Hasan Abufreiha - PeerSpot reviewer
Has significantly influenced our security strategy as it helps us plan attacks and take initial steps in compromising networks
I haven't explored cost-saving aspects or utilized integration capabilities within BloodHound. Additionally, I haven't used AI features in Broadcom for threat detection yet, leaving that to our IT team to handle. If you're already familiar with the field, learning to use BloodHound Enterprise shouldn't be too tricky as the UI is user-friendly and the features are straightforward. I'd rate my overall experience around an eight, mainly due to occasional performance issues and deeper operational concerns. However, in terms of features, UI, and ease of use, it's top-notch.
AKASH MAJUMDER - PeerSpot reviewer
Incident response times have significantly reduced with efficient device integration and log parsing capabilities
Cortex XSIAM needs improvements in terms of data onboarding, parsers, and third-party integration supports. Additionally, a future update request is to enable tagging of endpoints in groups, similar to a feature available in Cortex XDR. The AI analytics need fine-tuning because some use cases are not working from my side.
