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.

Real-time monitoring and analytics are very easy and fast and very easy to use
The alerting and real-time analytics helped the security team. They are using a Hadoop database, so real-time monitoring and analytics are very easy and fast. Queries return results quickly and in very small time. It has full automation and automated SIEM responses. We are currently only testing Logsign, but in a few months, we plan to integrate our servers, routers, firewalls, and endpoints into our company's Logsign instance. Then, we can manage everything using Logsign.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to view all the network events on a single pane and find the point of contact or point of the incident."
"The primary valuable feature is that it has replaced a whole lot of other products with one platform."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to use."
"FortiSIEM's stability is quite good."
"Analytics is the most valuable feature, and the business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."
"The solution has an all-in-one approach, where we buy one product and everything our customer needs is included, without additional licenses for more functionality, and any adjustments are done very quickly and easily."
"FortiSIEM's best features are the dashboards and customization."
"Logsign provides sample logs within the product, allowing users to see how logs will appear before integration, which is a valuable feature for testing and understanding log formats."
"The most valuable features of Logsign SIEM are its cloud capabilities, alerting functionality, integration with Elastic Search, and configuration options."
"It has full automation and automated SIEM responses."
 

Cons

"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration. They need to improve the documentation library."
"They could work on their documentation. If there's anything about the solution that needs improvement, it's that. For example, documentation already is on a very high level but specifically on the CLI there are tons of features which can be fine-tuned and thousands of commands are very difficult to document. If they could make this easier, it would improve the overall solution."
"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."
"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."
"The initial setup is complex. They need to make it easier in terms of implementation."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several locations or sites."
"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"Improvements needed in Logsign SIEM are providing specific security alerts that can be filtered and configured more effectively."
"AI and machine learning need to be developed. If they develop those features, I think everything will be fine."
"I hope they address the pricing model for Logsign Next-Gen SIEM, especially regarding regional variations. The pricing should not differ based on the country of operation as it can lead to dissatisfaction among customers. A fixed pricing structure would be more favorable for us. I would also suggest enhancing the GUI interface and adding features similar to xFi Exchange from IBM Pure. This would streamline operations and save time for analysts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"The price is competitive."
"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"Compared to other SIEMs, it has low pricing."
