Find out in this report how the two Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Investigations are something really remarkable. We can drill down right to the raw logs by running different queries and getting those on the console itself."
"The automation feature is valuable."
"The part that was very unexpected was Sentinel's ability to integrate with Azure Lighthouse, which, as a managed services solution provider, gives us the ability to also manage our customers' Sentinel environments or Sentinel workspaces. It is a big plus for us. With its integration with Lighthouse, we get the ability to monitor multiple workspaces from one portal. A lot of the Microsoft Sentinel workbooks already integrate with that capability, and we save countless amounts of money by simply being able to almost immediately realize multitenant capabilities. That alone is a big plus for us."
"The in-built SOAR of Sentinel is valuable. Kusto Query Language is also valuable for the ease of writing queries and ease of getting insights from the logs. Schedule-based queries within Sentinel are also valuable. I found these three features most useful for my projects."
"The UI-based analytics are excellent."
"The ability of all these solutions to work together natively is essential. We have an Azure subscription, including Log Analytics. This feature automatically acts as one of the security baselines and detects recommendations because it also integrates with Defender. We can pull the sysadmin logs from Azure. It's all seamless and native."
"The analytic rule is the most valuable feature."
"It has a lot of great features."
"The tool is stable. The initial setup is straightforward. The product is user-friendly."
"I like the integration capabilities of Phantom. It has a lot of integrations with other products. Its searching methodologies are also good. It is also easy to understand and easy to create playbooks."
"Very flexible integration with other tools"
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the API connector, depending on how it's formatted and who made the actual app offering for it. The REST API is my favorite component. It's very easy to use. The filters are also really valuable. Those are the two primary features but I enjoy using the rest of it."
"Before its use, analyzing each email would take at least 15 to 20 minutes, with some complex cases taking up to 30 minutes...With the automation provided by Splunk Phantom, we could significantly reduce the amount of time and human effort required to complete this task."
"The solution allows us to customize playbooks and incorporate custom code, allowing us to drag and drop elements while still writing code to build the integrations we need."
"I'm just a beginner on the solution and it's pretty easy for me to use."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk SOAR that stands out is it has a great SOAR. The automation and orchestration module is highly mature. A lot of use cases are on user entity and behavioral analytics (UEBA), which is artificial intelligence and machine learning-based (AIML)."
"The solution could improve the playbooks."
"The troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"Not all information shows up in Sentinel. Sometimes there are items provided in 365 and if you looked in Sentinel you would not see them and therefore think they do not exist. There can be discrepancies between Microsoft tools."
"If we want to use more features, we have to pay more. There are multiple solutions on the cloud itself, but the pricing model package isn't consistent, which is confusing to clients."
"Sometimes, it is hard for us to estimate the costs of Microsoft Sentinel."
"The playbook development environment is not as rich as it should be. There are multiple occasions when we face problems while creating the playbook."
"The product can be improved by reducing the cost to use AI machine learning."
"We do see continuous improvement all the time, however, I haven't got a specific feature that is lacking or not well designed."
"The technical support should be improved."
"The cost of Splunk SOAR has room for improvement."
"What we have seen is if the workflow gets halted or if we want to halt a workflow, it cannot be resumed."
"The algorithm and machine learning have room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."
"have put a number of ideas on the ideas.splunk.com site for feature requests for the Splunk SOAR product. I posted one of them about three years ago, which finally got implemented in the latest release that just got announced, so the time to implement new features and things like that is a little bit concerning."
"The pricing could be a bit more reasonable. It would be great if it were feasible for smaller organizations."
"Splunk's support for integration is subpar and has room for improvement."
"We've run into a few minor issues. Some of the playbook writing is a bit complicated. We've had a few hiccups with the source control. We'd really like to use GitHub deployment keys for a dedicated account. We haven't been able to do that. I think those are some of the major ones."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the UI."
