What do you like best about Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR?

Pretty good perfomance on a very large environment like ours with 65,000+ Cortex XDR agents. We have it integrated with IOCs from Recorded Future and Sekoia CTI feeds, which works pretty well for us. We have playbooks to adjust incidents score and severity based on IOC risk score obtained through the integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR?

Reporting can be improved and wish for more customization options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saves a lot of manual work on incident management. Our playbooks make it easier for the GSOC analysts to prioritize incidents based on incident score, which the playbooks update based on feeds from third-party CTI sources. We developed a playbook to automatically email weekly reports which include Excel attachments containig all Cortex XDR agents deployed at each site. This allows the local IT admins to take actions to fix or reinstall the agent when it may get corrupt or stop communicating. The Cortex XSOAR also helps automatically closing False Positive incidents, runs Cortex malware scans and our cyber security analysts can focus on more critical incidents.

What do you like best about Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR?

Easy-to-use GUI, out-of-the-box scripts for most of the automation tasks, and supported integration packs for almost all the tools (at least from security perspective) help automate complicated and repetitive tasks quickly yet efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR?

This solution requires a dedicated team to create and modify the playbooks and other underlying configurations (mapper, classifier etc.). The pre-built playbooks are too generic to be used directly and require quite a few changes, instead of which one can work on creating a new one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps automate complicated and repetitive tasks, which saves a lot of upfront time while working on security investigations. We also leverage the platform as a ticketing solution to gather alerts from different security tools also for alerts; most of the details collect via automation which helps determine the next course of action quickly.

What do you like best about Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR?

The Out of the Box content like Integrations for many security stacks or from multiple vendors will definitely reduce the custom efforts and its an easy adoption to the Analyst due to its User-friendly UI, Designing the playbooks is very easy and reduces the manual work by Automation, XSOAR will reduce the air gap on Security investigation and save SLA's for any type of alerts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR?

The licensing part of the xsoar is a little costly matter and the response/delivery for any type of Future Requests for common and high-demand automation is a little slower(which needs to be improved)

There are no Best practice documents on System Optimization or Playbook optimization etc.

No proper troubleshooting docs for the System notifications which triggered on the system Diagnostics page Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
