"The ability to automate Splunk SOAR and customize the playbook use cases is the most valuable feature and is very exciting for me."
"Splunk integrates with so many products. It provides us with good information for us to be able to do our jobs."
"The product’s integration with other Splunk products is valuable."
"In Splunk SOAR, I find the playbooks valuable. We get to create multiple playbooks, and within each playbook, there is a different type of investigation attached to it, which helps out an analyst or new analysts coming on board."
"It helps increase efficiency and productivity."
"Very flexible integration with other tools"
"The solution’s dashboard is really good and customizable. It also has a good UI."
"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."
 

Cons

"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."
"The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"FortiSOAR needs to improve the response time for executing playbooks."
"Splunk's support for integration is subpar and has room for improvement."
"There are areas in Splunk SOAR that have room for improvement. To make Splunk SOAR a better solution, there could be better built-in debugging tools, smarter playbook suggestions, and enhanced lifecycle management."
"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 cost of Splunk SOAR has room for improvement."
"It would be ideal for us if Splunk SOAR could integrate with Teams."
"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."
"Various aspects of the playbook development process itself can be optimized."
"While there have been improvements to the investigation process, particularly with the playbook data, the current log review method is cumbersome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
"The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
"The price of the product should be lower. The brand value that Fortinet has, it has the reputation of being a reasonably priced product, and they have an enormous customer base in India. Most of the SME market is covered by FortiGate firewalls. It becomes an easy way for consultants, such as us, or even system integrators, to open the door with the Fortinet product lines."
"Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
"If you compare Fortinet FortiSOAR's price with the prices of the market leader, Palo Alto, then it can be considered a cheaper product."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
"Splunk SOAR is more expensive compared to other options for SOAR."
"Splunk is a fast enterprise tool, but it costs too much. At the same time, it's worth what we pay, in my opinion. We can efficiently perform all the functions and tie together the data. It's the perfect tool for our needs."
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
"It's very overpriced because it is based on the number of users. There is no bulk licensing."
"I found the price of Splunk SOAR to be good."
"The cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."
"Splunk SOAR is an expensive solution for an organization of our size."
"The tool is not cheap."
