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.

I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since implementing Cortex XSIAM, incident response times have been significantly reduced by approximately twenty percent."
"The flexibility for creating manual workflows stands out."
"The advanced visualization capabilities of the product are important for understanding security trends in an organization."
"The most valuable features of Cortex XSIAM are the machine learning used to identify threats, the complexity of the environment of products, and efficiency."
"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."
"The automation capabilities significantly improve response times by allowing us to respond to incidents from a single dashboard rather than navigating multiple dashboards."
"For me, to have Cortex XSIAM available is to basically have integration of all log sources, all alerting, and so on and so forth from firewalls and different tools, to get everything in one place, and afterwards to be able to build on the information that is coming."
"One of the valued aspects of the product is its use of artificial intelligence to detect security vulnerabilities."
"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
 

Cons

"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."
"It could provide more integration with a large variety of products."
"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."
"Further integration capabilities with various other software products that can seamlessly tie into Cortex XSIAM would be advantageous."
"The platform isn't very developer-friendly and it should provide more flexibility and ease."
"At the beginning, we experienced some difficulties setting up the product with connectivity and infrastructure, but ultimately it functioned really effectively."
"The solution’s pricing and technical support could be improved."
"At the beginning, we experienced some difficulties setting up the product with connectivity and infrastructure, but ultimately it functioned really effectively."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution comes at a significant cost."
"In terms of pricing, we found Cortex XSIAM to offer a very reasonable and competitive rate."
"The product cost could be considered value for money compared to other solutions in the market, though it is quite high."
"The solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
"Since Palo Alto is trying to get as many new customers as possible, they're offering very competitive pricing."
