Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events.""The most valuable features for us are the built-in reports and alerts, along with the extreme flexibility in reporting and rule generation.""Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users.""FortiSIEM sends an email or SMS notifications to admins when there are significant incidents. It's a highly efficient way of responding to incidents.""Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses.""Our customer did not have security monitoring in the first place. With this solution, it provided security posture management and visibility about the security landscape and threats that they had.""The most valuable feature is the anomaly-reporting alarms.""The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Pros →

"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status.""The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features.""We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product.""The product provides intensive reports.""The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine.""The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable.""The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great.""The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."

Cons
"Patching is not great - we're not getting the support we'd expect.""The solution's interface could be modernized and improved.""Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products.""Our team tried configuring MS SQL database logs with Fortinet FortiSIEM, but it did not work for some time.""Network detection and response is a separate product.""The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases.""Sometimes, if there are changes made by a user on a database server, it can be difficult to get that information on the fly. I would like to see a situation where once I specify a user with the database server I need, and with the changes they have performed on that, I don't need to continue my search pattern to drill down just to get the information.""The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Cons →

"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc.""They should add more features to URL monitoring.""The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles.""OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster.""Real user and UI monitoring are not practical.""We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly.""We get a lot of false alerts.""ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."
