Deploying FortiSIEM is straightforward. Most of our customers prefer the on-prem version over the cloud. 

While I am responsible for the overall product owners within PTCL, within my organization, I don’t directly deal with implementation tasks.

My colleagues tell me it is easy to deal with, however.

My team did not face any issues during configuration.

Fortinet performed the initial setup, and it took about a week. We installed the image and integrated it with another server's Active Directory. Then we integrated it with the firewalls, routers, switches, and controller. Finally, we had to configure the policies.

I rate the ease of setup a seven to eight out of ten. It's agentless. We can hit the ground running. A third-party provider currently supports us in maintaining the product. We have no complaints regarding the maintenance work.

The solution is quite simple and straightforward to set up. I'd rate it a four out of five in terms of ease of execution.

There is, for example, no need to more configuration. It's very easy. In the cloud, you just reinstall the virtual machine, its main connectors in Big Sur, and then, on the customer side, you put the small virtual machine at the connectors.

The initial setup was straightforward because Fortinet had already provisioned the appliance. We added it to our VM and finished up by configuring the key. The only bit where there was a bit of a problem was when we started because it was supposed to be a three-in-one appliance, but we noticed that we needed to separate the collector in a different location. Otherwise, it's a straightforward process.

My understanding of a three-in-one appliance is that both the collector and the other components have to be in the same box. However, there was certain information that we were not getting, and I understand that this was changed in the 6.3 version, where the collector is separate.

This makes it easier to use agentless apps, because with agentless apps, the information is now sent back to the collector if it is separate from the other components. So, we now have to start making changes to the Kapolei collector with storage and all that. I think it's still pretty straightforward though.

The initial deployment was done with the partner. Since then, we have done additional endpoints and upgrades, and we are doing all the work ourselves now. 

Setting up FortiSIEM is straightforward because they provide you with a step-by-step guide that covers installation and troubleshooting. The deployment time depends on your setup and what you need to integrate. It can take days or weeks, but we can typically finish in under a week.

There isn't a single one-size-fits-all implementation because some clients have mixed environments, and we need to develop a custom solution if we are working on multiple fabrics.

I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM a nine out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.

Setting up FortiSIEM is straightforward.  I prefer this product in the Fortinet environment. It's easy to install and configure.  

The initial setup was quite straightforward. They have good documentation and once we deployed, there were only a couple of times where we needed a little bit of support because there were delayed reactions. 

The deployment of Fortinet FortiSIEM, which included the migration of 30 plus customers and the initial setup of all components, did not take more than a month.

The initial setup is easy, but the time it takes for the deployment depends on the number of applications monitored. One of our clients has taken us three weeks, but a typical setup takes one month. Some logs are simple to configure while others can be more difficult. 

Deploying the solution is a straightforward process that involves just a few steps, such as loading the solution and configuring it, after which the solution will commence retrieving the data.

The solution's initial setup is a bit complex as you have to do a lot of configuration. You have to collect data from different sources such as Microsoft, IBM, etc. The data extraction process differs for every system. Thus, you have to apply different protocols to collect data from various sources.

The product's initial setup phase was easy. I wasn't a part of the deployment process.

The initial setup is quite swift.

There are lots of issues with licensing policies like the agentless and agent-based installation. It creates a lot of issues because when we purchase the SIEM, by default, we expect most of the licenses to be in the bundle. But it's not like that. We need to purchase separate licenses for each agent and agentless system. There is also licensing with the EPS. It's quite difficult for proposing and purchasing the solution. We hire Fortinet professional services for deployment. 

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSIEM was easy. The deployment took a week and a half and was based on a project plan. You don't need more than two people to deploy and maintain this solution.

The workload required for this software is a major challenge. It requires a huge workload in terms of CPU and memory. It requires a huge workload for the installation and for the integration with all the systems. The whole implementation took approximately six months.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSIEM is straightforward. It took us approximately two weeks.

The initial setup is very easy. It's straightforward.

One person can do the basic installation and maintenance. One person can support engineers.

Every product that Fortinet offers is easy to install and can easily be deployed by one person.

You can deploy and execute one device in one day. If the project is large then you will need two or three days to complete the installation. This includes time for troubleshooting if needed.

It’s not harder than any other similar product. It’s very easy to set up in the fact that they provide an OVA file that you can quickly and simply download and with a few configuration settings be on the network. There are multiple other deployment options for other hypervisors as well as bare metal deployments. More than anything the troubles come with configuring all of your log sources to send the necessary log messages. That’s true for any product, not just Accelops.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy. The solution is on a virtual appliance that you download and put in the VMworld or on-premise. I would rate the ease of initial setup a five out of five.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy. The full deployment took approximately seven days.

I wasn't involved in the initial setup, but my team was.

