FortiSOAR vs. Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR

Most organization with medium & maturity SOC struggle with alert fatigue & false positives with addressing alert volume is result in increasing risk of critical alerts being masked by trivial one , in this situation FortiSOAR help in case management : rapidly response in case of crises also. FortiSOAR is designed very well where Fortinet have other stack of security component also like Fortinet NGFW & Forti SIEM etc.. Fortinet NGFW can and generate the FortiSOAR instance through FortiCloud for Customer . However In absence of FortiFabric it require lot of connectors to work well the solution.

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.

• Training Services- Fortinet offers courses geared towards administration and designed and development of FortiSOAR , Which required multiples access , we need all training services with self pace basis , I think here Fortinet need to improve.
• Licensing Model- Being as a new technology Licensing model should be crystal & Clear, be it Concurrent Users or The number of FortiSOAR nodes there should be no ambiguity .

• 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 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.

It was much easier than we all anticipated.

Done prove of concept (POC) thoroughly , where we judged the solution on every aspect & We came to know FortiSOAR will work well in our environment as it is blended with features like Case managements , Product Flexibility * Scalable Architecture . These features were much required to optimum use of our SOC solution. Since we have all the Fortinet security stack in our environment it helped us a lot in selection (POC) and also commercially.

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.
