Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me.""This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements.""Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us.""Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories.""To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy.""The primary valuable feature is that it has replaced a whole lot of other products with one platform.""Fortinet FortiSIEM has its own validated and authentic IP database that marks malicious IP attacks against the firewall and generates an alert for the same.""FortiSIEM sends an email or SMS notifications to admins when there are significant incidents. It's a highly efficient way of responding to incidents."

Cons
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data.""They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR.""There could be more AI features included in the product.""When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did 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.""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 stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Sometimes, if there are changes made by a user on a database server, it can be difficult to get that information on the fly. I would like to see a situation where once I specify a user with the database server I need, and with the changes they have performed on that, I don't need to continue my search pattern to drill down just to get the information."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Cons →

"There are some bugs or glitches.""GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls.""The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer.""They have good technical support but it's not excellent.""It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."
