We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR and Rapid7 InsightConnect 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 best functionality that you can get from Azure Sentinel is the SOAR capability. So, you can estimate any type of activity, such as when an alert was triggered or an incident was found."
"I believe one of the main advantages is Microsoft Sentinel's seamless integration with other Microsoft products."
"It is always correlating to IOCs for normal attacks, using Azure-related resources. For example, if any illegitimate IP starts unusual activity on our Azure firewall, then it automatically generates an alarm for us."
"The SOAR playbooks are Sentinel's most valuable feature. It gives you a unified toolset for detecting, investigating, and responding to incidents. That's what clearly differentiates Sentinels from its competitors. It's cloud-native, offering end-to-end coverage with more than 120 connectors. All types of data logs can be poured into the system so analysis can happen. That end-to-end visibility gives it the advantage."
"We can use Sentinel's playbook to block threats. It covers all of the environment, giving us great visibility."
"There are some very powerful features to Sentinel, such as the integration of various connectors. We have a lot of departments that use both IaaS and SaaS services, including M365 as well as Azure services. The ability to leverage connectors into these environments allows for large-scale data injection."
"Microsoft Sentinel comes preloaded with templates for teaching and analytics rules."
"The features that stand out are the detection engine and its integration with multiple data sources."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The automation is excellent."
"The product is quite easy to use."
"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 strengths of Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR stem from the fact that it provides functionalities related to patching and URL blocking...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR are its overall track record and features that fit our use case."
"Its agility and scalability are valuable."
"The tool is stable. The initial setup is straightforward. The product is user-friendly."
"I think the number one area of improvement for Sentinel would be the cost."
"Sentinel provides decent visibility, but it's sometimes a little cumbersome to get to the information I want because there is so much information. I would also like to see more seamless integration between Sentinel and third-party security products."
"Microsoft should improve Sentinel, considering that from the legacy systems, it cannot collect logs."
"They're giving us the queries so we can plug them right into Sentinel. They need to have a streamlined process for updating them in the tool and knowing when things are updated and knowing when there are new detections available from Microsoft."
"If Sentinel had a graphical user interface, it would be easier to use. I would also like it to be more customizable."
"I would like to be able to monitor applications outside of the Azure Cloud."
"Sentinel could improve its ticketing and management. A few customers I have worked with liked to take the data created in Sentinel. You can make some basic efforts around that, but the customers wanted to push it to a third-party system so they could set up a proper ticketing management system, like ServiceNow, Jira, etc."
"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."
"It is not a very scalable solution."
"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."
"Palo Alto needs to develop more AI-centric products."
"The user interface could be a bit better."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR lacks to offer SIEM functionalities currently."
"The solution is complicated to learn."
"It's only one cloud right now. It might be helpful for some companies to have an on-premies option."
"When Palo Alto bought the solution, the pricing increased by 1.5 times. There's been a 50% increase, which is a lot."
"The technical support should be improved."
