Sentiment score
7.4
Google Chronicle Suite's customer service is generally positive, but some users note delays; recent staffing improvements are acknowledged.
Local tech support is available, however, for more critical or technical issues, we depend on the OEM directly, especially when it comes to on-prem solutions.
There is a knowledgeable, though small, team of support engineers around the world.
They take some time to respond because they need logs and investigations, which delays the response time.
We are a critical project for them at this moment, and they provide excellent service.
They are slow, and the initial responses often require more information rather than providing helpful solutions.
The technical support I’ve received is rated an eight out of ten.

Fortinet FortiSIEM scales well, accommodating different business sizes but faces challenges with licensing, architecture, and configuration complexities.

It stabilizes itself in an appropriate time, so its uptime is good.
These issues may cause unusual errors and user interface issues.
Some stability issues occur, but Fortinet's technical support team provides assistance.
I rate the stability of Google Chronicle Suite as a nine, as I have not encountered any stability issues.
 

Room For Improvement

Fortinet FortiSIEM needs improvements in integration, user interface, support, cost, and features like AI and automated responses.
Google Chronicle Suite requires user-friendly enhancements in dashboard, API integration, log management, alerting, and threat intelligence features.
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management.
Enhancing the completeness of its APIs could aid in better external integrations.
Recently, they revised it to a subscription-based, all-inclusive license.
The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience.
Google Chronicle Suite lacks near time detection.
The UI is the primary challenge in need of improvement.
 

Setup Cost

Fortinet FortiSIEM provides flexible pricing that can be cost-effective, but costs may increase with additional modules and scalability.
Google Chronicle offers flexible, competitive pricing but can become costly for larger businesses with additional platforms.
Setting it up for oneself as an enterprise-licensed product can be quite expensive.
Windows agent licenses cost around 3,000 Rupees per device per year.
The revised model is subscription-based and more flexible.
It's neither expensive nor cheap, and I believe it is a justified price for the features offered.
Compared to a SIEM like Microsoft Sentinel, it is much more affordable.
The cost depends on the amount of data injected.
 

Valuable Features

Fortinet FortiSIEM provides automation, analytics, and integration with a user-friendly interface for efficient threat detection and network monitoring.
Google Chronicle Suite excels in threat response, seamless integration, automation, and cost-effective data management for audits and compliance.
I find the real-time monitoring and correlation capabilities effective for security alerts.
It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security.
The threat intelligence, especially continuous IOC feeds, is a standout feature.
They also combine their source solution into one product, allowing for out-of-the-box playbook creation and incident response.
It is also cost-effective, charged based on use per second rather than data volume.

Harnesses anomaly detection and automated response for efficient threat management
I really appreciate the anomaly detection and machine learning capabilities that identify unusual patterns without needing signatures. The automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses.
