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.

Cons

"The solution’s pricing and technical support could be improved."

"Further integration capabilities with various other software products that can seamlessly tie into Cortex XSIAM would be advantageous."

"The support could be a bit faster."

"The platform isn't very developer-friendly and it should provide more flexibility and ease."

"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."

"They need to focus on more of the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and coverage. They claim they cover about 70 to 80%. I'm not sure if it's really quite that much, however."

"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."

"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."

"We had a large volume right from the beginning and they weren't quite prepared for that. That's something that they should think about when it comes to customers that have a large volume to start off with."

"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."

"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."

"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
