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 automation capabilities significantly improve response times by allowing us to respond to incidents from a single dashboard rather than navigating multiple dashboards."
"The most valuable feature is the integration capability."
"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 flexibility for creating manual workflows stands out."
"I would give Cortex XSIAM a rating of ten out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"The product integrates seamlessly with third-party solutions."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."

Cons
