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."The connectivity and analytics are great."
"It has a lot of great features."
"The ability of all these solutions to work together natively is essential. We have an Azure subscription, including Log Analytics. This feature automatically acts as one of the security baselines and detects recommendations because it also integrates with Defender. We can pull the sysadmin logs from Azure. It's all seamless and native."
"Its inbuilt Kusto Query Language is a valuable feature. It provides the flexibility needed to leverage advanced data analytics rules and policies and enables us to easily navigate all our security events in a single view. It helps any user easily understand the data or any security lags in their data and applications."
"The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities."
"It is able to connect to an ever-growing number of platforms and systems within the Microsoft ecosystem, such as Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365 or Office 365, as well as to external services and systems that can be brought in and managed. We can manage on-premises infrastructure. We can manage not just the things that are running in Azure in the public cloud, but through Azure Arc and the hybrid capabilities, we can monitor on-premises servers and endpoints. We can monitor VMware infrastructure, for instance, running as part of a hybrid environment."
"Microsoft Sentinel provides the capability to integrate different log sources. On top of having several data connectors in place, you can also do integration with a threat intelligence platform to enhance and enrich the data that's available. You can collect as many logs and build all the use cases."
"What is most useful, is that it has a good connection to the Microsoft ecosystem, and I think that's the key part."
"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 solution is easy to deploy."
"The product’s stability is good."
"I am satisfied with the product overall."
"It is a scalable solution. I would rate scalability a ten out of ten."
"From the security team's standpoint, the solution has improved our organization's overall cybersecurity."
"Many different playbooks are available and can be customized."
"The solution provides threat intelligence with EDR."
"It provides us with a single portal for our logs from different solutions."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the support."
"The technical support from Swimlane is very good."
"Sometimes, it is hard for us to estimate the costs of Microsoft Sentinel."
"I believe one of the challenges I encountered was the absence of live training sessions, even with the option to pay for them."
"They should integrate it with many other software-as-a-service providers and make connectors available so that you don't have to do any sort of log normalization."
"I would like to see more AI used in processes."
"Multi-tenancy, in my opinion, needs to be improved. I believe it can do better as a managed service provider."
"If their UI was a bit more streamlined and easy to find when I need it, then that would be a great improvement."
"The AI capabilities must be improved."
"Microsoft Sentinel is relatively expensive, and its cost should be improved."
"The formats are not compatible, are readily not available, and are not readable."
"It's only one cloud right now. It might be helpful for some companies to have an on-premies option."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the pricing model."
"In terms of improvement, it needs to be more modular. It's not. When you're working in layouts and you create specific apps within layouts, there's no portability right now in order to reuse that code across multiple layouts. I can't take a tab and say I want to use this tab on these other layouts. I have to physically go in there and recreate it from scratch, which is maddening."
"The dashboard could be better."
"There should be an on-premise version available for customers to have different choices."
"They should provide integration with machine learning platforms."
"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."
"We faced a lot of issues with the product’s stability."
"The initial setup and deployment are complex."
"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
