Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR Valuable Features

Donald Keeber - PeerSpot reviewer
President at Margate Net

I chose Cortex XSOAR because we use Palo Alto firewalls. My plan was to consolidate our log data from the Palo Alto firewalls and Cortex into a single pane of glass. However, this has not been the experience. The log data from the firewalls never correlates with the log data from Cortex. We still have seperate streams of information to examine. I have not found an easy way to get this to work. But I'm sure there is one.

The repository of playbooks and the integration between Palo Alto and IBM QRadar are some useful features. It is followed by a lot of people simply needing to reference it. So, it is very easy to use for people facing chat problems.

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.

What I like most about Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR is how user-friendly it is for development. It is much simpler to work with compared to similar tools I've used. If you can think of it, you can probably do it. However, there are some limitations, but speed isn't one of them.

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.

Sales engineer at MUK

It is pretty modern. 

It has a lot of integrations. They have a portal where you can find any kind of integration that you need. The ability to integrate with third-party vendors and solutions is great. 

They have a big amount of playbooks. These are a set of actions that you need to perform based on some exact incident. For example, if you find malware, you will need to block an endpoint. If you find a botnet that is connecting to your infrastructure, you will need to block this botnet on the firewall. This set of playbooks that XSOAR already has inside it is really huge, and it is also great for a lot of informational security or managers and engineers that can just choose what they need and not have to create anything from the scratch.

The initial setup is straightforward.
