The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.

The most valuable feature of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is its advance analytics, flexibility and scalability. We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation. This makes it a robust and cost-effective solution for our needs. Its user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) are also integral for detecting insider threats and lateral movements within the organization. These features help organizations strengthen their security posture, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with strict regulatory requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to view all the network events on a single pane and find the point of contact or point of the incident."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to use."

"The solution is easy to use and user-friendly."

"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."

"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is highly scalable. I would rate its scalability nine out of ten."

"FortiSIEM helped us discover all the threats at the time that were attacking the IT services of the company. We now have multiple-level authentication."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."

"The scalability is one of the remarkable qualities of this product, which makes it very effective, especially when we are dealing with substantial data volumes in the cloud."

"The software includes user behavior interactions, dashboards, and training capabilities."

"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."

"What I like most is that the threat models and risk scoring are very accurate and very helpful to the analysts on my team. They help highlight the most important things for them to look at."

"The user interface is easy to learn and navigate."

"The solution's AI features reduce the need for manual analysis and help in decision-making. It displays the report in seconds. It saves my resources three to four hours of work."

"The two major features of this product we extensively use are the UEBA capability and the multi-tenant approach with the centralized data logs system. Customers are very happy with these features."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

Cons

"Not very good on non-API features, lacks that functionality."

"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."

"The product does not have Security Orchestration and Automation Response, I would recommend adding this feature."

"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."

"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."

"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."

"Network detection and response is a separate product."

"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"We have compliance needs. We have investigation needs. And we have situations where an analyst needs to look at threats. These three things require a different view of how they look at the threats. What would be good is to have Securonix create three different views of their Security Command Center so that, depending on the persona of the person logging in, they'd get the relevant data they need and not see everything."

"The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth, which is an area that needs improvement."

"It could be improved a little bit more for admin users. There should be more administrative options related to security for admin users. For example, for forensic purposes, the admin should be able to stop a specific user from erasing some information. I would be helpful in certain situations, such as during an internal fraud."

"Other than issues with the training, there have been issues with the encryption. There have also been issues with some of the reporting, minor glitches that they have fixed as they've gone along."

"We would like to see better integration with other products."

"Securonix implements risk scores based on different policies that are triggered. We've seen some challenges with the risk scores and how they trigger. These are things that Securonix has recognized and they've been working with us to help improve things."

"SIEM could have better integration with other technologies."

"Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's deployment is complex and you need a team to do it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."

"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."

"Please be cheaper and more simplified."

"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."

"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"We went in on a three-year agreement which has an annual licensing fee, based upon the number of people that we're monitoring. There have not been any additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."

"The solution's price is double the competitors."

"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."

"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."

"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."

"Its price is fine. We found it to be cheaper than LogRhythm, Exabeam, Splunk, as well as Elastic Security. A few months ago, when we were comparing Securonix with Elastic Security, we found Securonix to be cheaper than Elasticsearch. We were pretty surprised that Elastic Security is more expensive than Securonix because Elasticsearch is just starting, and it cannot compete with Securonix at this time. So, the pricing of Securonix is pretty good for now."

"A good thing about Securonix is that they don't charge by volume of data or number of devices... They charge by the number of employees, which is a much more predictable number for me, versus data. Our costs are in the $100,000 range over a three-year subscription."
