The tool's integration capabilities are effective, and it helps in managing alarms for normal threats efficiently. Overall, Google SecOps is a very useful service for security operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The playbook and the dashboard of FortiSOAR are really informative."
"We use the product for security."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"The good news is that FortiSOAR is not hard to maintain. If you prepared well and deployed strong initially, then maintenance will take half an hour every other week, not more than that. A single person can do it."
"Generally, the tool helps just automating a lot of manual load or repetitive tasks."
"Without hyperbole, I have never, in my entire career, encountered a vendor or a vendor community as awesome as Siemplify. Siemplify and the Siemplify Community quite literally made it possible for our SOC to increase almost five-fold in our number of clients and number of analysts and to go from a Monday to Friday 9-5 shop to a 24/7 shop all in the span of under a year and a half and all while continually adding capabilities and improving the services we offer to our clients."
"The most valuable feature of Siemplify is the playbooks that can be created."
"The playbooks feature in Siemplify is crucial for automation. We've utilized both standard and custom integrations with other security operation solutions, enhancing our flexibility. The user interface is generally straightforward, although recent changes may require some adjustment and Siemplify's integrations and capabilities offer potential support for various compliance requirements."
"Overall, Google SecOps is a very useful service for security operations."
"Google SecOps is extremely useful for threat detection and hunting."
 

Cons

"I don't currently see where the solution is lacking features. For us and for our clients it works very well and we're pleased with it."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"We need more fine-tuning for ChatGPT, especially when creating connectors."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."
"Technical support could be improved."
"FortiSOAR needs to improve the response time for executing playbooks."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The main improvement could be in the accuracy and detail provided in threat descriptions."
"We often encounter minor issues that could be improved, but we maintain communication with the developers and submit feature requests. Recently, I requested enhancements such as improved search functionality within playbooks and expanded options for exporting case data."
"I'm inclined to say that I'd love to see some Machine Learning capabilities integrated into the platform, however, I just attended a demo this morning where Siemplify gave a sneak peek into some Machine Learning capabilities that they are currently developing and have roadmapped for release soon."
"Building the playbooks could be easier and the integration could improve. It is a difficult process, such as what API connections need to be made."
"The main improvement could be in the accuracy and detail provided in threat descriptions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."
"If you compare Fortinet FortiSOAR's price with the prices of the market leader, Palo Alto, then it can be considered a cheaper product."
"The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
"The price of the product should be lower. The brand value that Fortinet has, it has the reputation of being a reasonably priced product, and they have an enormous customer base in India. Most of the SME market is covered by FortiGate firewalls. It becomes an easy way for consultants, such as us, or even system integrators, to open the door with the Fortinet product lines."
"Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
