We performed a comparison between Splunk SOAR and Sumo Logic Security 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."It is always correlating to IOCs for normal attacks, using Azure-related resources. For example, if any illegitimate IP starts unusual activity on our Azure firewall, then it automatically generates an alarm for us."
"The product can integrate with any device."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high."
"Sentinel has features that have helped improve our security poster. It helped us in going ahead and identifying the gaps via analysis and focusing on the key elements."
"Investigations are something really remarkable. We can drill down right to the raw logs by running different queries and getting those on the console itself."
"We didn't have anything similar. So, it really provides value from the incidents and automation point of view. The overview of the security fabric is most valuable."
"The log query feature has been the most valuable because it's very good. You can put your data on the cloud and run queues from Sentinel. It will do it all very fast. I love that I don't have to upload it to an Excel file and then manually look for a piece of information. Sentinel is much faster and is good for big databases."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk SOAR is the automated playbooks, which saves analysts time."
"Before its use, analyzing each email would take at least 15 to 20 minutes, with some complex cases taking up to 30 minutes...With the automation provided by Splunk Phantom, we could significantly reduce the amount of time and human effort required to complete this task."
"The solution’s dashboard is really good and customizable. It also has a good UI."
"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."
"The solution allows us to customize playbooks and incorporate custom code, allowing us to drag and drop elements while still writing code to build the integrations we need."
"The automation part of the product is great."
"The solution is quite stable."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"With this tool, we provide access to every developer team the ability to find errors, then they come to us and ask for specific help."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"The most valuable features of Sumo Logic Security are the rules, use cases, and ease of use. Additionally, the integration is straightforward and good GUI."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"We are invoiced according to the amount of data generated within each log."
"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."
"Its documentation is not so simple. It is easy for somebody who is Microsoft certified or more closely attached to Microsoft solutions. It is not easy for those who are working on open-source platforms. There isn't a central point where everything is documented, and there is no specific training or certification."
"The product can be improved by reducing the cost to use AI machine learning."
"Currently, the watchlist feature is being utilized, and although there have been improvements, it is still not fully optimized."
"There is a wider thing called Jupyter Notebooks, which is around the automation side of things. It would be good if there are playbooks that you can utilize without having to have the developer experience to do it in-house. Microsoft could provide more playbooks or more Jupyter Notebooks around MITRE ATT&CK Framework."
"Sometimes, we are observing large ingestion delays. We expect logs within 5 minutes, but it takes about 10 to 15 minutes."
"I can't think of anything other than just getting the name out there. I think a lot of customers don't fully understand the full capabilities of Azure Sentinel yet. It is kind of like when they're first starting to use Azure, it might not be something they first think about. So, they should just kind of get to the point where it is more widely used."
"It would be ideal if we could automate processes even more."
"What we have seen is if the workflow gets halted or if we want to halt a workflow, it cannot be resumed."
"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."
"Splunk's support for integration is subpar and has room for improvement."
"The scalability could be better."
"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.."
"In my opinion, the focus should be on improving its simplicity, specifically the interface, and configuration."
"Splunk SOAR should improve its ease of upgrade, which is a pain point for us right now."
"It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap."
"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."
"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
