Rapid threat management and diverse technology integration for effective monitoring
Expel has made it easier for companies to monitor and manage various log sources. With its vast integration portfolio, customers can efficiently monitor diverse environments. Time to value is quick, as Expel can turn their service up very rapidly. They have both automated active responses and human processes that quicken threat resolution.

Automation simplifies workflows with no code and excellent support
Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis. Tines has its own dashboard, which displays information like how many stories have been created and how many automations have taken place. However, the reporting and dashboard are not advanced; they are quite basic, with fewer customizable options. The look and feel of the dashboard could be enhanced. Another area for improvement is in terms of documentation, as every tool and company has its own knowledge base.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their threat hunting protocol and process with AI and machine learning are strong, allowing for active and rapid responses."
"One of the most valuable features is that it’s a low-code solution."
"The tool was vendor-neutral."
"The best advantage is the no-code automation, excellent customer support services, and ease of integration with other tools."
"The best thing is that it's no code, so it doesn't require coding knowledge."
 

Cons

"The one area where Expel may not measure up is if a customer requires a managed SIEM as part of their overall solution. There's a gap there, and solutions might require third-party assistance for management."
"Maybe Tines can add more features and demonstrations, like videos on how to use the features within the tool."
"Tines was a little bit more expensive than Torq."
"They started implementing some AI, and their AI is isolated."
"Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis."
