Fortinet FortiSIEM Reviews

I use the solution in my company since it provides ease of monitoring. My company uses the product to get reports for our customers and monitoring purposes, as per the customer's preferences.

At times, I have noticed that Fortinet FortiSIEM suddenly goes down, and because of this, I have to reboot the servers from the engineers. Usually, I have to restart the panel again to get the product functioning. The aforementioned area of concern has been around for a very long time, making it something where improvements are required.

The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.

ArcSight can provide a detailed report for a year in a PDF format. In Fortinet FortiSIEM, there is a need to put in manual effort to get a detailed report. In Fortinet FortiSIEM, if I get reports for a specific time frame, I have to manually narrow them down by myself, after which I will not be able to get them in a Word or PDF format, which can be challenging.

I have been using Fortinet FortiSIEM for a year. My company uses the product for some of our internal purposes.

It is a scalable tool. The product can handle a considerable number of customers.

At the moment, there are only two people in my company who use the solution. In the future, the number of uses may increase, especially if my company has to deal with more customers who want to use Fortinet FortiSIEM.

Based on what I heard from my colleagues, the technical support is not bad. My colleagues directly contact the technical support for help.

The product's initial setup phase was easy. I wasn't a part of the deployment process.

In terms of how the tool supports our company's compliance monitoring and reporting practices, I would say that it stems from the fact that Fortinet FortiSIEM is able to serve what our company's customers want while also having the ability to offer solutions, making it quite easy for us to give the customers what they want. The fact that the solution helps my company provide the reports that my customer wants is actually nice. The tool also offers customization ability.

The features of Fortinet FortiSIEM that I find most effective for real-time security event correlation are real-time server connections, which allow me to see all the servers that are online at a particular period of time. The product also shows the threats and bifurcates them into high, medium, and low. The solution has the ability to generate reports easily. The product also provides specific solutions for any threats that are found.

The way Fortinet FortiSIEM improves my company's security posture stems from the fact that with the tool, I can see whatever is happening in real-time. In terms of security issues, if I try to see the problem or threat, then I can really dig deep into what is happening, which is a nice feature.

The tool is easy to maintain. Only two people are required to maintain the solution.

If I compare the integration capabilities of ArcSight with Fortinet FortiSIEM, I would have to say that the latter is in a better position to provide its customers with more details in terms of cybersecurity threats or if they want to compare the firewalls. Fortinet FortiSIEM is better for customers with no cybersecurity knowledge since it helps them understand the product. Fortinet FortiSIEM is better for the security of its customers.

I would ask those who plan to use the Fortinet FortiSIEM to see whether there are other solutions with which it needs to interact in their environment. Fortinet FortiSIEM is one of the best solutions I have dealt with, considering that it has a nice user interface. The update page is good and works in real time. The firewall part of the tool is good. I don't think there is anything that can cause problems for the tool's firewall. I actually liked the tool's firewall.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

If a customer is looking to establish a centralized monitoring and security solution, Fortinet FortiSIEM can be tailored to meet their specific needs effectively. This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements.

It works exceptionally well when combined with a vulnerability management solution.

Customer support service could be better.

It provides great stability features.

Scalability is excellent, especially for our enterprise-level clients.

I have moderate satisfaction with customer support, and we've learned to manage it adequately. I would rate it three out of ten.

Negative

I previously worked with LogPoint, which had rigid pricing structures. In contrast, we value flexibility and aim to provide more adaptable support, so we switched to Fortinet FortiSIEM.

The initial setup is quite swift.

The deployment process usually takes just one to two days to have the basics up and running. This involves connecting the collectors and configuring the systems.

Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget. We discuss how to tailor the pricing to fit the specific needs and financial considerations of the customer.

I would highly recommend it. It's a top-tier solution, receiving a solid ten out of ten rating.

We have an MSSP license and provide services to customers from various verticals like manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and MRD (Manufacturing, Retail & Distribution). We provide the services of Fortinet FortiSIEM to customers who cannot avail of costly on-premise services.

Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7.

Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market.

We have a couple of customers using this solution.

I rate the scalability of Fortinet FortiSIEM a nine out of ten.

The support from Fortinet FortiSIEM is great.

The initial setup is easy, but the time it takes for the deployment depends on the number of applications monitored. One of our clients has taken us three weeks, but a typical setup takes one month. Some logs are simple to configure while others can be more difficult. 

Deploying the solution is a straightforward process that involves just a few steps, such as loading the solution and configuring it, after which the solution will commence retrieving the data.

We do the implementation of the solution with two administrators within one month.

The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license.

My advice to others that might want to implement this solution is to know their business needs. There are other solutions, such as Splunk that can provide a lot more information when collecting data but it might not be needed for their use case. A small business would not need all the extra features of Splunk.

I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM an eight out of ten.

The solution's ability to collect data from different sources is its most valuable feature.

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

We have been using the solution for six months.

I rate the solution's stability as a nine.

I rate the solution's scalability as an eight. It works well with medium to large-scale enterprises.

The solution's tech support team is good.

The solution's initial setup is a bit complex as you have to do a lot of configuration. You have to collect data from different sources such as Microsoft, IBM, etc. The data extraction process differs for every system. Thus, you have to apply different protocols to collect data from various sources.

The solution has a lot of network solutions in its bucket. As a result, they provide excellent network strength. I advise others to know the product well before implementing it. I rate it as an eight.

It is used as an alerting platform and has an availability manager.

We already have experience with Fortinet products, so dealing with Fortinet FortiSIEM is not complicated.

They should offer better visibility, more correlation tools and a better understanding of the network. Fortinet FortiSIEM already uses simple and standard protocols like SNMP, DuraMI and Syslog. Other solutions like QRadar use sFlow, so I think that they can do better.

In addition, the log collection and configuration management are not great.

We have been using this solution for three years. We deployed Fortinet FortiSIEM at about three customer sites, and it is deployed on-premises.

The product is stable.

It is a scalable solution.

We have expertise with the product, so we don't use technical support often. We only require support for the error mark, and the support is quick and fast for that.

The initial setup was simple, and we deployed Fortinet FortiSIEM in two days. We already had all the information regarding the customers' notes, and it was simple, quick and fast.

It is cheaper than LogPoint or QRadar.

I rate this solution a five out of ten. It is not as good as other solutions like QRadar, but it's cheaper than other products and very simple. In the next release, the visibility should consist of simple and standard protocols.

Regarding advice, if you don't have a dedicated team to handle your logs, don't have a big budget, and want a solution to correlate and collect logs from many vendors, Fortinet FortiSIEM is an excellent choice.

I use FortiSIEM for email events and security alarms.

FortiSIEM's best features are the dashboards and customization.

An improvement would be if FortiSIEM's licensing was based on the number of nodes rather than the EPS. In the next release, FortiSIEM should implement a central repository.

I've been working with FortiSIEM for more than three years.

FortiSIEM's stability is quite good.

FortiSIEM is scalable, though this is constrained by the licensing model.

FortiSIEM provides a single PIN to monitor SOC and NOC. It's a nice tool for integration and monitoring. It provides multiple categories for monitoring based on security designations like low, medium, and high. 

It's difficult to integrate unsupported devices with FortiSIEM compared to QRadar. It's easier to integrate and develop processes in QRadar. It's harder to develop a custom process in FortiSIEM. 

I've been using FortiSIEM for a year and a half.

FortiSIEM is stable. QRadar and FortiSIEM are both fairly stable. There aren't many issues from an admin point of view.

FortiSIEM is scalable.
