Systems monitoring enhanced by firewall and intrusion detection features

My primary use case for Fortinet FortiSIEM is systems monitoring and alerting. I use it for standard functions like log monitoring, incident detection, and notification. My customers are mostly medium-sized enterprises ranging from engineering companies, mining companies, independent schools, and…

NetFlow monitoring has improved operations but needs better configurations

For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view. When I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface. When I add the interface, I am confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint. If identifying the interface was easier, it would take less time to configure. Another issue is with threshold values; sometimes, it shows kilobytes (kB) while our threshold is set to gigabytes. This can be confusing. Improving this aspect would be beneficial. In URL monitoring, there is room for enhancement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories."

"The event correlation is pretty robust. The GUI is pretty good."

"We find the solution to be stable."

"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."

"The most valuable feature is the anomaly-reporting alarms."

"It is used as an alerting platform."

"The solution is very stable. It's run for years without the need to do anything except, add new patches when they are available, which are always a good idea to install."

"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"The solution is finely stable."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."

"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."

"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."

"I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."

"The solution is scalable."

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."

Cons

"We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files."

"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"

"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."

"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."

"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."

"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."

"There could be improvements like introducing some solutions directly into FortiSIEM to avoid the need for separately purchasing additional tools like FortiStore."

"The dashboard needs to improve."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

"The dashboard could include more features."

"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."

"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."

"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"

"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."

"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view. When I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface."

"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."

More ManageEngine OpManager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."

"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

"They have a yearly subscription."

"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight out of ten. Compared with Splunk or Oracle, Fortinet is cheap."

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

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

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"The product is not worth the money."

"The solution is highly affordable"

"The price of ManageEngine OpManager is reasonable. We have an annual license and the cost comes from how many devices are being monitored. There is not anything extra cost for maintenance and support."

"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."

"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."

"It is reasonably priced."

"As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
