The cost of Cortex XSIAM in the India market differs from other regions. When considering competition, from a sales perspective, the pricing is acceptable.
The licensing cost of Cortex XSIAM is more or less the same as Splunk, making it quite expensive compared to other tools. There are additional expenses for more functionalities.
Cortex XSIAM is pretty expensive, and the licensing process is not very comfortable. CrowdStrike licensing is easier and follows an annual recurring revenue model, unlike Cortex XSIAM.

The product is very expensive. Additional integration and support are not provided by Cortex and must be purchased from partners. This adds to the cost and delays projects due to resource dependency.

For example, opting for add-ons like Managed Threat Hunting from Palo Alto Networks or Identity Threat Analytics would incur extra expenses.

The first impression is that XSIAM would be more expensive than others we tried.
We do not deal with licensing. Only the accounts team handles that information.
The product cost could be considered value for money compared to other solutions in the market, though it is quite high. I rate the pricing a nine.
The standard licensing is positive. The number of logs ingested into Splunk was primarily driving its cost up, and that is not as much of an issue with Palo Alto as it was with Splunk.
I would rate the solution's cost a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.
The solution is expensive compared to its competitors.
