Cons
"I would like to see easier implementation in the future.""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.""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.""The UI could improve in Fortinet FortiSIEM. Humans view the UI frequently for data and if it was more visually pleasing it would be beneficial.""The product does not have Security Orchestration and Automation Response, I would recommend adding this feature.""FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space.""We expect the latest patch from Fortinet FortiSIEM to give the ability to work with signature files.""The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Cons →

"It is an ancient product.""I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard.""The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations.""There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms.""The dashboard and customer view should be improved""I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability.""Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar.""There is no integration in the web-side of the tool."
