Fortinet FortiSIEM Other Solutions Considered

HamedWasel - PeerSpot reviewer

Other vendors like IBM QRadar are more effective than FortiSIEM for a SOC use case because they specialize in that area. I would recommend that if you are trying to build a large SOC team.

I am using only Fortinet and Wazuh currently. I have worked with AlienVault and IBM QRadar in a different organization. The products have their own unique space in the market. SolarWinds has a logging engine. IBM is huge.

We implemented Fortinet FortiSIEM for our own use, and then we have been exploring the idea of using it for a customer-facing or a managed service provider multi-tenant SIEM. We offer managed SIEM services to our customers, and we've come to the conclusion that it is not well suited for that purpose. We are in the process of installing Microsoft Sentinel and Azure Lighthouse for a new service.

We took a look at IBM QRadar, which was the main competitor, and we also looked at Splunk. Splunk lost out quickly because of the cost and we ended up going with Fortinet because it was much easier to manage and implement things than QRadar and it has the Python scripting.

I think that QRadar and RSE are better solutions than SIEM. The interactivity, scalability, and performance are far better than Fortinet.

We did consider Sentinel in Azure because it is almost free.

We evaluated two other solutions before choosing Fortinet FortiSIEM. The graphical user interface is better in Fortinet FortiSIEM.

We did evaluate Splunk before choosing this solution, but it was too much on the high end for our business model.

We knew we needed an SIEM tool, and actually looked at Accelops a year ago. At the time, it just wasn't stable enough and we didn't quite have the funding. Now, we did another review and Accelops came out on top with some improvements and better pricing. I found the initial money and had extra budget for ongoing maintenance.

Our clients also evaluate other solutions such as Rapid7, McAfee, and LogRhythm. We have always been a Fortinet enterprise. We have people with Fortinet and other certifications in the industry, such as EasyConsole certifications. We can also support this solution for the Fortinet sites. That is the main differentiator between us and other vendors.

We evaluated AlienVault and SolarWinds. These were both within our limited budget, but we chose FortiSIEM because it integrated seamlessly with FortiGate firewall.

We didn't evaluate other options as this was a direct, suggested replacement to MARS.

We didn't previously look at other solutions. We saw that Fortinet fit our needs, and therefore we chose it.

I did not evaluate other options; this solution was the decision of the customer. However, in the past, I have evaluated and worked with Splunk and IBM.

We ran a PoC for Accelops for a trial period, so we didn’t look as much into other products.
