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

"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."
"It's easy to manage. There's a web interface and a command line, depending on what the user is comfortable with. There's a large knowledge base available, and the support is timely."
"In large-sized medium-sized and a small-sized organizations, it improves the ability to quickly drill down into events that occur, perform analysis, and find root cause."
"Technical support is very good. The people in support are excellent, and they know this product in and out."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate."
"It detects new technologies, vulnerabilities, and emerging threats on the internet."
"FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent."
"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

"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."
"The built-in APIs in Fortinet FortiSIEM are somewhat lacking and could be improved for better integration with external ITSM products."
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement. I would like to see a database with more structure in terms of maintenance and ease of use."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"The dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much."
"Ease-of-use for end users that do not spend every day in the product. Also, the presentation of historical and trending data in dashboards needs to be improved immensely."
"It lacks a "wizard" that shows a particular user's activity or particular circumstance. I think the interface is intimidating because there's so much information there."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
"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."
"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."
"Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."
