“Effective code scanning and SBOM, though workflow setup could be smoother”
Overall well please with Cortex Cloud in regards to the code scanning capabilities and SBOM generation. It's provided the capability of being a single pane of glass for auditing CI/CD pushes, secret scanning, full repo inventorying, and allowed us to start working to establish policy enforcement around the code commits and code scanning in the repos.

Centralized protection and reporting with improvements needed in integrations
Overall, Cortex Cloud serves its purpose well being a CNAPP with its coverage for Cloud DSPM, Client Workload Protections, Code Scanning and by presenting vulnerability information. Where it could be better is by staying modern with the integrated solutions that it offers. - Cybersecurity Specialist<50M USDIT ServicesReview Source
Solid cloud security platform with strong detection capabilities, though onboarding requires patience
Cortex has been a reliable addition to our security stack. The platform covers a wide range of threat detection scenarios and integrates reasonably well with our existing infrastructure. There's a learning curve during initial setup, but once configured, the day-to-day operation is smooth. - IS Engineering Manager1B-10B USDBankingReview Source
Centralized dashboard simplifies correlation, but SBAC controls feel limited
One of the best tool that i have worked in our organization. The Cortex Cloud will correlates all type of events, logs that as Posture, Identities, workloads, runtime, Vulnerability, DSPM, Shift left, etc. The best feature the tool having is the centralized dashboard where we can see all the integrated data at one place. - IT ASSOCIATE1B-10B USDManufacturingReview Source
Good solution but don't get too excited!
We had a lot of issues originally with network enforcement being enabled but it is stable now. There were (and still are) issues with certificate handling, especially for the SSL inspection feature which we had to implement a manual workaround, and it was really time consuming for our Security team.
