    User Testimonials
    Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOARSkybox Security
    Likelihood to Recommend
    Palo Alto Networks
    XSOAR is well suited for phishing detection and response. Phishing alerts are as much of a
    problem today as they were decades ago. This is because: ●Attackers Can leverage automation to launch high-quantity phishing attacks with the click
    of a button.
    ●Spear Phishing attacks are sophisticated and sometimes indistinguishable from real
    emails, resulting in compromise through human error.
    ●Security Teams aren’t able to follow set processes while responding to phishing alerts.
    They must coordinate across email inboxes, threat intel, NGFW, ticketing, and
    other tools. Each tool has different consoles, data conventions, and contexts,
    making it difficult for security teams to fill in the gaps while minimizing
    errors. XSOAR is less suited for analyzing traffic.

    Cons
    Palo Alto Networks
    • The XSOAR bot creates a lot of noise on the summary page of any XSOAR incident. Although the filter is available to reduce the view, by default this should not be visible cluttering the whole scenario.
    • The interface has too much data on a single pane. I would love to have many buttons to just click and do stuff.
    • Also, I would love to have search areas more interactive and easier to navigate.

    • User experience. On the first approach, it's not the simplest tool that I have ever used.
    • Web-based console. In my honest opinion it's very important [to have] this type of functionality to extend the use of Skybox.
    • Too many updates of the product.

    It has proven to be far to valuable and effective to consider getting rid of it. Until something better comes along, this is staying in our product stack.

    The support team needs to be improved especially in their response and awareness about recent bugs in their solution. For example, sometimes they are not aware about how to integrate specific vendors like Microsoft Azure and they still don't have answers to it until now.

    The quantity of integrations with security solutions is highest in Palo Alto Solution. The capacity to identify anomalous events is much better in Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR. The flexibility of increased storage area is better as well. The dashboard is very intuitive about showing the most important incidents and how to resolve them.
