"I am satisfied with the product overall.""The solution is easy to deploy.""The Palo Alto ecosystem has a marketplace offering integration with Sentinel or other products.""It is a scalable solution.""The solution is user-friendly and easy to configure.""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.""It is a scalable solution.""For organizations that are stable with their security operations, like those with around 50 members in their security team running full-phased operations 24/7, Cortex is necessary."

More Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR Pros →

"Probably the most valuable feature of CB Response is its ability to isolate a host and take it off the network, so it's not spreading anything. We have two security operations centers around the globe. When an SOC analyst sees something on an endpoint, they can use Carbon Black Response to isolate that host from the customer's environment and prevent any kind of lateral spread.""The market information they gather from the community is really good. Their configuration capabilities are good.""Threat hunting is the most valuable feature of VMware Carbon Black Cloud.""It is nice when you're in a situation where you think someone's device is compromised and that there's some malware getting into your fleet.""VMware Carbon Black Cloud is a user-friendly solution that can isolate machines from the rest of the network.""The most valuable feature of VMware Carbon Black Cloud is the possibility of securing any PC worldwide.""The most valuable features are its lightweight design, ensuring minimal impact on end-users, and its real-time protection.""We also took full advantage of its incident response reporting capabilities to act as a “black box” for our infrastructure around strings of suspicious activity. The reporting and incident response capabilities were incredibly helpful during active security concerns."

Cons
"What could make IBM Resilient better is if IBM increased the number of built-in integrations with different products from other vendors or third-party products.""The product must provide more integration with other tools.""IBM Resilient is quite complex, including its configuration.""The tool needs to improve its documentation on license scripts.""The initial setup is complex.""IBM Resilient could integrate better with my tools.""Its price needs improvement.""One thing to improve is how it handles data formats, which currently might require scripting for conversion to CSV before uploading."

More IBM Resilient Cons →

"The solution’s price and technical support could be improved.""Previously, when Demisto was, there was a community edition; we could use it, reinstall it, and customize it. Since Palo Alto took over, it has become more financially oriented. It's business, but they could offer a pro model and a lighter model for different needs.""We need a little hands-on experience to install the solution.""Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR lacks to offer SIEM functionalities currently.""I think they should increase their collaboration base.""Its dashboard features need improvement.""The solution's technical support could be better.""The solution is complicated to learn."

More Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR Cons →

"The solution's support could be improved.""They need to improve the batch console. It needs more capabilities. We are limited by the ones it provides...""The product detects too many false positives initially and it could integrate better with other security solutions.""It's not simple.""Training and education for both partner and customer, including product marketing need to be improved.""The support team of Carbon Black CB Response needs improvement. At present, they need a lot of information. Then they give you an answer that they already gave you. You tell them it didn't work, and then they take a long time.""The solution needs to simplify the process of adding custom watchlists, as well as embrace YARA for rule creation.""Additionally, it is complex to use, and the pricing should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is very expensive."
  • "There is a license you need to pay for in order to use this product."
  • "The licensing cost for IBM Resilient is not too expensive, but it's not affordable, so it's moderately expensive. Regarding price, I'm rating the solution seven out of ten. The company pays for the license yearly, based on the number of users. Apart from the cost of the license you need to pay for each user, you also need to spend an initial investment for the base platform. You also have to pay for IBM Resilient support."
  • "We could create unlimited users using the license we had purchased."
  • "I would rate the tool’s pricing a three out of ten. The tool’s pricing is on a yearly basis."
  • "Pricing for the solution is good, in my opinion."
  • "The cost of the product is quite high."
  • "I feel it is an expensive product when my company pays annually for renewal, support, and follow-up."
  • More IBM Resilient Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There is a perception that it is priced very high compared to other solutions."
  • "From the cost perspective, I have heard that its price is a bit high as compared to other similar products."
  • "There is a yearly license required for this solution and it is expensive."
  • "It is approx $10,000 or $20,000 per year for two user licenses."
  • "When I first looked at Demisto, it had a price tag of $250,000 but when we finally purchased it, it was $345,000."
  • "The price of Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR is expensive."
  • "The price of Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR is comparable to other solutions in the market."
  • "The solution is based on an annual licensing model that is expensive."
  • More Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We had no issues purchasing through our preferred reseller and were able to get a fair price even when not purchasing direct. Carbon Black Enterprise Response didn’t break the bank, though adding on the matching antivirus and anti-malware components of the Protect product was more than we could afford, even with some discounting. Cb Response is really designed to complement Carbon Black’s Defense product. While Response can be used on its own, coupling with Defense seems like the best strategy if you can afford the price tag."
  • "Purchase Professional Services up front as part of the implementation package, then renew hours annually to ensure you have adequate support for upgrades and enhancements. Overbuy by at least 10% to account for infrastructure growth."
  • "Pricing for this solution could be made lower."
  • "The solution is very inexpensive so there is great cost savings to using it."
  • "You need to pay for the licensing of the product. The pricing is costly."
  • "VMware Carbon Black Cloud is an expensive solution."

