Less false positives, good detection and integration capabilities, and good pricing

The incident response area should be improved. It is more difficult than other products, but overall, it is good. The platform has a lot of options and functionality. So, you need to check almost everything. For new engineers or people who don’t have much experience with this kind of platform, it is a bit difficult, but for experienced engineers, it is not that difficult. When you have been doing a lot of work for about one or two hours, and you have a lot of tabs open, it slows down or gets stuck. There is a delay of 10 to 15 seconds in opening tabs or dashboards. I don't know why this happens, but for me, it is not a big issue. I just wait, and that's all.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."

"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."

"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."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

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

"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."

"FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent."

"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."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

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

"One of the valuable features of Securonix is the auto-incident creation, which was not available two or three years ago."

"The feature that is most valuable is the fact that it's an open platform, so it allows us to modify policies and tune policies as needed. There's also a feature called Data Insights which allows us to create different dashboards on specific things of interest for us."

"The solution is stable and scalable."

"We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation."

"I rate the technical support a nine out of ten. They're friendly. Whenever we have a P1 issue, we write an email and our issue is resolved in one or two hours."

"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 most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

Cons

"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."

"The interface needs some improvements because it's a bit cumbersome when you're trying to view items. It takes some time to get used to. Additionally, sometimes the scrolling does not work."

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

"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."

"They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto."

"FortiSIEM is a bit resource-hungry, so work should be done on hardware resource utilization to consume less hardware."

"Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time."

"The graphs on the user interface could be improved as we often experience glitches."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck."

"In terms of improvements, SIEM could have better integration with other technologies. Additionally, it might benefit from integration with other sources, such as firewalls."

"Regarding the analysis of security events on the SOC side, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM needs to improve its automation capabilities."

"Sometimes, there is instability in the data in terms of the customization of the time. I have sometimes observed discrepancies in the data, which is something they should work on. They should bring more stability to time customization. If we are seeing a particular data, when we change the time zone, there should be the same data. There should not be any discrepancy."

"There is slight room for improvement in terms of the initial deployment. What I see is that Securonix is more focused on their product. They are expanding, in a big way, the number of customers. So there has to be a number of dedicated teams to jump on and speed up the deployment process."

"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."

"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."

"We have a lot of users who, because they're engineers and they're bringing down product data - where, at times, a top-level product could be 10,000 or 15,000 objects - it's difficult for us to determine what should be a concern and what shouldn't be a concern. We work with the Securonix folks to try to come up with better ways to identify that."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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 is competitive."

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

"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."

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

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. It is a pretty expensive tool."

"Its pricing is quite similar to others and is very competitive. The other solutions have different types of licensing, but when you do the math, it is competitive."

"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."

"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."

"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."

"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."

"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."

"We have a license from our 5.0, so that license just continued. We paid them the extra cloud-hosting costs for a year which were about $300,000."
