I rate FortiSIEM seven out of 10. I strongly recommend this solution for customers who are using Fortinet products. It offers the same features as other vendors, but it's less expensive. However, some other SIEM solutions are more effective.  

I’m not sure which exact version I’m using.

We are a cloud provider. Whatever we do, we sell it to our clients. We're not an enterprise, we are a public cloud provider, PTCL, and we sell to our clients.

I’d rate the solution eight out of ten.

If a company already has Fortinet devices in their network they have all the components of security of Fortinet, then it will make sense for them to consider FortiSIEM. If, however, it doesn’t have Fortinet security devices, it may be difficult to leverage.

I would recommend the solution to others. One of our customers moved from ArcSight to FortiSIEM because they had some support issues. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM eight out of 10. I would recommend FortiSIEM for corporate users, but I haven't tried any other SIEM solutions, so I have no reference for comparison. In the future, we might try another vendor with a more comprehensive solution. 

It's a good tool if we are small and growing. It is easy to deploy. The support is available. The product is easy to learn. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I'd rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 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. I've been using FortiSIEM for about two years and FortiGate for about ten years, and I would recommend FortiSIEM to people who are interested in running next-generation firewalls.

Overall, I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM an eight out of ten.

My overall impression is that this is an SMB product. It is not a large-scale enterprise or multi-tenant product. Even though they tell you it'll do that, it is an SMB tool, and it is pretty good for that purpose. However, most institutions would not have the required in-house expertise for it. You need a dedicated, skilled technical administrator. You need your own DevOps team, which small and medium businesses generally don't have, or you can do what we did and use a partner to do the work for you.

I would caution others to fully understand the support model and talk to reference customers about it and have a solid understanding of what their internal resource needs will be to implement and support it. That's because it is complicated. Depending on the product you pick, you would need some in-house technical capabilities. For bigger companies, that's usually not a problem, but for small and medium businesses, that can be a problem.

I would rate it a six out of ten. It is suitable for its purpose. It is targeted at the SMB market. The feature function is fine. I would rate it higher if their technical support was better.

I rate FortiSIEM eight out of 10. My only advice is to understand your environment and learn as much as you can about SIEM before implementing the solution. I started by building open-source solutions from scratch, which gave me a big picture view of how to implement SIEM solutions and work with fabrics. You need to learn the basics about how to set rules and interpret logs. 

The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. I'll recommend Fortinet FortiSIEM to users because of its functionalities, irrespective of whether they have a hybrid, on-prem, or cloud deployment. If a company has some compliance and regulations, the solution can fulfill their compliance and regulations within their country or industry.

Overall, I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM a nine out of ten.

I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM nine out of 10. 

If your use case suits this solution, I would recommend it. If you are a professional operator and you're into pre-investing, and not just paying per use, then FortiSIEM is one of the best options you can have.

I rate this product an eight out of 10. 

I use the latest version of Fortinet FortiSIEM. We have deployed Fortinet FortiSIEM on VMware.

Overall, I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM a seven out of ten.

My advice to others that might want to implement this solution is to know their business needs. There are other solutions, such as Splunk that can provide a lot more information when collecting data but it might not be needed for their use case. A small business would not need all the extra features of Splunk.

I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM an eight out of ten.

The solution has a lot of network solutions in its bucket. As a result, they provide excellent network strength. I advise others to know the product well before implementing it. I rate it as an eight.

In terms of how the tool supports our company's compliance monitoring and reporting practices, I would say that it stems from the fact that Fortinet FortiSIEM is able to serve what our company's customers want while also having the ability to offer solutions, making it quite easy for us to give the customers what they want. The fact that the solution helps my company provide the reports that my customer wants is actually nice. The tool also offers customization ability.

The features of Fortinet FortiSIEM that I find most effective for real-time security event correlation are real-time server connections, which allow me to see all the servers that are online at a particular period of time. The product also shows the threats and bifurcates them into high, medium, and low. The solution has the ability to generate reports easily. The product also provides specific solutions for any threats that are found.

The way Fortinet FortiSIEM improves my company's security posture stems from the fact that with the tool, I can see whatever is happening in real-time. In terms of security issues, if I try to see the problem or threat, then I can really dig deep into what is happening, which is a nice feature.

