Reporting features improve operational efficiency while weekend support needs enhancement

Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades. During weekends, they need to provide more support to ensure a smooth transition. There is a call for ManageEngine OpManager to scale better in automation and AI functionality. Although the product stability is good, support enhancement is necessary to enable better planning for upgrades and maintenance activities.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."

"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."

"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."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."

"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"We had perpetual licenses. The cost was around 36,000 for OPManager, and then you'd have the yearly maintenance fee of 2,000 or 3,000."

"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."

"The product is not worth the money."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
