    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.

    Most organization with medium & maturity SOC struggle with alert fatigue & false positives with addressing alert volume is result in increasing risk of critical alerts being masked by trivial one , in this situation FortiSOAR help in case management : rapidly response in case of crises also. FortiSOAR is designed very well where Fortinet have other stack of security component also like Fortinet NGFW & Forti SIEM etc.. Fortinet NGFW can and generate the FortiSOAR instance through FortiCloud for Customer . However In absence of FortiFabric it require lot of connectors to work well the solution.

    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.

    • Training Services- Fortinet offers courses geared towards administration and designed and development of FortiSOAR , Which required multiples access , we need all training services with self pace basis , I think here Fortinet need to improve.
    • Licensing Model- Being as a new technology Licensing model should be crystal & Clear, be it Concurrent Users or The number of FortiSOAR nodes there should be no ambiguity .

    Done prove of concept (POC) thoroughly , where we judged the solution on every aspect & We came to know FortiSOAR will work well in our environment as it is blended with features like Case managements , Product Flexibility * Scalable Architecture . These features were much required to optimum use of our SOC solution. Since we have all the Fortinet security stack in our environment it helped us a lot in selection (POC) and also commercially.
