Comprehensive coverage, no vendor lock-in, and best customer relationship
Before Anvilogic, we had no visibility into our detection coverage. The ability to break it down by industry verticals, such as attackers and adversaries, is valuable. Detection insights help us easily identify the most noisy ones, the effective ones, and what needs to be fixed to move the noisy ones to effective ones. The hunting capabilities are very good. The AI components and hunting packages give us quick insights into what needs to be looked at. The partnership has been very good. Their professional services and customer relationship have been very good. Our features and bugs have been fixed on time without a lot of follow-up, and their support has been excellent. Finally, there is a feature within Anvilogic that provides the threat landscape or our effectiveness towards the threat landscape on an ongoing basis. That is another feature that we liked.

A robust security operation that ensures achieving automation, stability, and scalability
There is room for improvement in some areas, and I would highlight three key aspects. Firstly, the Attack Surface Management (ASM) module could benefit from more contextual depth. Currently, it tends to provide a broad overview without enriched context, and there's room for enhancement in this regard. Secondly, further integration capabilities with various other software products that can seamlessly tie into Cortex XSIAM would be advantageous. This would enhance its versatility and interoperability within a broader ecosystem. Regarding performance, there's potential for optimization. When multiple tabs are open in Cortex XSIAM, it can experience slowdowns, leading to longer load times for web pages. It's worth noting that this isn't a severe issue, and it doesn't entail waiting for extended periods, but there is room for improvement in terms of performance optimization.

Pros

"Before Anvilogic, we had no visibility into our detection coverage. The ability to break it down by industry verticals, such as attackers and adversaries, is valuable."
"One of the best things about Anvilogic is the partnership, their knowledge, the depth of technical understanding, and the speed at which they respond."
"The most valuable feature is the integration capability."
"I would give Cortex XSIAM a rating of ten out of ten."
"The automation capabilities significantly improve response times by allowing us to respond to incidents from a single dashboard rather than navigating multiple dashboards."
"The flexibility for creating manual workflows stands out."
"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."
"One of the valued aspects of the product is its use of artificial intelligence to detect security vulnerabilities."
"It is an effective solution in terms of performance and functionalities."
"The most valuable features of Cortex XSIAM are the machine learning used to identify threats, the complexity of the environment of products, and efficiency."
 

Cons

"The hunting insight needs integrable capability with different platforms to gather all of that insight and show it on a single canvas on Anvilogic. That is the only feature that could improve the way we do operations."
"The pricing is slightly edging towards being a bit much for smaller organizations."
"It could provide more integration with a large variety of products."
"The support could be a bit faster."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in expanding integrations to include more cybersecurity solutions."
"The first impression is that XSIAM would be more expensive than others we tried."
"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."
"Cortex could improve the detection and online resolution of security vulnerabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were an early adopter, so the pricing was definitely good. Because they do not completely replace a SIEM, their pricing is slowly edging towards being a little too much for a smaller organization like ours. It is almost on the border."
"Anvilogic's pricing has been highly competitive."
"The product cost could be considered value for money compared to other solutions in the market, though it is quite high."
"In terms of pricing, we found Cortex XSIAM to offer a very reasonable and competitive rate."
"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."
"The solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
