Cons
"The graphs on the user interface could be improved as we often experience glitches.""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.""It's difficult to integrate unsupported devices with FortiSIEM compared to QRadar. It's easier to integrate and develop processes in QRadar. It's harder to develop a custom process in FortiSIEM.""The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement.""They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR.""Network detection and response is a separate product.""I would like to see more integration with other platforms.""I would like to see easier implementation in the future."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Cons →

"The only issue I have with McAfee is the amount of computer resources that it takes... it's definitely impacting some of the other applications that are running on a computer at the same time.""Product currently requires Flash.""The only drawback is that they don't have any packet capturing or network behavior analysis.""We cannot add new data sources to the most recent version.""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.""The product’s alert response feature needs improvement. It could be more flexible and secure.""The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution needs to improve case management. The UI is confusing."
