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.

It's not very attractive when compared to other solutions but the pricing is comfortable.
Log collection, and correlation engine usage. It has some limitations in parser modules. Comfort in pricing.  It's not very attractive in comparison to other solutions.  It needs to improve in AI and automatic parsing. One to three years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Every feature is good. This is one of the greatest SIEM products on the market."
"Technical support is helpful."
"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 solution has an all-in-one approach, where we buy one product and everything our customer needs is included, without additional licenses for more functionality, and any adjustments are done very quickly and easily."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security."
"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."
"The most valuable features for us are the built-in reports and alerts, along with the extreme flexibility in reporting and rule generation."
"Comfort in pricing."
 

Cons

"As we're an SMB, I would like to see different licensing options and the solution is priced out of the reach of some small businesses."
"With FortiSIEM, the issue has to do with the ways we can generate a report. It's not as flexible compared to that with other SIEM tools, like Splunk."
"We need more incidents automatically to protect our network."
"The UI could improve in Fortinet FortiSIEM. Humans view the UI frequently for data and if it was more visually pleasing it would be beneficial."
"The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"It has some limitations in parser modules."
 

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."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is very cost-efficient compared to other SIEM solutions."
"They have a yearly subscription."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM was reasonable compared to other solutions."
"The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."
