User Testimonials
	FortiSIEM	Powertech Event Manager
Likelihood to Recommend	Fortinet 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.

Pros	Fortinet Log aggregation and analytics CMDB Device inventory and remote management . It can be used by Managed Security Providers who have multiple customers as it offers multi organization support . Incentivized Eric V. Zarghami Deputy CIO Read full review	Fortra No answers on this topic
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. Incentivized Eric V. Zarghami Deputy CIO Read full review	Fortra No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Fortinet Other SIEM solutions were cost prohibitive at the time of purchase (2016). Just like any other SIEM, it helped draw a better picture of our current security posture. Incentivized Eric V. Zarghami Deputy CIO Read full review	Fortra No answers on this topic
