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.

Unified security monitoring has simplified incident response and improved automated threat handling
The firewall side can make some improvements. I know the firewall on Cortex XSIAM is based on Windows. From what I have experienced so far, I have seen that the policies you can create are actually very in-depth. I mean, you can do most of the things and a lot of integration that you actually want. So if I want to choose to send things to WildFire, for example, I can choose to send it, I can choose to not send it. This basically offers flexibility to implement Cortex XSIAM in more standardized places where you maybe have a certification. I would say that the thing that maybe needs a bit more improvement is the fact that the one with the firewall because I have seen some things there that are kind of hard to manage. You do not really have a very easy way to manage those, unless you actually know where you have put them. So it is very inflexible. In the rest, you have a lot of playbooks that you can do and you can do lots of automation, which is actually easy to manage from what I have seen from my colleagues.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The custom Cypress queries in BloodHound Enterprise is the most valuable feature."
"It operates on a single, extensive database which enables it to excel in detecting threats and anomalies across the network and endpoints, delivering a highly effective and comprehensive security solution."
"Its ability to deliver a substantial amount of security intelligence greatly enhances and optimizes our security operations program."
"The product integrates seamlessly with third-party solutions."
"Since implementing Cortex XSIAM, incident response times have been significantly reduced by approximately twenty percent."
"The way the solution responds to detections and warnings is really impressive."
"The most valuable aspect is that Cortex XSIAM doesn't generate excessive alerts, refines all search results effectively, and filters out incidents where SOC intervention isn't necessary, allowing engineers to focus only on what matters."
"Cortex XSIAM enhances our ability to apply endpoint protection policies, implement restrictions, conduct scans, and engage in sandboxing."
"The automation capabilities significantly improve response times by allowing us to respond to incidents from a single dashboard rather than navigating multiple dashboards."
 

Cons

"A few months ago, there was a problem with the digesters having trouble importing data from the normal digesters, a significant issue that needed attention."
"Cortex XSIAM needs improvements in terms of data onboarding, parsers, and third-party integration supports."
"I am not sure if any improvements are needed right now."
"It could provide more integration with a large variety of products."
"The support could be a bit faster."
"Cortex could improve the detection and online resolution of security vulnerabilities."
"The standard integrations are very limited, and the integrations available are not listed in the marketplace. Obtaining validation for integrations from Palo Alto takes around eight months, which is quite long."
"I would rate the overall stability a six or seven, as we have only used it for a few months and need a year of experience to provide a full assessment."
"There is room for improvement in expanding integrations to include more cybersecurity solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
