Pros
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has.""Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis.""The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts.""The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network.""Wire data analytics.""This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."

"We like the integration of all of these Fortinet platforms together. Everything is integrated well, and we are able to sell that as a service to our customers.""There are things like dashboards and reports (pre-configured and custom) that let me know that things are operating the way they should be, and when they are not.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events.""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.""Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features.""I like FortiSIEM because it integrates natively with our other Fortinet solutions and the Fortinet Fabric, but it also integrates with Cisco, Palo Alto and other security fabrics.""FortiSIEM is a great tool for making security processes transparent.""Real-time monitoring makes life quite easy for me."

Cons
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved.""I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data.""This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer.""We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services.""They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement.""They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Cons →

"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome.""The policy editing should be easier. Right now, it's too hard.""The UI could improve in Fortinet FortiSIEM. Humans view the UI frequently for data and if it was more visually pleasing it would be beneficial.""We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction.""They need to integrate better with Cisco and Palo Alto.""The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement.""Not very good on non-API features, lacks that functionality.""FortiSIEM could be better integrated with other vendors."
