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.

Simple deployment with good reports and dashboard
In terms of what could be improved, there are a lot of things identified and there is a lot of continuous improvement. A lot of the things are of a short time frame and a lot are way out. There was a tuning process but nothing specifically to call out. As for what could be included in the next release, we are working on the basic feature set. There are probably some things that, as we move through it, we'll come across that are deficient but right now we are not that far along to know. I don't want to say that they could not do certain advancement. For example, there are some automated network response portions that we want to turn up, but we're not ready for that. I don't even know what the capabilities are there, but that's something that, probably in the next 24 months, we will move forward on.

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"We use the product for security."
"The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Generally, the tool helps just automating a lot of manual load or repetitive tasks."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that the search capabilities are easy to use. The dashboards are good. The reports are good. It is just simple from a deployment standpoint - that was easy."
 

Cons

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."
"The solution lacks proper documentation, so we have to test and trial each playbook and integration."
"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."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
"The tool's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
"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 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 an expensive solution."
