Nimrod Vardi - PeerSpot reviewer
Global IT Director at OpenWeb
Automation workflows have transformed our IT, enabling secure just-in-time access control
We work with them quite often, so we have a direct line regarding areas in Torq that have room for improvement. If we have a feature request, we can request it. I do not have anything in mind at the moment. We were a design partner for a short while, so we feel that they listen and that users of the system have an impact on the way the system is designed for the better. They have a new community, which is something that I personally suggested years ago. There are many people like me in different places and they might have already built the workflow that I need. Having the option to share workflows or to jump on a thread and say I have this need, did anyone ever build a workflow for it, is amazing. Someone would jump in and say yes, sure, here, take this workflow. I think this is an amazing thing and I really hope that the community will come alive because I think this is really powerful. This is something that I already suggested and it did happen eventually, and I am quite happy with it. I do not have any specific feature in mind that I have a need for at the moment.

Automated playbooks have reduced response times and provided deeper threat analytics
The effectiveness of Fortinet FortiSOAR playbooks is that they minimize the mean time to response and MTTR, and I think more automation is required to improve the response time. I am working with the Dynamic Case Management feature, and it is dynamic. The Dynamic Case Management feature is more helpful for us to get real-time anomalies and identify the threats. It also assists in real-time response, so it is helpful.
SS
Manager cybersecurity at Hexion Inc.
Automates threat response and reduces investigation time but needs better threat intelligence integration
One thing that we would like to see with Splunk SOAR is the expandability to the threat intelligence feed. Currently, we have limited ingestion to the threat intelligence feed for the correlation purpose. We would like to see it being integrated, with license cost or without license cost, to leading threat intelligence sources such as Recorded Future, Feedly, or Flare. That is something we would appreciate having integrated. The second thing on the improvement side is about exposed credential-related information. If we start ingesting those data to Splunk SOAR or SIEM with some sort of integration with threat intelligence feed, that will also improve our detection and prediction method or help us with the investigation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Torq has helped a lot regarding SOC analyst efficiency."
"Under one SOC tool in Torq, analysts get to know everything within the context of an alert or incident they are working on, and this ability to view the whole picture within Torq is one of the major breakthroughs and best offerings of Torq."
"Almost four or five hours of work is now completed in four or five minutes."
"If I review about 100 vendors that I might work with, Torq is definitely in the top five that gave me personally investment back, just because every bit of effort I put into Torq eventually became a workflow that gave it back to me."
"Once I started to use the system and I saw the potential, it changed all of our work in IT."
"Torq's unified platform approach to AI, SOAR, automation, and case management is superior compared to my experience managing multiple point solutions."
"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."
"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"Generally, the tool helps just automating a lot of manual load or repetitive tasks."
"The fabrication, management, and communication across a single platform is beautiful."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies."
"It has a quick detection and response time."
"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 that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer, it's the best feature."
"The most fascinating aspect of FortiSOAR is its modern and simple to understand and operate dashboards."
"Very flexible integration with other tools"
"I have saved much time thanks to Splunk SOAR's impact, where earlier, without autonomous monitoring, users took almost one day or two days; now, a twenty-four hour job is done in almost thirty minutes."
"Analysts save a lot of time with Splunk SOAR because all relevant details from phishing emails, including the email ID, IP address, sender information, and email content such as links or attachments, are automatically integrated into an incident and sent to ServiceNow, making troubleshooting easier and enabling them to start investigating directly or know what to do next."
"The product provides 100% automation for certain processes."
"Splunk SOAR is more user-friendly than those tools and provides more precise and advanced information that we require to analyze whether a case is a true positive or false positive."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of Splunk SOAR that stands out is it has a great SOAR, the automation and orchestration module is highly mature, and a lot of use cases are on user entity and behavioral analytics (UEBA), which is artificial intelligence and machine learning-based (AIML)."
 

Cons

"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."
"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"Even now, we have workflows that are in production that use AI steps and I get different results, making it unusable to some degree."
"Regarding the pricing of Torq, I would say it is expensive."
"Torq does extensive marketing saying that SOAR is dead and markets itself as an all-in-one solution, but this is not actually true."
"We have MCP that we are working with our cloud security platform, and we wanted to connect this MCP to the case management."
"It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
"The ease of playbook creation on FortiSOAR needs improvement."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The solution lacks proper documentation, so we have to test and trial each playbook and integration."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."
"To make Splunk SOAR a better solution, there could be better built-in debugging tools, smarter playbook suggestions, and enhanced lifecycle management."
"The technical support for the Splunk SIEM solution was average."
"Some of the training materials are on a basic level."
"There are areas where Splunk SOAR can continue to improve, particularly regarding the synchronization of information, as sometimes it takes longer than other tools."
"The pricing could be a bit more reasonable. It would be great if it were feasible for smaller organizations."
"It would be ideal if we could automate processes even more."
"The font used in the interface could be changed and made easier to read."
"It would be ideal for us if Splunk SOAR could integrate with Teams."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
"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 expensive."
"The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
"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."
"When we first purchased our Splunk SOAR license, it was based on an event-count model. It was based on the number of events. I had strong opinions at the time that automation should not be stifled by the amount of automation you can accomplish, so the previous structure was not as beneficial for us. Later that year, we got told or saw at a conference that they announced user-based pricing. We are now in a renewal period, so we migrated to a user-based license model, which is more appropriate for us so that we no longer have to worry about stifling our automation based on the quantity."
"The cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."
"In my opinion, the price is high, but if you want good products, you have to be willing to pay for them."
"It's very overpriced because it is based on the number of users. There is no bulk licensing."
"Splunk SOAR is moderately priced, neither cheap nor overly expensive."
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
"I found the price of Splunk SOAR to be good."
