"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The fault management is perfect."
"FortiSIEM's best features are the dashboards and customization."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM has its own validated and authentic IP database that marks malicious IP attacks against the firewall and generates an alert for the same."
"The interface is very easy to use. The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor."
"The ability to write my own parsers for the devices that are not supported by Fortinet is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls."
"We have found the most important features in Fortinet FortiSIEM to be the correlation, file utility check, latest file, and hash changes. These features are important for us."
"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto."
"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."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."
"With FortiSIEM, the issue has to do with the ways we can generate a report. It's not as flexible compared to that with other SIEM tools, like Splunk."
"FortiSIEM needs to expand its integration with third-party vendors. I don't know if Forcepoint has been added, but there were limited resources for integrating Forcepoint solutions when we implemented FortiSIEM. It integrates well with other Fortinet products and solutions from established cybersecurity companies like Palo Alto but doesn't integrate with some of the newer vendors."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's interface could be modernized and improved."
