Positions of Google, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, and Rapid7 in the new Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM 2025 report

Gartner has presented a new Magic Quadrant™ report dedicated to the SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solutions market. These solutions are the foundation of modern security operations centers (SOCs), providing comprehensive capabilities for detecting, investigating, and responding to threats in hybrid and cloud environments.

Gartner analysts evaluated 17 providers, focusing on their Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. In this article, we present a full breakdown of four key vendors featured in the report, whose solutions are available through the official distributor Softprom.

Google: Clear Leader

Google holds a position in the Leaders quadrant. The Google SecOps solution, available as SaaS, is the company's fundamental product for protecting enterprise clients, offering unparalleled capabilities for large-scale queries and analytics. Google is actively investing in Gemini AI for content generation, search, investigations, and threat analysis.

Strengths

• Robust Search and Queries: The SecOps platform excels at handling complex queries. A unified data model and the YARA-L query language provide high value in analyzing security signals within detection and investigation workflows.
• Enterprise and MSSP Readiness: Unified capabilities and multi-tenancy support make the solution attractive for global organizations, allowing for centralized management of use cases and distribution of detection rules.
• Powerful AI and Automation: The use of AI is a key competency for Google. SecOps offers strong AI functionality across many SIEM operations, complemented by well-integrated automation capabilities.

CrowdStrike: Strategic Visionary

CrowdStrike is positioned in the Visionaries quadrant. The company's product, Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, is offered as a SaaS solution and is well-known for its Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR offering, which now also supports SIEM management.

Strengths

• Simple Query Interface: The Next-Gen SIEM query interface offers advanced features, including threat intelligence enrichment, incident analysis, and threat hunting. Support for free-form queries (Charlotte AI) improves visibility for analysts.
• Incident Management: The solution provides in-depth incident and case management functionality. Analysts can collaborate, track workflow status, collect metrics, and assign tasks directly within the platform.
• Strength in Innovation: CrowdStrike demonstrates strong capabilities in IDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response) and AI-driven workflow extensions, highlighting the product's innovativeness.

Fortinet: Strong Challenger

Fortinet is in the Challengers quadrant. Its FortiSIEM solution is available in a cloud, on-premises, or SaaS model. Fortinet is developing its TDIR platform vision, investing in FortiCNAPP, FortiDLP, and other integrated security products.

Strengths

• Use of Third-Party Data: FortiSIEM supports real-time querying and display of data from third-party systems, such as data lakes, Amazon Web Services, and ODBC connections, providing enhanced distributed data integration.
• Built-in CMDB: A centralized configuration management database (CMDB) assists in discovering information about the IT infrastructure, including the organization's devices, users, and applications.
• Expanded Integrations: Over the past year, Fortinet has acquired several solutions (e.g., FortiCNAPP, FortiDLP, FortiMail Workspace Security) that expand the SIEM's capabilities for threat detection, investigation, and response.

Rapid7: Challenger

The SIEM solution from Rapid7, InsightIDR, is an integrated detection and response ecosystem. It is built on an interface that considers the roles of security specialists and is primarily analyst-oriented. The solution is developed and continuously tested in Rapid7's own SOC (Security Operations Center).

Rapid7's SIEM offering has always focused on helping security teams detect threats faster, reduce alert fatigue, and centralize investigation workflows. In July, Rapid7 launched the latest development in its SIEM lineup—Incident Command. This solution advances this vision by providing a unified platform for visibility, collaboration, and rapid response across the entire attack surface.

Strengths

• Role-Based Security Interface: InsightIDR's customization capabilities allow SOC engineers and analysts to better tailor rules and reports to their specific role-based needs.
• SMB Support: Rapid7's model is well-suited to the needs of SMBs, and its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service guarantees clients 24/7 support and monitoring.
• Broad Range of Integrations: The SIEM core offers numerous capabilities, including vulnerability management (InsightVM), as well as integrated EDR, UEBA, and NDR, creating a unified experience for SOC operators.
