We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR and Swimlane 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."One of the most valuable features is that it creates a kind of a single pane of glass for organizations that already use Microsoft software. So, when they have things like Microsoft 365, it is very easy for them to kind of plug in or enroll those endpoints into the Azure Sentinel service."
"The analytics has a lot of advantages because there are 300 default use cases for rules and we can modify them per our environment. We can create other rules as well. Analytics is a useful feature."
"The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because unlike legacy SIEMs that were on-premises, it does not require as much maintenance."
"The analytic rule is the most valuable feature."
"I believe one of the main advantages is Microsoft Sentinel's seamless integration with other Microsoft products."
"The most valuable feature is the onboarding of the workloads. You can see all that has been onboarded in your account on the dashboards."
"It's easy to use. It's a very good product. It can easily ingest data from anywhere. It has an easily understandable language to perform actions."
"The repository of playbooks and the integration between Palo Alto and IBM QRadar are some useful features"
"They have a portal where you can find any kind of integration that you need."
"I have no complaints about Cortex's stability."
"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 quite scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR are its overall track record and features that fit our use case."
"The automation is excellent."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"The technical support from Swimlane is very good."
"It provides us with a single portal for our logs from different solutions."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the support."
"Add more out-of-the-box connectors with other SaaS platforms/applications."
"Sentinel can be used in two ways. With other tools like QRadar, I don't need to run queries. Using Sentinel requires users to learn KQL to run technical queries and check things. If they don't know KQL, they can't fully utilize the solution."
"There are certain delays. For example, if an alert has been rated on Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, it might take up to an hour for that alert to reach Sentinel. This should ideally take no more than one or two seconds."
"We have been working with multiple customers, and every time we onboard a customer, we are missing an essential feature that surprisingly doesn't exist in Sentinel. We searched the forums and knowledge bases but couldn't find a solution. When you onboard new customers, you need to enable the data connectors. That part is easy, but you must create rules from scratch for every associated connector. You click "next," "next," "next," and it requires five clicks for each analytical rule. Imagine we have a customer with 150 rules."
"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."
"If I see an alert and I want to drill down and get more details about the alert, it's not just one click. In other SIEM tools, you just have to click the IP address of the entity and they give you the complete picture. In Sentinel, you have to write queries or use saved queries to get details."
"Microsoft Sentinel is relatively expensive, and its cost should be improved."
"If Sentinel had a graphical user interface, it would be easier to use. I would also like it to be more customizable."
"The solution's technical support could be better."
"They should provide integration with machine learning platforms."
"I would love to see more flexibility on what we can display and design on the dashboards."
"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."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The solution’s price and technical support could be improved."
"With Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR, managing its setup phase can be a complicated task."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the pricing model."
"The initial setup and deployment are complex."
"We faced a lot of issues with the product’s stability."
"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
