Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Wire data analytics.""Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis.""This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space.""There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has.""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.""The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."

"Analytics. It can provide log information from the device. With log information, I can see if there is a threat""Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats.""The advanced agents used to collect logs have been most valuable. We have also made use of the advanced intelligence this solution offers.""The primary valuable feature is that it has replaced a whole lot of other products with one platform.""The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSIEM are the SD-WAN, Global LAN, and application controls.""FortiSIEM sends an email or SMS notifications to admins when there are significant incidents. It's a highly efficient way of responding to incidents.""It is used as an alerting platform.""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."

Cons
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data.""They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement.""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 either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that.""Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Cons →

"The support of the product changed recently, and I don't think it's for the better. They should work to improve the support they offer to clients.""Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products.""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.""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.""They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR.""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.""Network detection and response is a separate product.""The biggest thing that could be better is a quicker response to support cases."
