Cons
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved.""Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update.""Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome.""Network detection and response is a separate product.""FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space.""Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having better integration and extensions.

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Cons →

"The initial setup is difficult and could improve.""There should be support for multitenancy in the product.""The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required.""McAfee ESM is not user-friendly and the log is not accurate. For instance, if I were assigned to generate a log for changes made today, I wouldn't be able to see all the modifications. While Palo Alto allows us to see all changes, McAfee ESM only captures one out of every ten changes. It's crucial to have visibility into all changes made.""We cannot add new data sources to the most recent version.""Cloud integration has room for improvement because they're not full-fledged to integrate with the cloud solutions that come. They use different integration platforms to bring in data, and that needs to be improved.""It seems McAfee does test its product before releasing. When we - not only us, other companies also - deploy McAfee, we face multiple issues from the customer side, after which, McAfee reacts and fixes the bugs.""The user interface could be more user-friendly."
