We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR and Sumo Logic Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Another area where it is helping us is in creating a single dashboard for our environment. We can collect all the logs into a log analytics workset and run queries on top of it. We get all the results in the dashboard. Even a layman can understand this stuff. The way Microsoft presents it is really incredible."
"The analytic rule is the most valuable feature."
"The best functionality that you can get from Azure Sentinel is the SOAR capability. So, you can estimate any type of activity, such as when an alert was triggered or an incident was found."
"It has a lot of great features."
"The dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."
"We can use Sentinel's playbook to block threats. It covers all of the environment, giving us great visibility."
"I've worked on most of the top SIEM solutions, and Sentinel has an edge in most areas. For example, it has built-in SOAR capabilities, allowing you to run playbooks automatically. Other vendors typically offer SOAR as a separate licensed solution or module, but you get it free with Sentinel. In-depth incident integration is available out of the box."
"Sentinel also enables you to ingest data from your entire ecosystem and not just from the Microsoft ecosystem. It can receive data from third-party vendors' products such firewalls, network devices, and antivirus solutions. It's not only a Microsoft solution, it's for everything."
"The drag-and-drop interface enables analysts with no programming knowledge to create playbooks easily."
"I have found the solution very useful, it integrates well with other platforms."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR are the remote controller from the workstation that can execute commands and isolate the systems outside of the network. Only the system with an internet connection can execute the task because the main console is in the cloud."
"It is quite scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Palo Alto has gotten the investigators more presence to actually go in the report because being that the platform will email the investigator that it's been assigned to, now the investigators will jump in there and start going through the review process a lot quicker."
"I am satisfied with the product overall."
"Its agility and scalability are valuable."
"The Palo Alto ecosystem has a marketplace offering integration with Sentinel or other products."
"Technical support is always great."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"If Sentinel had a graphical user interface, it would be easier to use. I would also like it to be more customizable."
"The KQL query does not function effectively with Windows 11 machines, and in the majority of machine-based investigations, KQL queries are essential for organizing the data during investigations."
"We'd like to see more connectors."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
"The dashboards can be improved. Creating dashboards is very easy, but the visualizations are not as good as Microsoft Power BI. People who are using Microsoft Power BI do not like Sentinel's dashboards."
"Microsoft should improve Sentinel, considering that from the legacy systems, it cannot collect logs."
"When we pass KPIs to the governance department, there's no option to provide rights to the data or dashboard to colleagues. We can use Power BI for this, but it isn't easy or convenient. They should just come up with a way to provide limited role-based access to auditing personnel"
"They should just add more and more out-of-the-box connectors. It is quite a new product, and it has a lot of connectors, and even more would be good."
"XSOAR could have more integration options."
"I would love to see more flexibility on what we can display and design on the dashboards."
"There is room for improvement in support. The response time could be faster."
"It is been decommissioned by Palo Alto."
"When Palo Alto bought the solution, the pricing increased by 1.5 times. There's been a 50% increase, which is a lot."
"It is not a very scalable solution."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR could improve the look, feel, and management of the cloud console. Additionally, the user could be more easily integrated."
"The solution's technical support could be better."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"It would be nice to have an improved ability to scroll through logs within a time frame. Right now, we can search for specific errors. However, if we want to look for "before and after" within a specific time frame, it's not easy using the tool. This would be an improvement."
"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."
"It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap."
"I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
