We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSOAR and Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR 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 analytics has a lot of advantages because there are 300 default use cases for rules and we can modify them per our environment. We can create other rules as well. Analytics is a useful feature."
"Mainly, this is a cloud-native product. So, there are zero concerns about managing the whole infrastructure on-premises."
"The machine learning and artificial intelligence on offer are great."
"The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities."
"Sentinel uses Azure Logic Apps for automation, which is really powerful. This allows us to easily automate responses to incidents."
"If you know how to do KQL (kusto query language) queries, which are how you query the log data inside Sentinel, the information is pretty rich. You can get down to a good level of detail regarding event information or notifications."
"I believe one of the main advantages is Microsoft Sentinel's seamless integration with other Microsoft products."
"We didn't have anything similar. So, it really provides value from the incidents and automation point of view. The overview of the security fabric is most valuable."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"We use the product for security."
"The product can be automated for network security purposes. The solution offers a great security automation response."
"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"I chose Cortex XSOAR because the client also has Palo Alto firewalls. I can incorporate the data from the Palo Alto firewalls into Cortex and send it into the same data lake to manipulate that data. It lets me manage and monitor the data in one place."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is quite scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Its agility and scalability are valuable."
"It has an extensive list of integrations that are available out of the box which makes it easy to start."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"The automation is excellent."
"The Palo Alto ecosystem has a marketplace offering integration with Sentinel or other products."
"While I appreciate the UI itself and the vast amount of information available on the platform, I'm finding the overall user experience to be frustrating due to frequent disconnections and the requirement to repeatedly re-authenticate."
"I would like to be able to monitor applications outside of the Azure Cloud."
"When we pass KPIs to the governance department, there's no option to provide rights to the data or dashboard to colleagues. We can use Power BI for this, but it isn't easy or convenient. They should just come up with a way to provide limited role-based access to auditing personnel"
"Everyone has their favorites. There is always room for improvement, and everybody will say, "I wish you could do this for me or that for me." It is a personal thing based on how you use the tool. I do not necessarily have those thoughts, and they are probably not really valuable because they are unique to the context of the user, but broadly, where it can continue to improve is by adding more connectors to more systems."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. It''s a small improvement that they could make if they wanted to."
"Documentation is the main thing that could be improved. In terms of product usage, the documentation is pretty good, but I'd like a lot more documentation on Kusto Query Language."
"If you're looking to use canned queries, the interface could be a little more straightforward. It's not immediately intuitive regarding how you use it. You have to take a canned query and paste it into an operational box and then you hit a button... They could improve the ease of deploying these queries."
"Sentinel still has some anomalies. For example, sometimes when we write a query for log analysis with KQL, it doesn't give us the data in a proper way... Also, the fields or columns could be improved. Sometimes, it is not giving the desired results and there is a blank field."
"The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices."
"I don't currently see where the solution is lacking features. For us and for our clients it works very well and we're pleased with it."
"The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
"It is been decommissioned by Palo Alto."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The dashboard could be better."
"The solution’s price and technical support could be improved."
"The solution should be made a bit cheaper."
"Corex XSOAR could be improved by reducing the time it takes to process large amounts of data and increasing the number of integrations."
"The integration could be better. Cortex, for example, does not work with iPhone."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR could improve the look, feel, and management of the cloud console. Additionally, the user could be more easily integrated."
