Muhammad Kamran Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief information security officer at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees
Improves email filtering and network protection but has limited accessible support and feature discovery
When going for support and asking for support for features, the support team asks to go for professional services, which are not covered in the support agreement. This is the reason exploration of the product features has been limited. To learn or explore something about the product, professional services need to be taken. When creating a ticket for support with configuration features, the support is reluctant to provide that support. This is the reason every feature of Fortinet FortiGuard cannot be explored. Currently Fortinet FortiGuard is working fine with no issues, but newsletters or communications about new features in the product are not being received from Fortinet. This limits knowledge of what new features are available in the product. There is no knowledge about the behavior analytics feature in Fortinet FortiGuard.

Centralized threat intelligence has improved our visibility and accelerated incident response
You can find out new threats and security incidents with SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence. You can see the new vulnerabilities when you are using your products. This is very useful. SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence has improved security in my organization, but there are some problems. Sometimes there are too many alarms, which can become quite tiring. We have a lot of information infrastructures, and SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence has improved our security, but we do experience some alert fatigue. There are a lot of web servers. We also integrated SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence with the SIEM. We can see together, and we can see all of the threats and new threats, especially. If you integrate all internal sources, IP addresses, and services to SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence, you can view all of the sources together in a single monitor and area. You can also view all the tickets and vulnerabilities and threats. This is very useful.

Cons

"When creating a ticket for support with configuration features, the support is reluctant to provide that support."
"The dashboard is an important and integral part of the product that could be improved."
"Currently, for our usage, the areas that have room for improvement are pricing and customization."
"I think that automated response could be improved if they can add automated response features into Fortinet FortiGuard."

"Pricing is a problem as I see it. The credit-based model is extremely expensive."
"However, pricing, interface, customization, AI, and integration could be improved."
"I think the feature about the data source, such as the Telegram channel or breach forums, should be more clear, containing the Telegram channel name or the breach forum name instead of just the link."
"The customer support for SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence is average, as the support team is responsive and knowledgeable, although it takes some time to get responses."
"In terms of improvement for SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence, I think the asset identification procedures could be better, as we receive a lot of false positives related to the specific flags we set."
"The reason I give it an 8.5 is that the standout feature is the fast notification regarding data leakage, but the negative aspect is the lack of customizable reporting."
"Regarding the noise minimization capabilities within the Agentic Phishing workflow, I understand that it lacks an organization-level baseline, and I need the analysis provided from Agentic responses to include a severity level."
"The support quality is inconsistent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the tool's price as a six to seven."
