Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue

Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

"It's a very nice solution to work with."

Cons

"Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update."

"Network detection and response is a separate product."

"Does not have load-sharing or high-availability, and these are important things to implement. I can do the same things in another way, but not naturally having these features makes it complicated."

"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."

"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The graphs on the user interface could be improved as we often experience glitches."

"There could be more AI features included in the product."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"Support could improve to make the solution better."

"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity."

"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."

"I would like to see more detailed reports."

"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users."

"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."

"The scalability is limited."

"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