    Overview

    The Resilient Incident Response Platform (IRP) is the leading platform for orchestrating and automating incident response processes.

    The Resilient IRP quickly and easily integrates with your organization’s existing security and IT investments. It makes security alerts instantly actionable, provides valuable intelligence and incident context, and enables adaptive response to complex cyber threats.

    Palo Alto Networks delivers a complete solution that helps Tier-1 through Tier-3 analysts and SOC managers to optimize the entire incident life cycle while auto documenting and journaling all the evidence. More than 100+ integrations enable security orchestration workflows for incident management and other critical security operation tasks.

    Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR is a piece of Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response software that redefines what it means for a program to orchestrate security in an automated manner. It is a next-generation solution that offers all of the features of dozens of siloed security operations center tools in one place. Cortex XSOAR combines case management, automation, real-time collaboration, and threat intelligence management to create a platform that can handle all aspects of system security. Teams that make use of Cortex XSOAR can expect to cut the number of issues that they will have to deal with by 75%. At the same time, the speed at which they resolve those issues that slip through will rise by 90%.

    Cortex XSOAR ensures that all of the IT and security tools that you employ function as a unified system. It does this by employing hundreds of integrations that allow you to run a wide variety of programs at once without ever worrying about them interfering with each other. These integrations are limited only by your imagination. They can be used immediately as they are, if that is what you need. However, they can also be customized according to the requirements of your system. This approach provides you with the maximum levels of both flexibility and utility.

    The model that this platform uses is based on a machine learning algorithm. The level of automation allows you to provide more than an unchanging and inflexible blanket of coverage. Cortex XSOAR takes all of the data that it gathers and uses it to expand its protective capabilities. This creates recommendations that you can use to create a threat playbook that can be deployed uniformly throughout your organization.


    Benefits of Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR

    Some of Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR’s benefits include:

    • The ability to have all of your data collected in a single location. Valuable time can be saved now that everything that security analysts need to know in order to diagnose and react to threats has been centralized.
    • Security operations center tasks can be automated. This allows you to assign management and analyst staff to the most essential tasks. The effectiveness of your organization will be increased, which will result in a rise in your company’s overall security and productivity.
    • Many kinds of data can be stitched together by this platform. Network, endpoint, cloud, and identity data can be combined to offer a more complete picture of the threats that are discovered.
    • Integrated threat intelligence management can notify you about threats in real time. Now you can diagnose and address issues as they arise. You can also assign values to the threats so that your resources are being used in the most effective manner possible.


    Reviews from Real Users

    Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR’s centralized monitoring interface and automation are two features that help it stand out. This might help explain why one quarter of the Fortune 500 companies choose Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR over the competition.

    Peerspot users note the effectiveness of these features. One user wrote, “We were looking for a single pane of glass type of solution that would allow us to physically be in one appliance - be able to work in concert with other servers that we have within our environment. We wanted orchestration and automation. The single pane of glass was the most important part.” Another noted, "The automation part and the playbook creation part are awesome. The way it is responding to the customers and incidents is also very good. In the SOC environment, I guess it will carry out around 50% of the work."

    Fortify Endpoint and Workload Protection Legacy approaches fall short as cybercriminals update tactics and obscure their actions. Get advanced cybersecurity fueled by behavioral analytics to spot minor fluctuations and adapt in response. Recognize New Threats Analyze attackers’ behavior patterns to detect and stop never-before-seen attacks with continuous endpoint activity data monitoring. Don’t get stuck analyzing only what’s worked in the past. Simplify Your Security Stack Streamline the response to potential incidents with a unified endpoint agent and console. Minimize downtime responding to incidents and return critical CPU cycles back to the business.
