If budget is an issue then Fortisiem fits well, as it's more than a typical SIEM solution. It can integrate with environmental monitoring systems, UPS HVAC etc. It can be used as the CMDB solution etc. If fine-tuned and looked after it can actually bring a lot of value for less.

The UI displays wells the deviations and anomalies using advanced threat intelligence so you have full control of your security ecosystem. We've used it for two years to secure our servers and we easily customize threat detections to reduce the stressful false positives. We fill the XDR AI with data and it correlates with incident data to deliver unmatched frontline security intelligence.

Cons
Fortinet
  • Non-intuitive/unattractive user interface
  • Too many features that will usually remain unused
  • Very crowded (too many icons) portal
  • The reporting feature is confusing, e.g. you have to click on the "refresh" button to get the result of your inquiry. The report generation process can be much easier, as the user interaction is not pleasant.

We've been fairly happy with FireEye Helix support overall. Most issues are resolved the same day the case is opened.

I find Helix to be super-efficient and able to cut through the noise. Previous installations of LogRhythm and Splunk resulting in an overwhelming amount of noise (out of the gate), and we had to constantly tune out false positives. Helix is different. Out of the gate, Helix provided higher fidelity hits, and our teams don't spend half their day turning out the noise.
