Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The CMDB and the device discovery features are most valuable.""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.""It is used as an alerting platform.""I like the various options, including the option for CMDB and the easier access to create rules, playbooks, or use cases. It's also easier to use for creating dashboards and reports.""Easy alert setup which enables different alerts in different categories.""The event correlation is pretty robust. The GUI is pretty good.""The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls.""It gives us the opportunity to generate notifications based upon rules that get triggered, and the rules could be specific to PCI, HIPAA, GIBA, NIST, and so forth."

"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups.""We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product.""We are able to diagnose problems before our customers.""Technical support is always great.""I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well.""It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily.""The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs.""The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."

Cons
"It would be good if the solution offered even more configuration options, especially in relation to the VPN so that it continues to be a very flexible option.""Fortinet FortiSIEM is a little out of sight and needs more marketing efforts to be popular in the market.""Does not have load-sharing or high-availability, and these are important things to implement. I can do the same things in another way, but not naturally having these features makes it complicated.""The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data.""Their technical support is horrible. By horrible, I mean a train wreck of a disaster that has fallen off a bridge and caught fire.""If there is a configuration on the wrong side of the network or there are changes that result in harm to our IT infrastructure, the solution should immediately fix it.""Patching is not great - we're not getting the support we'd expect.""The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM Cons →

"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc.""There are some API gaps that are missing.""The solution should improve its UI.""The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems.""There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries.""I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial.""We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default.""The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Please be cheaper and more simplified."
  • "We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
  • "Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
  • "Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."
  • "The price of Fortinet FortiSIEM is a lot less when compared to other solutions."
  • "They have a yearly subscription."
  • "The solution is available for both, perpetual and subscription licenses."

  • More Fortinet FortiSIEM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
  • "Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
  • "We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."
  • "The AWS Marketplace pricing is fairly reasonable for what it does. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap. It is pretty good."
  • "The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
  • "The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
  • "Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
  • "If we went to ELK Stack, which is open source, it would have been less costly, but it would have required more development from our side."
