"The most valuable features of this solution are the data correlation and vulnerability assessment."
"There are a lot of people you will find using OSSIM since they are also offering OTX as a service"
"The open vault component and the checking of vulnerabilities are the most valuable features. The page management helps with this. If you know how your device is vulnerable at least you can do something about it."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy."
"The CMDB and the device discovery features are most valuable."

"The documentation could be improved."
"AlienVault OSSIM should improve the deployment and make it unified like the USM."
"They can add more compliance templates."
"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."
"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."
"The graphs on the user interface could be improved as we often experience glitches."
"It lacks a "wizard" that shows a particular user's activity or particular circumstance. I think the interface is intimidating because there's so much information there."

"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."
"FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."
"There could be more AI features included in the product."
