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 tool is stable. The initial setup is straightforward. The product is user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The automation part of the product is great."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the playbook automation just because it allows us to reduce the manual actions that SOC has to handle."
"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."
 

Cons

"The technical support should be improved."
"Splunk SOAR can improve IoT/OT security-related case studies or your use cases. Their integration with identity and access management (IAM) solutions is a bit shaky. They don't have good integration with a lot of IAM solutions. They do have good capability in terms of user access management internally, but even with privileged user access, they have a good module. However, if they have to integrate with solutions, such as CyberArk or IBM IAM solutions they are lacking, the visibility of user access is not that much."
"The scalability could be better."
"The tool's response is slower because it has to search through a huge dataset, which can be improved for latency."
"In the beginning, we couldn't find any specific documents for every function. It wasn't easy to navigate to what we needed."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the UI."
"It would be ideal if we could automate processes even more."
"It could be easier to implement."
"The Splunk SOAR platform was not designed specifically for case management which is why this area needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."
"We renewed it this year. This year was the first time there was a dramatic increase in the price. It was kind of non-negotiable. It was just a high increase. We had internal communications, and it was definitely a surprise to us. In a short time frame, we renewed it this year. Prices are going up everywhere, but they are not always justifiable, at least not to our eyes. The pricing this year was definitely a big shock."
"It's very overpriced because it is based on the number of users. There is no bulk licensing."
"In my opinion, the price is high, but if you want good products, you have to be willing to pay for them."
"I don't know the exact price, but for my region, it is very expensive."
"The tool is not cheap."
"While I can't confirm the exact pricing, some colleagues have mentioned that Splunk SOAR may be on the costlier side."
