Cortex XSIAM offers thousands of pre-built playbooks and a visual drag-and-drop builder, while AI models link alerts from cloud, network, and endpoint sources and trigger two-way actions through hundreds of integrations. Cortex XSIAM also supplies case management workspaces and dashboards that report response times, playbook success, and other performance metrics.

Cortex XSIAM offers more than 700 prebuilt, vendor-supported connectors and an open REST API, so most popular SIEM, endpoint, ticketing, and chat tools connect out-of-the-box without coding. The large marketplace means future tools can be added quickly through maintained content packs. This breadth minimizes integration projects and lowers ongoing maintenance risk.

G2 reviewers highlight that Cortex XSIAM’s dashboards and visual builders make everyday investigations straightforward. Other reviews note a challenging initial setup and a noticeable learning curve, so new analysts are seldom productive on day one
