We performed a comparison between NetWitness XDR and Splunk SOAR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features in my experience are the UEBA, LDAP, the threat scheduler, and integration with third-party straight perform like the MISP."
"The main benefit is the ease of integration."
"It has basic out-of-the-box integrations with multiple log sources."
"It's pretty powerful and its performance is pretty good."
"The analytics has a lot of advantages because there are 300 default use cases for rules and we can modify them per our environment. We can create other rules as well. Analytics is a useful feature."
"In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store"
"Azure Application Gateway makes things a lot easier. You can create dashboards, alert rules, hunting and custom queries, and functions with it."
"The most valuable feature is the onboarding of the workloads. You can see all that has been onboarded in your account on the dashboards."
"NetWitness Endpoint's most valuable features are its interoperability across many different operating systems and the ease of pivoting from network to endpoint via a single console."
"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."
"It's a scalable solution. We have around five to eight customers using RSA NetWitness Endpoint, and we hope to increase the number of users."
"RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility."
"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."
"Technical support is knowledgeable."
"This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."
"The interface of this solution is very flexible and easy to use."
"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 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."
"The product’s integration with other Splunk products is valuable."
"Splunk SOAR's quick response to incidents is the most valuable part."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk SOAR is the automated playbooks, which saves analysts time."
"The automation part of the product is great."
"My understanding is the initial setup isn't too hard."
"The solution should allow for a streamlined CI/CD procedure."
"If Azure Sentinel had the ability to ingest Azure services from different tenants into another tenant that was hosting Azure Sentinel, and not lose any metadata, that would be a huge benefit to a lot of companies."
"If we want to use more features, we have to pay more. There are multiple solutions on the cloud itself, but the pricing model package isn't consistent, which is confusing to clients."
"Everyone has their favorites. There is always room for improvement, and everybody will say, "I wish you could do this for me or that for me." It is a personal thing based on how you use the tool. I do not necessarily have those thoughts, and they are probably not really valuable because they are unique to the context of the user, but broadly, where it can continue to improve is by adding more connectors to more systems."
"We do have in-built or out-of-the-box metrics that are shown on the dashboard, but it doesn't give the kind of metrics that we need from our environment whereby we need to check the meantime to detect and meantime to resolve an incident. I have to do it manually. I have to pull all the logs or all the alerts that are fed into Sentinel over a certain period. We do this on a monthly basis, so I go into Microsoft Sentinel and pull all the alerts or incidents we closed over a period of thirty days."
"The troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"Improvement-wise, I would like to see more integration with third-party solutions or old-school antivirus products that have some kind of logging capability. I wouldn't mind having that exposed within Sentinel. We do have situations where certain companies have bought licensing or have made an investment in a product, and that product will be there for the next two or three years. To be able to view information from those legacy products would be great. We can then better leverage the Sentinel solution and its capabilities."
"The only thing is sometimes you can have a false positive."
"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."
"The deployment process is complex. I don't know why, but this solution will suddenly stop working. Logs stop coming. Often, one thing or another stops working. Most of the time, one of my team members is working with troubleshooting and working with technical support. Log passing is also one of the biggest challenge."
"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."
"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."
"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."
"The contamination feature could be improved."
"The solution lacks a reporting engine."
"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."
"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."
"What we have seen is if the workflow gets halted or if we want to halt a workflow, it cannot be resumed."
"We've had trouble implementing the solution with Microsoft products. There seems to be an integration gap."
"Splunk's support for integration is subpar and has room for improvement."
"And most of the challenges that I have faced with the solution can be found in the documentation itself."
"It could be easier to implement."
"It would be ideal if we could automate processes even more."
"have put a number of ideas on the ideas.splunk.com site for feature requests for the Splunk SOAR product. I posted one of them about three years ago, which finally got implemented in the latest release that just got announced, so the time to implement new features and things like that is a little bit concerning."