The tool is easy to maintain. Only two people are required to maintain the solution.

If I compare the integration capabilities of ArcSight with Fortinet FortiSIEM, I would have to say that the latter is in a better position to provide its customers with more details in terms of cybersecurity threats or if they want to compare the firewalls. Fortinet FortiSIEM is better for customers with no cybersecurity knowledge since it helps them understand the product. Fortinet FortiSIEM is better for the security of its customers.

I would ask those who plan to use the Fortinet FortiSIEM to see whether there are other solutions with which it needs to interact in their environment. Fortinet FortiSIEM is one of the best solutions I have dealt with, considering that it has a nice user interface. The update page is good and works in real time. The firewall part of the tool is good. I don't think there is anything that can cause problems for the tool's firewall. I actually liked the tool's firewall.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

I would highly recommend it. It's a top-tier solution, receiving a solid ten out of ten rating.

My needs are not getting met with this solution so I would not recommend it to anyone and rate it four out of 10. 

Before fitting the product into your environment, make sure you have the right requirements.

I would rate Fortinet FortiSIEM a 9 out of 10.

My advice to others thinking about implementing this solution is if your organizational budget is low, then we go for Fortinet FortiSIEM. Otherwise, if we have enough budget, I would recommend IBM QRadar and or other solutions.

I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM a six out of ten.

We started using Fortinet FortiSIEM because we were recommended to use it by a trusted source.

My advice to others would be to carefully look at the cost involved, and look closely at the licensing model. If it's a model that works for you, then great. However, it came as a surprise to us, we were told that we would be giving different licenses for the devices, and for the Windows Agent separately. We were not expecting the additional costs, it caught us off guard.

I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM a six out of ten.

My advice would be to know this solution, and study it well to avoid mistakes.

The configuration is simple, not complex. It's a very good product. I have not experienced any issues with it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

If you're using it for multi-tenant solutions, it will be pretty good, but it won't support running more than 20 clients on the same platform. It would need more resources. Even if you are implementing it for multi-tenant solutions, you would need implement fewer clients on it so that it has to use less effort.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate it at eight.

My advice would be to come up with a game plan to figure out exactly what devices or what system to focus on. Then (once you become familiar with reporting, alerting and tuning) integrate more devices/systems into Accelops.

If you are considering Fortinet FortiSIEM for your organization, write down what alerts are important to you, which devices deserve to be monitored, and which logs you really need. You will need to customize all of this. If you have all of this detailed, the implementation process will be easier.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten overall.

I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM a seven out of ten.

You always have to do your due diligence. I'm pretty sure a lot of the other competition is just as capable, however we deal with aircrafts, which is a different, unique beast. It enables us to understand an aircraft or sat-com network infrastructure, so it's not like a traditional type of log file that you have to normalize.

Some companies work with Windows desktops and servers, but we don't. Again, be sure to do your due diligence because whether Accelops is right for you depends on your use case. Make sure also that you have an MSSP model like we do so that you're able to deliver for your customers.

We are very impressed with this product. However, they have to fix their backup and recovery procedure and provide a good DR service without charging for a secondary license.

I would rate this solution a seven and a half out of ten.

Any of the top SIEM tools like this is going to give you a lot of information and that in itself is the challenge. There's so much information that you need to have at least one person who's dedicated almost full-time to it.

Everyone's implementation will be different, so be very focused and deliberate in what you want to monitor, because you can inundate the system.

I rate this solution a five out of ten. It is not as good as other solutions like QRadar, but it's cheaper than other products and very simple. In the next release, the visibility should consist of simple and standard protocols.

Regarding advice, if you don't have a dedicated team to handle your logs, don't have a big budget, and want a solution to correlate and collect logs from many vendors, Fortinet FortiSIEM is an excellent choice.

I would give FortiSIEM a rating of seven out of ten.

I would advise others to start small and plan for future growth. 

I would rate Fortinet FortiSIEM an eight out of ten.

We use the on-premises deployment model.

I'd recommend this solution to companies that have a FortiGate firewall and are on a limited budget. 

I'd rate the solution six out of ten.

Watch the sizing requirements for the virtual machines and quantities needed to support the environment. Make sure you get sign-off from Accelops on proposed the configuration and load for what’s being planned on the deployment.

