Great documentation, good technical support, and very in-depth
The initial setup can be complex. I would advise users to leverage all of the access with Palo Alto, in terms of setting up with the technical account management teams. They need to ensure that what they have in mind for the product is actually going to be what happens. I have not run into any problems with deploying the product. Any of their security products are well-documented, either with open source intelligence or the documentation from Palo Alto. We had a client with less than a thousand users that received a dedicated engineer and a technical account manager that was able to walk them through the first 90 days of ownership. The support is certainly there.

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

"Technical support is great. Palo Alto is extremely helpful and responsive."
"It basically automates the entire alert investigation process."
"The ease of deployment is a valuable feature."
"Very flexible integration with other tools"
"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 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 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."
"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."
"Its ability to integrate with other systems and applications in our environment is pretty easy. Sometimes if we see any complexity we try to involve a consultant to help us. Everything is through the built-in app. Splunk can connect to any assets through the built-in app. It could be in a platform, firewalls, or endpoints. It's easy if it's an app integration."
"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."
"So far, the interface is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"Many will try to use this as an out-of-the-box solution, however, it needs to be configured to fit what a company would like to do with it."
"Maybe the notifications setting could use a simpler setting."
"The price should be reduced in order to be more competitive in the market."
"The Splunk SOAR platform was not designed specifically for case management which is why this area needs improvement."
"Splunk's support for integration is subpar and has room for improvement."
"In my opinion, the focus should be on improving its simplicity, specifically the interface, and configuration."
"And most of the challenges that I have faced with the solution can be found in the documentation itself."
"Creating playbooks using the solution’s playbook editor, for me, is very cumbersome. There have been instances where I have said to myself that I just don't want to use this editor. I might just use a code block and write my own code within it... The functionality in the playbook editor is 80 percent there, but that 20 percent is still lacking. They could make it more efficient."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the UI."
"It would be ideal for us if Splunk SOAR could integrate with Teams."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Be sure of the actual number of endpoints in your company."
"The price of this solution is the highest in the market, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Splunk SOAR is more expensive compared to other options for SOAR."
"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."
"The cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."
"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 tool is not cheap."
"I found the price of Splunk SOAR to be good."
