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.

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

Pros

"The advanced agents used to collect logs have been most valuable. We have also made use of the advanced intelligence this solution offers."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is highly scalable. I would rate its scalability nine out of ten."
"I would advise others this solution is easy to use and has a lot of features."
"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."
"Technical support is very good. The people in support are excellent, and they know this product in and out."
"We have found the most important features in Fortinet FortiSIEM to be the correlation, file utility check, latest file, and hash changes."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"Comfort in pricing."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files."
"Customer support service could be better."
"The log collection and configuration management are not great."
"The initial setup with Fortinet FortiSIEM Accelops was not easy. We had faced a few problems, but I think Fortinet should give more training courses for their resellers."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
