Pros
"The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate.""To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy.""Analytics. It can provide log information from the device. With log information, I can see if there is a threat""We have found the most important features in Fortinet FortiSIEM to be the correlation, file utility check, latest file, and hash changes. These features are important for us.""It gives us the opportunity to generate notifications based upon rules that get triggered, and the rules could be specific to PCI, HIPAA, GIBA, NIST, and so forth.""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.""Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users.""The solution is very stable. It's run for years without the need to do anything except, add new patches when they are available, which are always a good idea to install."

"The setup was easy.""We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product.""The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great.""It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers.""Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution.""The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application.""The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs.""Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."

Cons
"The dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much.""The log collection and configuration management are not great.""The dashboard needs to improve.""The solution needs to do a better job with third party integration. Right now, that's lacking on the solution. I specifically am talking about the AWS environment. Most of the AWS environment products do not have that capability to integrate.""Network detection and response is a separate product.""The process of installing Fortinet FortiSIEM and the customization of the alerts take too long.""Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome.""Customer support service could be better."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Cons →

"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely.""The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc.""The licensing model is confusing.""The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now.""The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed.""The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great.""Real user and UI monitoring are not practical.""The dashboard could include more features."
