We're not really creating the use cases. Our internal team is developing the use cases. Right now, we have automated the whole phishing process. After that we are still planning to automate a few more things like malware investigation and then from there other processes.

Great automation capabilities, easy to use, and offers good GUI
Pros and Cons
- "So far, the interface is very easy to use."
- "It would be ideal if we could automate processes even more."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
We're in the POC phase. We need more time to get used to the solution and to understand it better to discover the most useful features.
So far, the interface is very easy to use.
The GUI is great.
The features in the Phantom playbook are all very good.
You can build different playbook and you can play with the playbook. One playbook can give you insights into URL applications, one playbook you can give the reputation about the file access. You can build different playbooks and after integrating all the playbooks you can come up with some organizational directions and decisions. It will give you very good insights into various incidents.
The solution is great for automating redundant work.
It's difficult sometime to manage the amount of reported suspicious emails. Using an intervention like this solution helps make that task easier.
What needs improvement?
We haven't had too much experience on the solution.
The solution is relatively new in the market.
It would be ideal if we could automate processes even more.
The interface is great, however, they could still keep refining it to make it even more user friendly.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have used the solution over the past year.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
At a previous organization, I did work with another tool in Beta. It was able to provide UVA capacity. I'm not sure if they used a different tool at this current organization.
The Phantom has better GUI, however, I'm not able to clearly see the risk fabric.
How was the initial setup?
I wasn't part of the deployment team. I have no idea if the initial implementation is straightforward or complex.
Technically, we are still in the deployment phase. We haven't finished yet. We are yet to go live. IN the next few weeks we'll go live, however, only on the phishing features.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I'm not aware of the company looking into other options before choosing this solution. All of this was handled by the procurement team, and I am not a party to their decision-making process.
What other advice do I have?
I'm not sure which version of the solution we're currently using.
If a company wants to automate redundant work, this solution is perfect for that. Very specific processes can be easily automated to save time. That way, analysts can invest their time elsewhere. Phantom is one of the great tools for reducing redundancies.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Easy to use and popular with our team but is a bit expensive
Pros and Cons
- "I'm just a beginner on the solution and it's pretty easy for me to use."
- "We've had trouble implementing the solution with Microsoft products. There seems to be an integration gap."
What is most valuable?
I'm just a beginner on the solution and it's pretty easy for me to use.
Our team likes it. They've been using it for a while and they really seem to like it. They know more about it than I do at this point, as I'm still new.
It's a default for a lot of things on our system.
What needs improvement?
We've had trouble implementing the solution with Microsoft products. There seems to be an integration gap.
The pricing of the product could be more reasonable.
For how long have I used the solution?
While I am a beginner on the Splunk platform, our team has a good amount of experience with it overall. I've personally only been working with it for two or three months or so. It hasn't been that long.
How are customer service and technical support?
I've never actually opened a ticket with Splunk technical support in the past. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. I don't have any experience with them to discuss how helpful or responsive they are.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licenses are quite expensive at this time. They need to work on the pricing in order to make the costs much more reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
We are a customer and an end-user. We don't have a business relationship with Splunk.
I can't speak to which version of the solution we're using.
I'd rate the solution at seven out of ten overall.

Cyber Security Solution Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Easy to create playbooks, easy to deploy, and good integration capabilities and searching methodologies
Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "I haven't used it fully, but based on my usage, I could not find simulation tools and features. It currently lacks simulation features, which are important for me for creating a playbook. It is also very expensive for my region."
What is our primary use case?
My primary use case was for the MITRE ATT&CK parameters. I have some experience with MITRE ATT&CK for SIEM and SOAR solutions.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
I haven't used it fully, but based on my usage, I could not find simulation tools and features. It currently lacks simulation features, which are important for me for creating a playbook.
It is also very expensive for my region.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for one year.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I didn't focus on that feature, so I cannot say anything about that.
How are customer service and technical support?
I don't have any experience with their technical support. My customer was using it in their company, and I had some experience with this solution over there while managing their security solutions, but I didn't get in touch with Splunk specialists.
How was the initial setup?
Its initial setup is straightforward. It is similar to most of the solutions. I didn't have any complexity.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I don't know the exact price, but for my region, it is very expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution, but it also depends on the price. Splunk is number one for SIEM or SOAR. Another solution that I would recommend is Palo Alto XSOAR.
I would rate Splunk Phantom a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
