Integration challenges highlight the need for manual workflows
The standard integrations are very limited, and the integrations available are not listed in the marketplace. Obtaining validation for integrations from Palo Alto takes around eight months, which is quite long. The solution would benefit from having more standard playbooks and templates available, as in other partners. Currently, everything must be created from scratch. In terms of incident response automation, it is quite poor due to the lack of integration with all security tools, making manual intervention necessary.

Endpoint protection has delivered full visibility and has strengthened zero-day attack defense
The benefits from the product include that Singularity Platform provides complete end-to-end visibility on our malware protection and our ransomware protection across our desktops, endpoints, and thin clients and VDI environments, allowing us to control zero-day protection across our environment. There is no need to do any signature patch or anything; we only updated the sensor and fine-tuned the policy here and there during the implementation. We focus on prevention and detection instead of only detection, and we do quarantining as well, leading to complete end-to-end protection across our desktops, laptops, and thin clients and VDI environments. The real-time personalization feature provides protection against zero-day attacks. Real-time monitoring is very much available in Singularity Platform because once the agent is up to date, it protects critical assets across our network against malicious attacks. Malicious attacks pose a big challenge as if someone downloads malicious files, we face risks. Once an EXE file with vulnerabilities is detected during installation, it will be quarantined, indicating how effective real-time functions are in those scenarios.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the integration capability."
"The automation capabilities significantly improve response times by allowing us to respond to incidents from a single dashboard rather than navigating multiple dashboards."
"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 flexibility for creating manual workflows stands out."
"The product integrates seamlessly with third-party solutions."
"Its ability to deliver a substantial amount of security intelligence greatly enhances and optimizes our security operations program."
"The flexibility for creating manual workflows stands out."
"Singularity Platform's real-time personalization feature has helped our customer experience strategies by allowing us to have different workspaces where we have custom views, and depending on the use case because we have many products that use Singularity Platform, they interact with the UI in different ways, producing different elements and giving us tailored views for different products."
"Singularity Platform allows us to have one single view of potential threats and the health of our environment, helping us optimize operational efficiency."
"The main benefits the end-user gets from Singularity Platform are, first, the program itself being very small, and then we get better output from applications running on their systems."
"I believe Singularity Platform is perfectly fine overall."
"During the time of attacks, if there is any data loss, we were able to easily roll back those attacks and retrieve that data for the client with a single click."
 

Cons

"The support could be a bit faster."
"The first impression is that XSIAM would be more expensive than others we tried."
"Cortex could improve the detection and online resolution of security vulnerabilities."
"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."
"The standard integrations are very limited, and the integrations available are not listed in the marketplace."
"Further integration capabilities with various other software products that can seamlessly tie into Cortex XSIAM would be advantageous."
"Cortex XSIAM is pretty expensive, and the licensing process is not very comfortable compared to CrowdStrike."
"Cortex XSIAM is on the expensive side and requires substantial improvement in pricing."
"From an operational perspective, the customizable dashboards are easy to use, but I face concerns with the alerts from the email ticketing system."
"The dashboards can be improved, and their dashboarding functionality needs to be better. The way the dashboards look is not really impactful or meaningful."
"The first thing I would say about the negative side of Singularity Platform is that it lacks some customization and integrations compared to competitors."
"In my opinion, the real-time monitoring capabilities in Singularity Platform sometimes work and sometimes they don't, because there are a lot of false positives and people use unsigned applications which get deleted or quarantined by the product."
"Sometimes, these customized solutions our developers develop also get flagged in real time, and the processes get stopped and are blocked, and we have to whitelist the processes."
 

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."
"Since Palo Alto is trying to get as many new customers as possible, they're offering very competitive pricing."
"The solution comes at a significant cost."
"The solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
