The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.

The most valuable feature of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is its advance analytics, flexibility and scalability. We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation. This makes it a robust and cost-effective solution for our needs. Its user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) are also integral for detecting insider threats and lateral movements within the organization. These features help organizations strengthen their security posture, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with strict regulatory requirements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats."

"The most valuable feature is auto-discovery. When you send logs from any device to port 514, it helps register those devices automatically."

"The solution’s IP database is awesome."

"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."

"It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security."

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."

"We find the solution to be stable."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM needs to provide better API integrations to users."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

"The most valuable feature is what Securonix calls enrichment. Securonix is very powerful because of all the data it can process and automatically enrich. The actionable intelligence it provides is one of its benefits, due to the processing capacity it has."

"One of the valuable features of Securonix is the auto-incident creation, which was not available two or three years ago."

"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."

"The solution is time-saving, particularly in the long run after it is deployed, enabling us to get value promptly."

"SNYPR has a bundle of features. It has the UEBA feature that tells you about the behavior of a person or entity. In the tool itself, there is an incident management feature, which is definitely valuable."

"When we were looking for products for our security monitoring needs, our biggest requirement was that we wanted something based on machine-learning and analytics. If you go with rules, it can raise a lot of noise. Securonix, with its UEBA capability, had the best analytics use-cases."

"We can select the resource group name or functionality directly of which type of security tool logs we want. We don't need to write the query for that; we just have to select."

"The feature that is most valuable is the fact that it's an open platform, so it allows us to modify policies and tune policies as needed. There's also a feature called Data Insights which allows us to create different dashboards on specific things of interest for us."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

Cons

"The nodes on our network did not comply with the SIEM solution. They use a different format parking log."

"When compared with some competitors, in terms of performance, the CPU and RAM requirements and the capability of coordination with development all need some improvement."

"We need to see incident reports about the event log, without events from the administrator or through human interaction."

"The challenge I face with Fortinet FortiSIEM is the lack of support."

"The solution's technical support didn't help our company a lot."

"Our customers are noticing configuration available in the GUI interface and I think that they should be equal."

"The interface needs some improvements because it's a bit cumbersome when you're trying to view items. It takes some time to get used to. Additionally, sometimes the scrolling does not work."

"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM cons

"The pricing. I'm not sure how they are proceeding with the identity based pricing compared with DB pricing which most of the vendors are using today."

"We thought they were going to be a great product, however, they're actually not great at all as an MSP."

"Parsing needs to be improved. Every time we integrate a new, specific data source, we face a lot of problems in parsing, even for the old data source."

"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."

"We have a lot of users who, because they're engineers and they're bringing down product data - where, at times, a top-level product could be 10,000 or 15,000 objects - it's difficult for us to determine what should be a concern and what shouldn't be a concern. We work with the Securonix folks to try to come up with better ways to identify that."

"When they did upgrades or applied patches, sometimes, there was downtime, which required the backfill of data. There were times when we had to reach out and get a lot of things validated."

"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."

"Securonix implements risk scores based on different policies that are triggered. We've seen some challenges with the risk scores and how they trigger. These are things that Securonix has recognized and they've been working with us to help improve things."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Manageable, however would be better as pay as you go versus CapEX."

"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."

"This is probably more on the lower cost end of the spectrum compared to competing products. Fortinet's license model is based on events per second, which makes sense, but that's not typical. It makes it very hard to calculate what your costs are going to be as you scale the platform because some log sources, such as firewall logs, are very noisy, and there are lots and lots of events per second, but some of them are not. So, it becomes a bit of a science experiment trying to guess what your costs are going to be as you scale the solution. This is where other competing products perhaps have a more straightforward license model."

"FortiSIEM's licensing is based on EPS, and its pricing is competitive in the market."

"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."

"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product. The free version license of the product is available for two months."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."

"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."

"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."

"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."

"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."

"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."

"Its pricing is quite similar to others and is very competitive. The other solutions have different types of licensing, but when you do the math, it is competitive."

"Its price is fine. We found it to be cheaper than LogRhythm, Exabeam, Splunk, as well as Elastic Security. A few months ago, when we were comparing Securonix with Elastic Security, we found Securonix to be cheaper than Elasticsearch. We were pretty surprised that Elastic Security is more expensive than Securonix because Elasticsearch is just starting, and it cannot compete with Securonix at this time. So, the pricing of Securonix is pretty good for now."
