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.

I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We only evaluated this solution and loved the capabilities that it offers."
"The pricing is very, very affordable; for the value you get, I think it’s about the cheapest solution on the market."
"The tool's most valuable feature stems from the fact that I can see a complete analysis, like all the incidents that have happened, and it detects everything in real-time."
"AccelOps gives us a greater visibility into potential data/network breach attempts with the monitoring and alerting capabilities."
"This is a very stable product - we have never had a crash with it."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to use."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
 

Cons

"I would like to see easier implementation in the future."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction."
"One of the things that actually opened a ticket about (and they couldn’t help me) is when traffic is leaving our network, it’ll only report the source."
"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
"The initial setup is complex. They need to make it easier in terms of implementation."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"There could be improvements like introducing some solutions directly into FortiSIEM to avoid the need for separately purchasing additional tools like FortiStore."
"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."
"This is probably more on the lower cost end of the spectrum compared to competing products. Fortinet's license model is based on events per second, which makes sense, but that's not typical. It makes it very hard to calculate what your costs are going to be as you scale the platform because some log sources, such as firewall logs, are very noisy, and there are lots and lots of events per second, but some of them are not. So, it becomes a bit of a science experiment trying to guess what your costs are going to be as you scale the solution. This is where other competing products perhaps have a more straightforward license model."
"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."
"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product. The free version license of the product is available for two months."
"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
