    Palo Alto was slightly cheaper, but more complex and would need the training to be effective. Splunk was comparative from a price standpoint, but the automation features of Rapid7 InsightConnect outweighed those of Splunk SOAR. Honestly, all of these are great choices, but …

    Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOARRapid7 InsightConnect
    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.

    Where Rapid7 InsightConnect excels is in environments needing the whole suite of virus protection and monitoring. In our environment we use it to make sure we have visibility over all endpoints, servers, hosts, and clusters to make sure that there are no vulnerabilities being left unattended too. It is also best in large environments. Since there are many endpoints, the automation from Rapid7 helps manage them all in an efficient manner.

    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.

    • It would be great if Rapid7 InsightConnect could be configured based on pre determined specifications when installing the agent.
    • We've noticed that at times, there are certain network parameters needed in order for Rapid7 to collect and report data efficiently.
    • Sometimes there are issues with the discovery scan in Rapid7 making it hard to configure in the beginning.

    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.
