Unified security monitoring has simplified incident response and improved automated threat handling
The firewall side can make some improvements. I know the firewall on Cortex XSIAM is based on Windows. From what I have experienced so far, I have seen that the policies you can create are actually very in-depth. I mean, you can do most of the things and a lot of integration that you actually want. So if I want to choose to send things to WildFire, for example, I can choose to send it, I can choose to not send it. This basically offers flexibility to implement Cortex XSIAM in more standardized places where you maybe have a certification. I would say that the thing that maybe needs a bit more improvement is the fact that the one with the firewall because I have seen some things there that are kind of hard to manage. You do not really have a very easy way to manage those, unless you actually know where you have put them. So it is very inflexible. In the rest, you have a lot of playbooks that you can do and you can do lots of automation, which is actually easy to manage from what I have seen from my colleagues.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It does a better job of identifying anomalies that are more likely to be incidents of compromise without as many false positives or false negatives."
"Cortex XSIAM enhances our ability to apply endpoint protection policies, implement restrictions, conduct scans, and engage in sandboxing."
"The advanced visualization capabilities of the product are important for understanding security trends in an organization."
"The most valuable aspect is that Cortex XSIAM doesn't generate excessive alerts, refines all search results effectively, and filters out incidents where SOC intervention isn't necessary, allowing engineers to focus only on what matters."
"The automation capabilities significantly improve response times by allowing us to respond to incidents from a single dashboard rather than navigating multiple dashboards."
"The way the solution responds to detections and warnings is really impressive."
"Since implementing Cortex XSIAM, incident response times have been significantly reduced by approximately twenty percent."
"I would give Cortex XSIAM a rating of ten out of ten."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform provides a more straightforward implementation that is better than Splunk and offers an AI-based platform with machine learning and deep learning capabilities."
"We only recently started using Seceon, so we aren't taking advantage of all its features yet. We have enabled some proactive alerts about utilization and bottlenecks from high traffic."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform notifies only genuine alerts. It offers plenty of options that are suitable for MSPs."
"It offers a holistic approach with multiple solutions blended into one platform."
"The solution is very cost-effective compared to Splunk and LogRhythm."
"It is effective because it has threat intelligence from across the world and constantly checks and updates for new threats."
"The solution is stable."
"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."
 

Cons

"Cortex could improve the detection and online resolution of security vulnerabilities."
"The main area for improvement is the user interface intuitiveness - specifically how quickly users can grasp the portal functionality."
"The platform isn't very developer-friendly and it should provide more flexibility and ease."
"The support could be a bit faster."
"At the beginning, we experienced some difficulties setting up the product with connectivity and infrastructure, but ultimately it functioned really effectively."
"Cortex XSIAM is pretty expensive, and the licensing process is not very comfortable compared to CrowdStrike."
"At the beginning, we experienced some difficulties setting up the product with connectivity and infrastructure, but ultimately it functioned really effectively."
"I would rate the overall stability a six or seven, as we have only used it for a few months and need a year of experience to provide a full assessment."
"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."
"For small to medium-sized customers, Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is good. However, for large enterprises, it is not as effective."
"The management console could use some enhancements."
"The dashboard has always been an issue."
"It would be better if they offered global coverage."
"The SOP they provided wasn't great. They offered training over Sherp Virtualization, and the Seceon leadership visited our location to explain everything in detail, but the documentation and training could be better. It isn't as effective as it could be. There's some room for improvement there."
"It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions."
"The product should improve the triggering rate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, we found Cortex XSIAM to offer a very reasonable and competitive rate."
"The product cost could be considered value for money compared to other solutions in the market, though it is quite high."
"The solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
"The solution comes at a significant cost."
"Since Palo Alto is trying to get as many new customers as possible, they're offering very competitive pricing."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."
"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."
"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
