Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Microsoft, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)."I like the ability to run custom KQL queries. I don't know if that feature is specific to Sentinel. As far as I know, they are using technology built into Azure's Log Analytics app. Sentinel integrates with that, and we use this functionality heavily."
"Sentinel enables us to ingest data from our entire ecosystem. In addition to integrating our Cisco ASA Firewall logs, we get our Palo Alto proxy logs and some on-premises data coming from our hardware devices... That is very important and is one way Sentinel is playing a wider role in our environment."
"The most valuable feature is the onboarding of the workloads. You can see all that has been onboarded in your account on the dashboards."
"We have no complaints about the features or functionality."
"The UI of Sentinel is very good and easy to use, even for beginners."
"We are able to deploy within half an hour and we only require one person to complete the implementation."
"What is most useful, is that it has a good connection to the Microsoft ecosystem, and I think that's the key part."
"It is quite efficient. It helps our clients in identifying their security issues and respond quickly. Our clients want to automate incident response and all those things."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."
"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us."
"The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate."
"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."
"The primary valuable feature is that it has replaced a whole lot of other products with one platform."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is less costly than other products and is available 24/7."
"The solution’s IP database is awesome."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"The setup is simple."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"Documentation is the main thing that could be improved. In terms of product usage, the documentation is pretty good, but I'd like a lot more documentation on Kusto Query Language."
"I believe one of the challenges I encountered was the absence of live training sessions, even with the option to pay for them."
"The AI capabilities must be improved."
"If I see an alert and I want to drill down and get more details about the alert, it's not just one click. In other SIEM tools, you just have to click the IP address of the entity and they give you the complete picture. In Sentinel, you have to write queries or use saved queries to get details."
"Not all information shows up in Sentinel. Sometimes there are items provided in 365 and if you looked in Sentinel you would not see them and therefore think they do not exist. There can be discrepancies between Microsoft tools."
"Its implementation could be simpler. It is not really simple or straightforward. It is in the middle. Sometimes, connectors are a little bit complex."
"The product can be improved by reducing the cost to use AI machine learning."
"There is room for improvement in entity behavior and the integration site."
"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"Areas for improvement would be the ease of use and the integration with Fortinet's own products."
"Customer support service could be better."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data."
"It's difficult to integrate unsupported devices with FortiSIEM compared to QRadar. It's easier to integrate and develop processes in QRadar. It's harder to develop a custom process in FortiSIEM."
"The backup and recovery process for this solution needs improvement."
"We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
