Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Microsoft, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)."Our customer did not have security monitoring in the first place. With this solution, it provided security posture management and visibility about the security landscape and threats that they had."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"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."
"The stability is very reliable. It offers very good performance."
"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."
"The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate."
"Technical support is helpful."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"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."
"FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."
"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."
"Does not have load-sharing or high-availability, and these are important things to implement. I can do the same things in another way, but not naturally having these features makes it complicated."
"Patching is not great - we're not getting the support we'd expect."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
