Featured Reviews

Simple deployment with good reports and dashboard
In terms of what could be improved, there are a lot of things identified and there is a lot of continuous improvement. A lot of the things are of a short time frame and a lot are way out. There was a tuning process but nothing specifically to call out. As for what could be included in the next release, we are working on the basic feature set. There are probably some things that, as we move through it, we'll come across that are deficient but right now we are not that far along to know. I don't want to say that they could not do certain advancement. For example, there are some automated network response portions that we want to turn up, but we're not ready for that. I don't even know what the capabilities are there, but that's something that, probably in the next 24 months, we will move forward on.

Mack Scott - PeerSpot reviewer
Improves response time by consolidating tools and automating threat detection
I haven't gone too far into it to see anything that needs improvement yet. We can likely include some features related to the integration with on-premises resources, rather than focusing solely on the existing automation. These are the additional features that could be included in the future. Splunk's Unified Platform does help consolidate networking security and IT observability tools. They should integrate Splunk Enterprise Security better into Splunk Cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features that I have found most valuable are that the search capabilities are easy to use. The dashboards are good. The reports are good. It is just simple from a deployment standpoint - that was easy."
"I like the way Splunk interacts with various systems via the API. The ability to integrate Splunk with our ticketing system has been an immense help because we can maintain our workflow while blending Splunk with our support desk and other ways that we track work."
"So far, the interface is very easy to use."
"The customization of the playbook in Splunk SOAR is very beneficial."
"I have found all the security automation platform features of Splunk SOAR to be good. The Automation playbook development is highly useful."
"My understanding is the initial setup isn't too hard."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the risk-based access control."
"The product provides 100% automation for certain processes."

Cons

"There are some automated network response portions that we want to turn up."
"And most of the challenges that I have faced with the solution can be found in the documentation itself."
"To make Splunk SOAR a better solution, there could be better built-in debugging tools, smarter playbook suggestions, and enhanced lifecycle management."
"Splunk SOAR should improve its ease of upgrade, which is a pain point for us right now."
"There are areas in Splunk SOAR that have room for improvement. To make Splunk SOAR a better solution, there could be better built-in debugging tools, smarter playbook suggestions, and enhanced lifecycle management."
"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."
"Improving the integration ecosystem can raise the quality of the bottom tier of the integrations so that they can work better out of the box."
"Suppose I am initially granted user rights or analyst rights, but later on, I also get admin rights. SOAR is unable to amend the limitations of my role. I raised a support ticket with Splunk about this. They said it's a bug in their 5.3.5 version. To fix this, I had to reinstall the entire platform from scratch.."
"The pricing could be a bit more reasonable. It would be great if it were feasible for smaller organizations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
"The tool is not cheap."
"Splunk SOAR is an expensive solution for an organization of our size."
"It's very overpriced because it is based on the number of users. There is no bulk licensing."
"I don't know the exact price, but for my region, it is very expensive."
"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."
"In my opinion, the price is high, but if you want good products, you have to be willing to pay for them."
"Splunk SOAR is more expensive compared to other options for SOAR."
