We performed a comparison between Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response and Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two SOC as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can effectively manage the massive amounts of security data that we receive from various sources such as firewalls, switches, endpoints, and other log sources."
"The agents give pretty good visibility into what is happening at the endpoint."
"The product provides integrations with several different SaaS applications."
"They provide useful quarterly updates."
"Security protection is the best feature of this product."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the managed detection and response component."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its ease of implementation."
"What's valuable about Arctic Wolf AWN CyberSOC is the cost savings it provides for companies that no longer have to hire a bunch of security people and pay for a SIM."
"What I like most about Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR is how user-friendly it is for development. It is much simpler to work with compared to similar tools I've used."
"I chose Cortex XSOAR because the client also has Palo Alto firewalls. I can incorporate the data from the Palo Alto firewalls into Cortex and send it into the same data lake to manipulate that data. It lets me manage and monitor the data in one place."
"We use the solution to automate our SIEM tools and incidents."
"It’s easy to install."
"It was useful as a ticketing tool."
"The automation is excellent."
"The drag-and-drop interface enables analysts with no programming knowledge to create playbooks easily."
"It is a scalable solution."
"If you are not in the security field, this can be difficult to figure out from time to time."
"I would actually be interested in having fewer features at a lower price."
"They focus on detecting administrator-level control compromises. Because they're focusing more on administrator-level compromise, they are less able to see if an individual user has been compromised. It is, admittedly, very difficult because they don't know what normal human behavior is. If a hacker compromises a human account and then acts just like the human, how are you ever going to notice, unless you have some inside knowledge of how the company works? For example, they overlook account lockouts on user accounts, whereas in our own alerting system, we do not. We review every account lockout, and if it is bad, we contact the person, whereas they think of that as noise because they're more focused on the administrator-level compromise."
"It would be great if the whole process of determining vendor risk could be simplified by Arctic Wolf."
"More integrations with various security tools to improve data ingestion would be beneficial."
"The implementation process could be a little more streamlined."
"In the future, I would like to see a summary report."
"They could probably expand on their integration tools. They can integrate with more security tools."
"The solution's correlation rules and playbooks should be improved."
"It doesn't offer automatic internet reports out of the box."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR could improve the Panorama feature. We had to turn it off because it was not working properly."
"The configuration of the solution could improve it is difficult."
"Implementing this solution requires a lot of involvement from the vendor and it should be made easier for the partners."
"In terms of improvement, it needs to be more modular. It's not. When you're working in layouts and you create specific apps within layouts, there's no portability right now in order to reuse that code across multiple layouts. I can't take a tab and say I want to use this tab on these other layouts. I have to physically go in there and recreate it from scratch, which is maddening."
"It is not a very scalable solution."
"It's only one cloud right now. It might be helpful for some companies to have an on-premies option."
