"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats."
"It's easy to manage. There's a web interface and a command line, depending on what the user is comfortable with. There's a large knowledge base available, and the support is timely."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."
"The event correlation is pretty robust. The GUI is pretty good."
"We have many application systems, and I can set up Fortinet FortiSIEM for users to monitor their systems."
"The seamless integration with FortiGate is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"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."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
"If there is a configuration on the wrong side of the network or there are changes that result in harm to our IT infrastructure, the solution should immediately fix it."
"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."
"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."
"The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries."
"Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time."
"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."
"Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
