Why these ratings?
Cyberse perspective
Summary by Cyberse
Microsoft Sentinel may be considered a good fit for you due to its powerful capabilities.
Here’s a few tips on how to maximize its capabilities:
We use the following criteria to rate this product’s functionality:
Cost considerations
Cortex XSIAM is priced at a similar level to Splunk and is viewed by many buyers as expensive, with additional fees for data ingestion and add-on modules; reviewers note it costs more than rivals like CrowdStrike and Microsoft Sentinel. Licensing combines per-endpoint and per-GB tiers, so charges rise quickly as data volumes grow, and some integrations must be purchased from partners, adding hidden costs. Published evidence of analyst-time savings or sub-18-month payback is limited, so ROI is still unverified.
Functionality
Cortex XSIAM includes hundreds of pre-built playbooks and a drag-and-drop builder. AI links cloud, network and endpoint data to trigger automated, bidirectional actions, and built-in case management and dashboards track investigation and SOC performance.
Compatibility
Over 900 maintained marketplace integrations give Cortex XSIAM plug-and-play links to SIEM, EDR, ITSM and chat tools. A published REST API and webhooks allow connecting additional systems without code changes.
User experience
Many reviewers highlight modern dashboards and straightforward navigation, noting “Ease of Use” as the most-cited benefit while only a small subset ask for UX improvements. Some users say the first-time setup and tuning take effort, which suggests a short learning phase rather than ongoing complexity. Compared with other security-automation tools that rely on scripting or dense consoles, Cortex XSIAM gives analysts clear logs and guided workflows, so a score of 4 fits the rubric.
Customer support
Cortex XSIAM customers have 24 × 7 phone and email support, with critical cases answered in under an hour and high-priority issues within two hours. A global team is reinforced by a large online knowledge base and peer community that provide quick self-help options. Premium tiers advertise 15-minute responses, but the standard SLA misses the sub-30-minute bar and public materials do not show proactive playbook health checks, so support sits at level 4
