Fortinet FortiSIEM is reliable and stable, handling updates well, with users rating its performance highly despite occasional bugs.
From a reliability perspective, Anomali consistently injects threat feeds, works on automation, performs reliable API integrations, and supports enterprise scale globally.
Member Of Leadership Advisory Council at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
For example, while Microsoft allows ample time for users to adapt to deprecated features, Anomali only gave us three weeks before switching, so they need to be more cognizant of customer use cases from their engineering side.
Enterprise Security Architect V at FirstEnergy
The good thing is that they have a health check page, and if any issues arise, they notify us.
Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence Incident Response Engineer & Security Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

Room For Improvement

Fortinet FortiSIEM needs improvements in integration, user interface, support, cost, and features like AI and automated responses.
Combining all aliases into a coherent solution would be beneficial, as we had to review each individual source ourselves.

Anomali should increase their capability to fetch details from various dark web solutions where threat actors post compromised credentials.
Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence Incident Response Engineer & Security Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Anomali's ability to correlate and integrate different Threat Intel platforms, such as Mandiant and PolySwarm, is another valuable feature, removing duplicacy and enabling the application of specific IOCs across various security controls.

Network Engineer at Laminar Communications Pty Ltd
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management.

Setup Cost

Anomali pricing is medium to high, with reasonable costs; threat feeds complicate budgeting, typically involving senior staff management.
Fortinet FortiSIEM provides flexible pricing that can be cost-effective, but costs may increase with additional modules and scalability.
Pricing and licensing are good, but the costs for purchasing threat feeds are somewhat complicated and a bit on the higher side.
Associate Consultant at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that there are not many follow-ups, but once we interacted with the product team or the leadership of Anomali, they managed a lot with us, and it all paid off to reach a conclusion that we would continue with this product.
Solution Delivery Advisor at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Setting it up for oneself as an enterprise-licensed product can be quite expensive.

Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence Incident Response Engineer & Security Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Correlating IOCs with the telemetry data we are ingesting from our data sources allows us to pull monthly reports identifying how many assets and users interacted with malicious content, giving insight into whether communications failed or users accessed restricted content, providing complete visibility of the IOCs traveling throughout our environment.
Associate Consultant at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
It aggregates intelligence from hundreds of sources, automatically de-duplicates, applies risk scoring, applies context, and reduces much manual effort.

Strategic threat intelligence has improved detection speed and consistently reduces analyst workload
Anomali can be improved in various aspects. Its AI-driven automation can further advance, and AI-powered investigation summaries can improve. User experience could be enhanced through simplification of workflows. Better board-level cyber risk dashboards could provide easier visualization. Additionally, Anomali could work on simplifying the pricing structure. Although it excels in threat intelligence aggregation and operationalization, stronger GenAI capability, improved executive reporting, and a more intuitive workflow for analysts would further increase SOC efficiency and add more business value. Regarding Anomali's AI capabilities, governance and security are quite good. Anomali has incorporated AI and machine learning primarily to improve correlation and prioritization. These capabilities are valuable but could be more mature. The platform could achieve better threat correlation, prioritization, more anomaly detection, and allow AI to accelerate intelligence analysis while further improving quality and relevance. The accuracy and reliability of Anomali's AI output are fairly reasonable and good. The AI engine works well, but this capability could be improved. Better threat correlation with threat actors, certain indicators of compromise, malware, and campaigns is possible. Threat prioritization could increase, and alert noise could be reduced through further de-duplication. While reasonable, this is not the best available, and other products possibly have more AI maturity, such as Recorded Future and CrowdStrike Falcon.

Comprehensive monitoring boosts security, yet incident management features need expansion
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management. Currently, to manage repetitive incidents or for remediation, I need to use a separate software called FortiSOAR. Additionally, the search functionality in FortiAI should be improved to provide more precise results, making it easier for me to understand what actions need to be taken.
