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…
Shreevinayak Deshpande - PeerSpot reviewer
Makes vulnerability management efficient with a single pane of glass and daily report generation
There are areas for improvement. Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced. An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports. The team might have to work on scaling up servers. When we click on a vulnerability, it takes ten seconds to pop up a window and show the entire content. Instead of that, they can put a down arrow, and all the details should be shown on clicking the arrow. This will prevent that ten-second delay. Another area for improvement is providing support and documentation for their tool. Users should have access to easy-to-understand trial documentation for reference.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate."
"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies."
"The most fascinating aspect of FortiSOAR is its modern and simple to understand and operate dashboards."
"The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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 reputation of the brand is very good."
"I was part of the initial deployment. It was pretty easy. To fully deploy, it took about three or four weeks."
"Vulcan Cyber helps us prioritize the vulnerabilities that are really exploitable and our point of interest for the industry based on the threat intelligence that we get."
"Vulcan Cyber has helped reduce our organization’s mean time to remediation."
"Out of the three solutions I've used, Vulcan Cyber is the superior option."
"The most notable aspects include having prioritization capabilities and custom scripts."
"Now that the solution is onboarded, we are saving a lot of time. We're saving roughly four to ten hours a week."
"Vulcan enables us to automate tickets from multiple scanners. It has lots of analytics options that show us charts and allow us to view the statuses in different waves. The dashboard is nice because it's highly informative about the big picture."
"It is very good when it comes to ingesting information from different sources and then displaying this information in an easy-to-use platform."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be improved."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"FortiSOAR needs to improve the response time for executing playbooks."
"The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices."
"The tool's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
"Mainly, what I would like from them is more maintenance of the different connectors they have in the platform."
"It was a rough year in terms of setup. I had to set it up and onboard it. It was a significant effort from my side at least."
"If there was a way for me to connect to the vendor directly from the application, it would be helpful."
"Monitoring of the evolution of campaigns and perhaps having more customized options for monitoring them would be great."
"Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced."
"We've faced situations where we required support on a Friday, and support wasn't available."
"I would rate the tool between six and seven because there have been instances when the tool was down, and I couldn't access Cyber reports. Additionally, the Vulcan Cyber team made changes to the tool and did not notify us."
"We have the highest privilege in the application, and at least for members with the highest privilege, having the capability to reach out to the vendor directly from the application would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
"Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."
"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."
"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."
"Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."
"Its pricing is quite fair compared to what is out there in the market, especially compared to the tool from Microsoft. It is a SaaS platform that has an annual cost, so it is something that is already used by many companies. It is quite affordable."
