"The challenge I face with Fortinet FortiSIEM is the lack of support."
"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."
"Network detection and response is a separate product."
"They could work on their documentation. If there's anything about the solution that needs improvement, it's that. For example, documentation already is on a very high level but specifically on the CLI there are tons of features which can be fine-tuned and thousands of commands are very difficult to document. If they could make this easier, it would improve the overall solution."
"Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time."
"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."
"The policy editing should be easier. Right now, it's too hard."
"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."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
