Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Support is very responsive.""The best part of Proofpoint Threat Response is the Auto-Pull feature. Being able to pull an email back from a user's mailbox is very useful, yet I have noticed that not a lot of organizations use this kind of feature.""It has reduced our manual efforts to remove emails from each user's inbox, and in this case we do not have to ask our IT department or users to do so."

"The customizable playbook is the most valuable aspect of the solution.""I have found all the security automation platform features of Splunk SOAR to be good. The Automation playbook development is highly useful.""The most valuable feature of Splunk SOAR is the automated playbooks, which saves analysts time.""The most valuable feature is the risk-based access control.""The ability to automate Splunk SOAR and customize the playbook use cases is the most valuable feature and is very exciting for me.""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.""When you design a playbook, you can integrate multiple log sources and define rules... After that, the platform automatically compiles all these activities and, based on the results, the analyst only has to indicate whether the result is a true or false positive. That reduces the time and effort involved.""I'm just a beginner on the solution and it's pretty easy for me to use."

Cons
"Has some quirks.""The interface within Threat Response could be made simpler.""If the reporting gets improved then it would be better, but the product is running amazing as it is."

More Proofpoint Threat Response Cons →

"In my opinion, the focus should be on improving its simplicity, specifically the interface, and configuration.""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 Splunk SOAR platform was not designed specifically for case management which is why this area needs improvement.""The cost of Splunk SOAR has room for improvement.""The technical support for the Splunk SIEM solution was average.""The number of playbooks on offer should be increased.""Splunk SOAR has room to improve its offering for small-sized customers. The price is not fair for smaller-sized customers.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's quite affordable to have it with this much functionality and ease to administrate."
  • "The way most big companies work with Proofpoint is that they try to tie everything into an enterprise license. I can't comment on the actual costs, however I do know that alternative solutions such as Abnormal Security can be much more expensive than Proofpoint Threat Response."

  • "I don't know the exact price, but for my region, it is very expensive."
  • "In my opinion, the price is high, but if you want good products, you have to be willing to pay for them."
  • "It's very overpriced because it is based on the number of users. There is no bulk licensing."
  • "Splunk SOAR is more expensive compared to other options for SOAR."
  • "The licensing cost is reasonable."
  • "When we first purchased our Splunk SOAR license, it was based on an event-count model. It was based on the number of events. I had strong opinions at the time that automation should not be stifled by the amount of automation you can accomplish, so the previous structure was not as beneficial for us. Later that year, we got told or saw at a conference that they announced user-based pricing. We are now in a renewal period, so we migrated to a user-based license model, which is more appropriate for us so that we no longer have to worry about stifling our automation based on the quantity."
  • "Splunk SOAR is an expensive solution for an organization of our size."
  • "The cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."
