IT infrastructure analyst Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A tool that allows us high visibility of our network and devices" June 24, 2022 5.0 We have been using this tool for two years now and it has helped us to have more visibility of the threats or possible threats that we could have in our network, as well as having reports of the devices that are part of our infrastructure and that it needs to comply with security standards, as well as being able to fulfill the role of auditor when required. Pros What I like the most about this tool is its potential to be able to monitor, discover and collect information from the devices on our network, which makes it a powerful tool for collecting information that will later be helpful in detecting abnormalities and threats in our network. infrastructure Cons At the moment I have nothing negative to add to the tool since it has worked very well for us and is fulfilling its role.

The only big issue is the fact that since they lack support engineers, it can take a very long time to get anything resolved when there is an issue. Pros Very straightforward and it makes it very easy to manage alerts. Cons It's extremely difficult to build custom reports and the support is mediocre - they do not have enough ressources. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Sentinel](https://www.capterra.com/p/219068/Azure-Sentinel/) Reason for choosing FortiSIEM Fortinet integration was our biggest priority. Review Source IM Ilario M.

Network Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes Branch Network Infrastructure management to be very efficient and simpler" October 30, 2019 5.0 FortiSIEM has allowed us as an organization to scale office branches and manage them efficiently without over-spending on transportation and extra resource acquisition in terms of human resources and we can simply manage and support branches from a centralized location for almost all support issues raised. Pros First and foremost, i specifically like its robustness and flexibility and can accommodate most network infrastructure devices. By offering one centralized management point, administrators and users and react and act on support issues in different branches, update device firmware and manage devices much simpler. These ability to manage different devices in different branches from one centralized console proves to also be a big factor economically and no extra resources are needed to visit the branches in different geographical locations nor any extra IT staff needed. Cons As good as FortiSIEM is, unfortunately it best works and can be fully utilized best when dealing with Fortinet Products. Connection from different network infrastructure products is great but in some cases prove to be hectic when trying to support and resolve support issues. Reason for choosing FortiSIEM FortiSIEM is a market leader and proved time and time again of how efficient it is. Review Source RM Ricardo M.

This solution allows me to have all the events that happen in all my network equipment from the different vendors. Cons As good as FortiSIEM is, it unfortunately works better and can be used better when it comes to Fortinet products. Connecting different network infrastructure products is great, but sometimes hectic when it comes to providing support and resolving support issues and it takes a bit of time and effort to fully understand and implement the tool correctly.
