We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product.""It is easy to implement but requires good planning.""You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it.""The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available.""Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features.""The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts.""It is the foundation for our monitoring solution.""The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats.""The most valuable feature is the dashboard. CMDB database collects data from a lot of pre-configured devices.""To add workers and even collectors is pretty easy.""AccelOps can handle a lot of data and it's just so important to true monitoring. Also, I can create a lot of rules to detect anything I like.""FortiSIEM's best features are the dashboards and customization.""Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us.""It is used as an alerting platform.""It's easy to manage. There's a web interface and a command line, depending on what the user is comfortable with. There's a large knowledge base available, and the support is timely."

Cons
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level.""I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there.""The dashboards need to be improved.""​We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard.""A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer.""The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes.""We would like to see automatic network topology.""It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Cons →

"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.""I would like to see more integration with other platforms.""Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome.""Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve by having a signature update.""The reporting feature is not very attractive for the upper management and I am not able to perform complex/nested queries.""Fortinet FortiSIEM could improve to extend to several locations or sites.""There could be more AI features included in the product.""FortiSIEM is not a market leader in the SIEM space."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
  • "The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
  • "The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
  • "Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
  • "CAD $400,000 annually."
  • "Customers pay for the license and the support."
  • "Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."
  • More DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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."
  • "Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."
