Makes Branch Network Infrastructure management to be very efficient and simpler

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.

Very good SIEM

It's a great system overall, except for a few bugs and the fact that the reporting could be improved. 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.

good data collector

With this product this year we have found threats and we have been able to respond in time and isolate the problem, it has been very helpful in our network

Pros

It is a very good product for the early detection of threats in your network, you can collect data to respond correctly and quickly.

Cons

some knowledge is needed to implement, it may be that you need help from your provider, this would be the only thing that could say negative
