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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a very stable product - we have never had a crash with it."
"We're able to get real-timec as well as our customer networks that we're monitoring at all times."
"The solution’s IP database is awesome."
"I like FortiSIEM because it integrates natively with our other Fortinet solutions and the Fortinet Fabric, but it also integrates with Cisco, Palo Alto and other security fabrics."
"It gives greater visibility via the dashboards into the real-time status of the network and also provides specific alerts and performance monitoring."
"These aspects make Fortinet FortiSIEM a valuable choice."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. CMDB database collects data from a lot of pre-configured devices."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
 

Cons

"Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire."
"The tool's technical team's response time is too high, and they are not available even when they know that there are many pending issues."
"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 initial setup is complex. They need to make it easier in terms of implementation."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"When compared with some competitors, in terms of performance, the CPU and RAM requirements and the capability of coordination with development all need some improvement."
"We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction."
"For example, the design is bad because you have one supervisor on one machine and you handle everything off this machine supervisor."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."
"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
