Pros
"It integrates well with other solutions and provides good threat intelligence in terms of external threats.""The logs play a crucial role as they contribute to blocking unwanted Internet traffic.""I am impressed with the tool's integration of Palo Alto products which serves as a platform for security.""The feature that I like best is the dashboard.""The most valuable feature is alerting."

"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features.""It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap.""The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them.""This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled.""This is a good security product.""We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential.""Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried.""The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."

Cons
"It would be better if they used the threat intelligence feeds directly from their side and changing the verdict instead of us requesting it.""It would be helpful to have better documentation for configuring and installing the solution.""It is a completely cloud-based product at present.""I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate.""I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring."

More Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus Cons →

"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher.""I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions.""The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need.""Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes.""It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud.""I'm not aware of any lacking features.""We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time.""The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
