Centralized metrics have improved risk visibility and now guide daily security decisions
One feature I would love to see in Cortex.io is more advanced real-time threat detection and automated alerting. I feel that this is very important, especially tailored for vulnerability severity and risk prioritization. Currently, Cortex.io provides excellent scoreboards and insights, but having real-time security alerts tied directly to risk levels, with automatic escalation and suggested remediation actions, will make the platform even more powerful in my opinion. This matters because it bridges the gap between observability and active security response, helping prioritize high-severity risks automatically, which can cut down the time spent manually correlating metrics and alerts. One area for Cortex.io's improvement could be deeper automation and actionable recommendations. For example, the automation prioritization for vulnerabilities by risk could have more remediation actions based on historical issues, and also more security tools for real-time alerts.

Allows us to save automated answers to the most popular customer queries
In the past, we used help desk programs which did not do much to increase our sales funnel. All that changed with LiveChat. We are able to create a knowledge base, create tickets, and allow agents to collaborate on creating tickets, thereby improving the correspondence time and the quality of feedback that we provide to customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features Cortex.io offers are the dashboard, which is very detailed, and the fact that you can run different kinds of testing such as application security testing, vulnerability management testing, and cloud security testing, allowing you to see the levels and rankings of how vulnerable those situations are, including the risk factors."
"The visibility feature has helped our teams by resulting in a 75% reduction in mean time to restore, allowing us to get alerts and incident history instead of relying on scattered spreadsheets and unreliable tools, thus saving around 15 to 20 hours per newly created service."
"Cortex.io has positively impacted team collaboration because it provides clear visibility into service health, security posture, and operational metrics."
"Customer Service: Top notch! The support team is available all the time and have been able to solve all our questions instantly."
"We can attribute most of our high ticket sales to this software."
"It truly does what I need it to do and anything else I would say, I would be making it up."
"Through the capabilities of LiveChat we are able to fully customise each live chat implementation to suit the goals of our clients."
"I majorly love the ticket and knowledge base features, which allow us to save automated answers to the most popular customer queries."

Cons

"One feature I would love to see in Cortex.io is more advanced real-time threat detection and automated alerting."
"I wish Cortex.io could cater to smaller teams struggling with visibility and operational toil, as a lighter version would be really great."
"I have not seen a return on investment, so I cannot share relevant metrics."
"I'd like to be able to create teams and filter the reports by team, in addition to the ability to currently filter by group, date, agent, tag etc."
"There have been times where Live Chat's servers have had DDOS attacks and have made communication difficult."
"The service needs to be more popular than it currently is."
