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…

Great documentation, good technical support, and very in-depth
The initial setup can be complex. I would advise users to leverage all of the access with Palo Alto, in terms of setting up with the technical account management teams. They need to ensure that what they have in mind for the product is actually going to be what happens. I have not run into any problems with deploying the product. Any of their security products are well-documented, either with open source intelligence or the documentation from Palo Alto. We had a client with less than a thousand users that received a dedicated engineer and a technical account manager that was able to walk them through the first 90 days of ownership. The support is certainly there.

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."
"It has a quick detection and response time."
"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 initial setup is straightforward."
"The product can be automated for network security purposes. The solution offers a great security automation response."
"Generally, the tool helps just automating a lot of manual load or repetitive tasks."
"We use the product for security."

Cons

"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."

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."
