Inexpensive while enhancing security operations with intuitive automation tools
Usually, FortiSOAR is used for some of our security operation tasks where it is necessary to ascertain the integrity of threat vectors and then take action against them. In addition, we automate other processes within our security operations procedure through FortiSOAR FortiSOAR is really…

Offers playbook automation that helps reduce the manual and tedious work for users
When it comes to Splunk SOAR's ability to provide end-to-end visibility into our company's cloud-native environment, I would say that we are not using the cloud portions of it. I don't know if that's super relevant to what we are doing in our organization. I am 100 percent sure that Splunk SOAR helped reduce your mean time to resolve, but I don't have any metrics on hand but I know it has dramatically decreased. The tool has helped with the business resilience part. I think having it as a platform has been a solid portion of the product that we offer to people. Spunk SOAR has definitely saved my time in alert triage. When some of the tedious enrichment and lookup stuff happens, the analyst doesn't have to deal with such areas, and they can just jump in and see relevant data all in one pane of glass, which has been super helpful for speeding things up. The unified platform helps consolidate networking, security, and IT observability tools. The consolidation of tools impacts our organization as it just helps focus the SOC analyst on a single unified place to find information. It helps keep things streamlined and regular so they know where to look for certain stuff they want. It really helps people with training. It is a really easy tool to onboard people into because everything is right there in the product itself. The product is really great. I would love to see more SOAR innovation going into the tool, especially the on-premises version since it is what we use in our company. I feel the tool needs to encourage continuous improvements, but as a product itself, my company is really happy with the solution. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"Generally, the tool helps just automating a lot of manual load or repetitive tasks."
"The solution's most valuable feature is playbook creation, which allows us to integrate all data ingestion into the same platform."
"The playbook and the dashboard of FortiSOAR are really informative."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"The good news is that FortiSOAR is not hard to maintain. If you prepared well and deployed strong initially, then maintenance will take half an hour every other week, not more than that. A single person can do it."
"I like the way Splunk interacts with various systems via the API. The ability to integrate Splunk with our ticketing system has been an immense help because we can maintain our workflow while blending Splunk with our support desk and other ways that we track work."
"The playbooks are valuable. They are the core component. Being able to implement and build a code process to work through and scale out what we want to do is valuable."
"The most valuable features are the Splunk SOAR apps and playbooks."
"SOAR allows custom code to be written and integrates with various technologies through pre-built apps like Windows Remote Management or custom apps we can build ourselves like a secret retrieval app from our vault."
"I'm just a beginner on the solution and it's pretty easy for me to use."
"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."
"Workflow management is most valuable. It is easily customizable"
"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."
 

Cons

"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate."
"The tool's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
"FortiSOAR needs to improve the response time for executing playbooks."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"The dashboard could be improved and some other features. SOAR should integrate network capabilities, allowing us to also monitor the WLAN network. Splunk is also expensive and difficult for beginners to learn. It's hard for a new user to figure out how to visualize old threat data. It took two to three months to learn with hands-on experience how to use the dashboard, visualize events, and analyze threats."
"SOAR is probably the most unreliable product Splunk has and that's because most of it is content driven from what you put into it. There are certain parts of it that have a little bit of difficulty at volume too. It's always changing. There is new stuff coming out for it that's going to make it a little bit better, but it does have some drawbacks."
"Some of the training materials are on a basic level."
"Unfortunately, not all of our analysts are iPhone users or iOS users. The mobile app is only supported on iOS. Our analysts who have Android do not have that benefit. That would be a nice thing to have so that we can have it across the board and not just for iOS."
"Various aspects of the playbook development process itself can be optimized."
"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."
"Portability is one thing that is currently lacking. The open-source product that I evaluated had portability. It would require a lot of development effort, but it will save the cost of rewriting all the playbooks."
"Improving the integration ecosystem can raise the quality of the bottom tier of the integrations so that they can work better out of the box."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
"Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."
"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."
"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
"Splunk SOAR is more expensive compared to other options for SOAR."
"The tool is not cheap."
"In my opinion, the price is high, but if you want good products, you have to be willing to pay for them."
"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."
"I found the price of Splunk SOAR to be good."
"The cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."
"It's very overpriced because it is based on the number of users. There is no bulk licensing."
