Featured Reviews

Muhammad Aamir Riaz - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers open API for integrating any available tools without any recurring costs
Before committing, I recommend a Proof of Concept (POC) or demo first. This way, you can see if the product aligns with your specific use cases and security needs. Knowledge transfer is key, and D3 Security's team excels in this area. During the POC, your analysts gain valuable product knowledge, putting them ahead of the curve for deployment. In our case, the learning curve was steep initially, but by the end of the POC, my team was already building playbooks independently. D3 Security also schedules dedicated knowledge transfer sessions during the POC, making it a win-win for both parties. Since technology transfer is crucial for government entities like ours, this approach eliminates the need for additional learning after deployment, unlike with certain competitors like the Fortinet FortiSOAR case. While Fortinet FortiSOAR achieved the desired tasks, its knowledge transfer process was lacking, leaving us with a shaky foundation. D3 Security's approach solidifies the learning and empowers our team. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Mack Scott - PeerSpot reviewer
Improves response time by consolidating tools and automating threat detection
I haven't gone too far into it to see anything that needs improvement yet. We can likely include some features related to the integration with on-premises resources, rather than focusing solely on the existing automation. These are the additional features that could be included in the future. Splunk's Unified Platform does help consolidate networking security and IT observability tools. They should integrate Splunk Enterprise Security better into Splunk Cloud.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is an out-of-the-box automated integration with our 20 departments. We perform L1 LiveOps automatically through the portal."
"The solution's valuable feature is its GUI. It has more than 450 connectors, which are excellent for connecting devices and automating integration. The solution has all the features we need. We deployed it in our environment, and it's fully integrated. Thanks to their open APIs, the seamless integration makes everything work well together."
"Splunk SOAR has made a huge impact across security operations and the business overall."
"Splunk SOAR's extensive library of pre-built integrations allows it to connect with a vast array of popular security and IT applications, streamlining workflows across our existing security stack."
"It helps increase efficiency and productivity."
"The best feature is the integration and the custom Python code that we can write. Splunk SOAR provides us with both of these capabilities, allowing us to integrate different security solutions with Splunk SOAR and take remediation actions directly on those security tools."
"The customization continues to be excellent."
"The most valuable features of Splunk SOAR are the easy integration with other solutions, including other Splunk solutions. The most important playbooks we need on the market come already on the Frontend. However, nowadays, Splunk changed its name, it's not Frontend anymore, it's Splunk Store. This is a very strong point."
"Splunk integrates with so many products. It provides us with good information for us to be able to do our jobs."
"In terms of deployment, there were no issues. It was pretty seamless."
 

Cons

"Reporting needs improvement. MTTR and MTTD metrics aren't directly available in playbooks and require manual effort to achieve."
"The reporting, especially custom reporting, needs to be improved. Additionally, it would be better if it could be hosted on Linux."
"They should integrate Splunk Enterprise Security better into Splunk Cloud."
"It could be easier to implement."
"While support is available, the resources around Splunk SOAR are more homegrown by other users, and discovering different troubleshooting methods is harder to do with Splunk SOAR than with Enterprise Security or other Splunk services."
"They can improve on what they are currently doing. They can provide more playbooks or at least template playbooks that are in their repository."
"The tool's response is slower because it has to search through a huge dataset, which can be improved for latency."
"We want to see improvements made to the APIs such that we can connect to many different systems and data sources."
"Splunk SOAR has room to improve its offering for small-sized customers. The price is not fair for smaller-sized customers."
"Some of the training materials are on a basic level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I found the price of Splunk SOAR to be good."
"Splunk SOAR is an expensive solution for an organization of our size."

"I don't know the exact price, but for my region, it is very expensive."
"While I can't confirm the exact pricing, some colleagues have mentioned that Splunk SOAR may be on the costlier side."
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
"The cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."
