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.

Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its ability to deliver a substantial amount of security intelligence greatly enhances and optimizes our security operations program."
"Since implementing Cortex XSIAM, incident response times have been significantly reduced by approximately twenty percent."
"The flexibility for creating manual workflows stands out."
"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."
"It is an effective solution in terms of performance and functionalities."
"It does a better job of identifying anomalies that are more likely to be incidents of compromise without as many false positives or false negatives."
"The automation capabilities significantly improve response times by allowing us to respond to incidents from a single dashboard rather than navigating multiple dashboards."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"Customer Service: The service we've seen from NNT to date has been extraordinarily good."
"If you want to deploy a SIEM and you want it to be simple, and not deal with much maintenance or help from the OEM, then I would say that NNT is the one."
"The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
"The Change Tracker tool is very good and will reduce your overall workload."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
 

Cons

"The platform isn't very developer-friendly and it should provide more flexibility and ease."
"Cortex XSIAM is pretty expensive, and the licensing process is not very comfortable compared to CrowdStrike."
"The first impression is that XSIAM would be more expensive than others we tried."
"It could provide more integration with a large variety of products."
"I would say that the thing that maybe needs a bit more improvement is the firewall because I have seen some things there that are kind of hard to manage."
"At the beginning, we experienced some difficulties setting up the product with connectivity and infrastructure, but ultimately it functioned really effectively."
"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."
"Cortex XSIAM is on the expensive side and requires substantial improvement in pricing."
"For the NNT Log Tracker and Change Tracker, they have to make their knowledge base available online because there is very little information available on the internet."
"There are some issues with the stability - the correlation engine has failed multiple times, and the reports sometimes take too long, so we have to involve the tech team to get them."
"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
 

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."
"Since Palo Alto is trying to get as many new customers as possible, they're offering very competitive pricing."
"The solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
"The product cost could be considered value for money compared to other solutions in the market, though it is quite high."
"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
