an endpoint security system, and they don't have an API or support for it at the moment. There is no automation in the SOAR solution. It's worth noting that many third-party add-on applications needed to be purchased separately to integrate with IBM Resilient. While there were built-in applications available for incident remediation, the selection was limited. Additionally, integrating third-party applications was often a difficult and time-consuming process due to the technical complexity involved.

You don't need to worry much about integrations and components because you're working with tested and proven architecture."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"As a whole, the product is stable...Technical support is very good."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable."
"The solution is reliable in our usage."
 

Cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"If you compare Fortinet FortiSOAR's price with the prices of the market leader, Palo Alto, then it can be considered a cheaper product."
"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
"Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
"The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
"Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."
"The licensing cost for IBM Resilient is not too expensive, but it's not affordable, so it's moderately expensive. Regarding price, I'm rating the solution seven out of ten. The company pays for the license yearly, based on the number of users. Apart from the cost of the license you need to pay for each user, you also need to spend an initial investment for the base platform. You also have to pay for IBM Resilient support."
"Pricing for the solution is good, in my opinion."
"There is a license you need to pay for in order to use this product."
"The cost of the product is quite high."
"We could create unlimited users using the license we had purchased."
"There are no costs except for the support services that our company pays in addition to the licensing charges attached to the solution."
"It is very expensive."
"I feel it is an expensive product when my company pays annually for renewal, support, and follow-up."
