We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSOAR and Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR 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."The solution has features that helped improve the security posture of our clients. It provides the ability to correlate a large variety of log sources very cost-effectively, especially for Microsoft sources."
"It is quite efficient. It helps our clients in identifying their security issues and respond quickly. Our clients want to automate incident response and all those things."
"We’ve got process improvement that's happened across multiple different fronts within the organization, within our IT organization based on this tool being in place."
"You can fine-tune the SOAR and you'll be charged only when your playbooks are triggered. That is the beauty of the solution because the SOAR is the costliest component in the market today... but with Sentinel it is upside-down: the SOAR is the lowest-hanging fruit. It's the least costly and it delivers more value to the customer."
"The pricing of the product is excellent."
"The most valuable features in my experience are the UEBA, LDAP, the threat scheduler, and integration with third-party straight perform like the MISP."
"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."
"The native integration of the Microsoft security solution has been essential because it helps reduce some false positives, especially with some of the impossible travel rules that may be configured in Microsoft 365. For some organizations, that might be benign because they're using VPNs, etc."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate."
"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"It has a quick detection and response time."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"We use the product for security."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is very reliable."
"The strengths of Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR stem from the fact that it provides functionalities related to patching and URL blocking...It is a scalable solution."
"The Palo Alto ecosystem has a marketplace offering integration with Sentinel or other products."
"I have no complaints about Cortex's stability."
"Cortex XSOAR's most valuable features are the playbooks, custom integration, the machine-learning model, and the layout, classifier, and mapper."
"I have found the solution very useful, it integrates well with other platforms."
"It’s easy to install."
"Sometimes, it is hard for us to estimate the costs of Microsoft Sentinel."
"Add more out-of-the-box connectors with other SaaS platforms/applications."
"If Azure Sentinel had the ability to ingest Azure services from different tenants into another tenant that was hosting Azure Sentinel, and not lose any metadata, that would be a huge benefit to a lot of companies."
"The data connectors for third-party tools could be improved, as some aren't available in Sentinel. They need to be available in the data connector panel."
"We do see continuous improvement all the time, however, I haven't got a specific feature that is lacking or not well designed."
"It could have a better API to be able to automate many things more extensively and get more extensive data and more expensive deployment possibilities. It can gain some points on the automation part and the integration part. The API is very limited, and I would like to see it extended a bit more."
"We are invoiced according to the amount of data generated within each log."
"The troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
"It's only one cloud right now. It might be helpful for some companies to have an on-premies option."
"The integration could be better. Cortex, for example, does not work with iPhone."
"They should provide integration with machine learning platforms."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"We need a little hands-on experience to install the solution."
"The solution is complicated to learn."
"For building automation, there is not a lot of good documentation. The documentation is there, but it is not very good from my perspective. There should be an improvement in this area. I don't see issues with anything else. In terms of new features, I have heard that other products have EBA functionality. It would be good if this functionality could be added."
"I would like to see Cortex become less dependent on Active Directory and group policies to manage the deployment. Maybe I need to update my understanding of how to deploy it, but that's the way I know how to use it."
