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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"It works well with medium to large-scale enterprises."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."
"Our customer did not have security monitoring in the first place. With this solution, it provided security posture management and visibility about the security landscape and threats that they had."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform notifies only genuine alerts. It offers plenty of options that are suitable for MSPs."
"It offers a holistic approach with multiple solutions blended into one platform."
"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."
"It is effective because it has threat intelligence from across the world and constantly checks and updates for new threats."
"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."
"I like that it's an AI-based platform. The most valuable feature is that it's a comprehensive solution. Most tools in the marketplace are comprised of miscellaneous items. They fail to provide real-time remediation features. However, with Seceon Open Threat Management Platform, anything you can think of in cybersecurity, like auto-remediation, real-time response, and even on-premise components, is available in a single platform. So, it's perfect for finance and healthcare who don't want to share their data with a third party like the cloud. You can have this on-premise as well. So, the expenditure will be lower as less human intervention is required."
"We only recently started using Seceon, so we aren't taking advantage of all its features yet. We have enabled some proactive alerts about utilization and bottlenecks from high traffic."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its artificial intelligence."
 

Cons

"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
"It's difficult to integrate unsupported devices with FortiSIEM compared to QRadar. It's easier to integrate and develop processes in QRadar. It's harder to develop a custom process in FortiSIEM."
"The log collection and configuration management are not great."
"The solution needs to do a better job with third party integration. Right now, that's lacking on the solution. I specifically am talking about the AWS environment. Most of the AWS environment products do not have that capability to integrate."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"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."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."
"It is a standalone solution now. They need to make it into a cloud-based subscription model. It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions. It can also have more threats and deeper integration with Microsoft."
"The product should improve the triggering rate."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform sells some add-ons as part of the whole suite but not individually. If they sold them individually, they could potentially attract more business."
"It would be better if they offered global coverage."
"The dashboard has always been an issue."
"For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial."
"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."
"We are at the client’s end, offering services. They don’t know about security rules and benchmarks. We are working on the discovery and remediation but we don’t really have the intelligence that was available while working with other tools. Human working is also very essential for the solution. The automatic session is impossible to play since it needs to touch Redfin for further analysis. No one has breached our clients."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."
"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
"They have a yearly subscription."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."
"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."
"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."
