The standard licensing is positive. The number of logs ingested into Splunk was primarily driving its cost up, and that is not as much of an issue with Palo Alto as it was with Splunk.

In terms of pricing, we found Cortex XSIAM to offer a very reasonable and competitive rate. We entered into a two-year contract with them, and the pricing aligned well with our budget expectations, comparable to what we had considered with Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel. It's worth noting that there are additional costs, depending on the specific add-ons an organization chooses to purchase. For example, opting for add-ons like Managed Threat Hunting from Palo Alto Networks or Identity Threat Analytics would incur extra expenses.
The first impression is that XSIAM would be more expensive than others we tried.
We do not deal with licensing. Only the accounts team handles that information.
The product cost could be considered value for money compared to other solutions in the market, though it is quite high. I rate the pricing a nine.

I would rate the solution's cost a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.
The solution is expensive compared to its competitors.