I would advise others this solution is easy to use and has a lot of features. They should try it out.

I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM a seven out of ten

I think the biggest thing to understand is that it’s like a Swiss Army knife. You get a lot of tools for a lot of things, but don’t expect it to be a killer app in any one area.

We're a public utility, so we just use the solution. We don't have a business relationship with the company.

We use the latest version of the solution.

We use a variety of Fortinet solutions at our organization. For example, we integrate the complete AWS cloud space into that all FortiSIEM.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations, especially those that are cost-conscious. Compared to there solutions' it's rather easy to implement.

I'd rate the solution overall seven out of ten.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the product at an eight. It's been a pretty positive experience overall. I'm still learning the solution and discovering new things about it, however, it has everything I need at the same time. 

We are actually a reseller service company and we are dealing with the solutions for our customers. We are using the SIEM solutions. We are not a user, we are a reseller.

We have many customers. Not all may be using the latest version of the solution.

I would recommend the solution.

In general, I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use the public cloud deployment model.

I like the product, and I would recommend it, but I much prefer Splunk.

The beautiful thing about Fortinet is that they have integrated many, many solutions. Their platform is very powerful. In the case of the customer, if he decides to choose Fortinet, he'll largely be stuck with that one vendor. Fortinet does integrate with a few other vendors, but it's best if you use only their solutions. It's more efficient, you have more manageability and you get more value that way.

I would rate the solution seven out of ten.

Properly review this solution and your requirements. See how it will scale up to cloud requirements. Cloud technologies are becoming more prominent and you should see how you will be able to manage it with this tool.

It's a good product but you need to be well trained. If you don't have good training then you won't maximize the benefits of this product. 

I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

I rate FortiSIEM seven out of 10. 

I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM an eight out of ten.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten. Our clients have been very happy with the solution.

I would rate Fortinet FortiSIEM a ten out of ten.

I rate Fortinet FortiSIEM a seven out of ten.

We use an on-premises deployment model from our perspective and a hybrid model from a customer/user perspective.

I will recommend this solution to others out there looking for a SIEM solution. I've already done a few events we were talk about FortiSIEM and its advantages. I do, however, think the main dashboard where you create and design your graphs could do with some improvement improved. On a scale from 1 to 10, I will rate this solution an 8 to ensure there’s continuous improvement.

Just do your research – the product does a lot, but it may be more than you’re looking for. Also, be aware that it requires a lot of time to maintain, set up, and configure.

They have released a new update recently. With the help of AVPN, users can log in from another country directly using CIM-based predefined rules. Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses.

I recommend other users to go with Fortinet FortiSIEM and rate the product an eight out of ten.

This is a good solution but is fairly new so the support for it is not effective. Their support team does not have the experience to immediately solve issues. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

Make sure you size the solution to the number of devices and servers on the network. Don’t be afraid to add additional workers.

Try to avoid using WMA formats for log retrieval of the busy servers; this is extremely resource-intensive. Price out the event forwarding engine that they offer and add it to your budget.

I will definitely recommend this solution to others. I am still exploring it, as it is new to us. I need more time to analyze it further.

I would rate Fortinet FortSIEM a seven out of ten.

It would be to get as good an estimate as you can of what EPS's you’ll need before you get pricing and so forth. We underestimated what we would need, which is what precipitated ordering additional licensing and not being able to get them right that.

The interface is  easy to use but initial setup is not . The connector in the core has FortiSIEM support from the vendor. FortiSIEM supports a lot of vendors. It is a good product for us.

I rank it as eight on a scale from one to ten. because It doesn't support a lot of vendors and also the FortiSIEM still not common to use with fortinet partner maybe they doesn't give adequate training.

I advise that you should plan your financial resources and plan the platform. Also, be sure to test the performance ability, as well as scalability. 

Please do a PoC.

I would rate it a nine out of ten. The configuration should be equal with the GUI interface. 

I would give this solution a rating of seven out of ten.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. They should implement better behavior monitoring features to make it a perfect ten. It should also have better integration with their own products. They have a lot of interfaces for other products but it's not so easy to integrate their own devices. 

I would recommend this solution to someone considering it.