The initial setup for this solution is straightforward, although we are not yet in full production. During the past two years, while we have been implementing, we have found a lot of bugs in the software. As such, we're still not in a state where we can go into full production. For example, if you are certified for PCI then one of the standards is that you have to have proper backup recovery in place. This solution is lapsing in that area. 

Two staff are required for deployment and maintenance.

They got the system up and running pretty easily and now he's working with the engineering groups and others to start making sure that the SM&NT logs are all set. Right now we're in ramp-up mode, so once it's fully loaded we'll be able to talk more about how it's performing with that volume of logs and all the dashboards and things that we started automating.

It was complex because we didn't know the product. It's pretty in-depth, but once we got familiar with the software it made a lot of sense.

The initial setup was simple, and we deployed Fortinet FortiSIEM in two days. We already had all the information regarding the customers' notes, and it was simple, quick and fast.

The implementation process is kind of easy. We start in a small way. The challenge for us is the storage. We need to find a way to have storage redundancy so that if the main site fails, we have a copy of the data on a remote site. This is the challenge that we are facing right now.

The initial setup is easy.

The initial setup is straightforward. There is a learning curve for the software, but overall it was up and running and collecting information in a matter of an hour post setup.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSIEM was easy. The deployment would take a few days for the middle and large models.

We need some information for the customer, such as policies, before we can implement the solution.

The setup was straightforward, but the performance issues we had were the biggest stumbling block. In terms of getting it out of the box and up and running, it really wasn’t difficult at all.

The solution was fairly complex. However, this was due to the fact that we had to do a lot of configurations at the outset. The solution didn't make the process easy for us. Typically, it's easy to implement and I would be able to handle the process myself.

It took us about 15 days to deploy everything on our end.

The initial setup does take some time to learn. I'm in the process of learning more about it now, specifically in relation to configuration or the VPN.

In terms of the initial setup, the process is not straightforward. It's complex and difficult. Making it easier would help a lot.

All CM installations and implementations are complicated. You have to tailor the product. It's not really something you can just implement out-of-the-box. 

That said, a basic installation is simple. It takes a few days. After you've done the implementation stage, then it takes time. Of course, it depends on the projects. I cannot say how much time it's taken exactly. I just know it takes quite a while.

For deployment, we use two people in a project. One of them is for the beginning of the project - for the implementation and the installation process. The other is the administration which we are generally pas off to our customers. I tend to handle the daily operations.

The initial setup is complex, mostly because of the security, not because of the product. Most of the security features in the installation process are difficult. They require tuning.  You have to be careful you don't configure something wrong. This is a complexity of the environment and the solution itself. The engineer should understand what the customer is looking for. The product might be very good, but if it is positioned in the wrong way, it can be harmful.

The installation is straightforward but the configuration is complex because it compromises of several aspects of the network infrastructure, servers, and the databases. You have to know what you want to gain out of this product. 

The deployment took around three months. There are a lot of dashboards to configure. It's not about just the installation. The planning phase and understanding what you want to get out of it, setting up the logs, and working on the correlations take time. 

FortiSIEM is easy to set up. Installing the supervisor component of FortiSIEM took around one hour, but the console installation for QRadar takes almost three to four hours.

The installation is straightforward and can be done in one day.

The initial setup is quite easy.

It is easy to install.

In one day, we were able to install this solution ourselves.

We only need one engineer to maintain this solution.

The initial setup is not simple.

We are having some issues with the agent installation, it is requiring several reboots. This could be the system environment at the client site because in our lab the agent installation is straightforward and it does not require reboots. We are still working on this issue.

The initial setup was quite complex. We've had some issues with the first OVF file that we downloaded. We had to customize the installation processes. It was a bit complex in the earlier versions, but the newer versions have greatly improved. 

The initial setup was straightforward. The time it takes to complete the setup and deployment depends on the size of the environment and the number of EPS events per second.

The setup was pretty complex, but we had great support from AccelOps.

The initial setup was straightforward.

Once we got the OVA file, and I was able to commandeer some time from the appropriate people here, it wasn’t an issue.

The initial setup with Fortinet FortiSIEM Accelops was not easy. We had faced a few problems. but I think Fortinet should give more training courses for their resellers.

We needed to find what the weak points were.  in our network. Our deployment took up to two months. 

We were looking to deploy a unique correlation between nodes. We wanted to track the packets from our clouds Services like cloud sandbox and anti-spam to log our end-to-end connections.

The reseller told us that they comply with our solution. After that, we figured out that it was not going to very easy. FortiSIEM doesn't support ATP Symantec. 

They also did not support our web gateway log format.

For the first steps you have some help. At the beginning you have priority support, you have engineers. After that you pay.

It's complex because you need to evaluate a lot of things.

I don't think it was complex.

Complex due to the configuration.

The initial setup wasn't complex. It took three days to deploy and we required two people for the deployment. 

The initial setup was a little difficult because no good guidelines were available. However, this has since been improved. It took around six months to finish a complete deployment.
