Featured Reviews

Muhammad Hassaan Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Engineer at Commtel
Has improved threat visibility and simplified operations but needs better integration with other platforms
The only feature I would recommend for Fortinet FortiRecon is smoother integration with third-party SIEM and SOAR platforms. For instance, we use IBM QRadar and it would be ideal if FortiRecon’s threat intelligence findings could be pushed directly into QRadar rather than requiring manual exports or custom API setups Cross-platform integration should be made easier. While FortiRecon provides useful threat intelligence, getting this data into other SIEMs like IBM QRadar or open-source platforms like Wazuh often requires custom API work or manual steps. Fortinet tends to keep things within its own ecosystem, which makes third-party integration more challenging. On the positive side, FortiRecon has one of the easiest GUIs compared to other competitors, making it straightforward to navigate findings and alerts.
Roy - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Specialty at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
Great at showcasing vulnerabilities, excellent at providing alerts, and offers very good technical support
You need to know how to work with your assets and put the right items in place. The solution still has false positives, The solution is pretty expensive :O) We did have a few bugs in the beginning, when we first used the solution. However, those have since been resolved. I would like it if there was more visibility and insights about what's going on with ransomware all over the internet. IntSights is not 100% following the critical ransomware and the critical items over the internet. However, everyone is afraid to get hit by ransomware. They are not there yet in terms of really covering that style of attack. I'd like to see more from them.
