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 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 pricing of the product is excellent."
"The UI-based analytics are excellent."
"We have no complaints about the features or functionality."
"In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store"
"There are a lot of things you can explore as a user. You can even go and actively hunt for threats. You can go on the offensive rather than on the defensive."
"The most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high."
"The analytic rule is the most valuable feature."
"We use the product for security."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate."
"It has a quick detection and response time."
"The product can be automated for network security purposes. The solution offers a great security automation response."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies."
"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."
"Many different playbooks are available and can be customized."
"The most valuable features are simplicity and ease of integration."
"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."
"It was useful as a ticketing tool."
"The pricing is very good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is its capability to automate responses and collect information for any security event before you even delve into the details. It's a vast product with an active roadmap, so I'm satisfied with it for now. It's very efficient at data collection and correlation."
"We use the solution to automate our SIEM tools and incidents."
"I believe one of the challenges I encountered was the absence of live training sessions, even with the option to pay for them."
"It has been a challenge with Azure Sentinel to onboard the Syslog server from FortiGate. Azure Sentinel can work better on that shift between the Syslog server and a firewall."
"They need to work with other security vendors. For example, we replaced our email gateway with Symantec, but we couldn't collect these logs with Azure Sentinel. Instead of collecting these logs with Azure Sentinel, we are collecting them on Qradar. We couldn't do it with Sentinel, which is a problem for us."
"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."
"Its documentation is not so simple. It is easy for somebody who is Microsoft certified or more closely attached to Microsoft solutions. It is not easy for those who are working on open-source platforms. There isn't a central point where everything is documented, and there is no specific training or certification."
"We're satisfied with the comprehensiveness of the security protection. That said, we do have issues sometimes where there have been global outages and we need to raise a ticket with Microsoft."
"Given that I am in the small business space, I wish they would make it easier to operate Sentinel without being a Sentinel expert. Examples of things that could be easier are creating alerts and automations from scratch and designing workbooks."
"Sentinel's reporting is complex and can be more user-friendly."
"The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
"I don't currently see where the solution is lacking features. For us and for our clients it works very well and we're pleased with it."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"It is not a very scalable solution."
"The solution's technical support could be better."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR could improve the look, feel, and management of the cloud console. Additionally, the user could be more easily integrated."
"It doesn't offer automatic internet reports out of the box."
"There is room for improvement in support. The response time could be faster."
"The solution’s price and technical support could be improved."
"They should provide integration with machine learning platforms."
"The tool’s multi-tenancy feature must be improved."
