Automates threat response and reduces investigation time but needs better threat intelligence integration
One thing that we would like to see with Splunk SOAR is the expandability to the threat intelligence feed. Currently, we have limited ingestion to the threat intelligence feed for the correlation purpose. We would like to see it being integrated, with license cost or without license cost, to leading threat intelligence sources such as Recorded Future, Feedly, or Flare. That is something we would appreciate having integrated. The second thing on the improvement side is about exposed credential-related information. If we start ingesting those data to Splunk SOAR or SIEM with some sort of integration with threat intelligence feed, that will also improve our detection and prediction method or help us with the investigation.

Improves the threat intelligence gathering process, but it is not user-friendly
The tool is not user-friendly. It is not beginner-friendly. It would be very difficult for a beginner to learn the tool. It will take at least two months to get familiar with it. Building the playbook is a little difficult for a beginner. The vendor must simplify the tool and make it user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The playbooks are valuable. They are the core component. Being able to implement and build a code process to work through and scale out what we want to do is valuable."
"The features of Splunk SOAR that I appreciate most are the integrations with all the other applications and tools."
"I'm just a beginner on the solution and it's pretty easy for me to use."
"Our customers find it easy to conduct searches and consider it an excellent content management system."
"Surprisingly, the mobile app is valuable because it is very convenient for our on-call analysts to respond and get alerted to security alerts and events wherever they are. We are able to harness the power of Splunk SOAR and everything that we are doing, and we are also able to alert our on-call analysts 24/7. From their mobile phone, they can respond to those alerts."
"Splunk SOAR's quick response to incidents is the most valuable part."
"So far, the interface is very easy to use."
"The ability to automate Splunk SOAR and customize the playbook use cases is the most valuable feature and is very exciting for me."
"The reporting services are great. With reporting services, if you have customers that just visit a URL you can see the result - including why it's blocked and how and how the URL was first recognized as malicious."
"Integrating the solution with our existing security tools and workflows was easy."
 

Cons

"They should integrate Splunk Enterprise Security better into Splunk Cloud."
"Splunk's support for integration is subpar and has room for improvement."
"The Splunk SOAR platform was not designed specifically for case management which is why this area needs improvement."
"Splunk SOAR does not help me reduce my security event volume; in fact, it makes them massive."
"The solution must provide more AIOps to improve predictability."
"The scalability could be better."
"Portability is one thing that is currently lacking. The open-source product that I evaluated had portability. It would require a lot of development effort, but it will save the cost of rewriting all the playbooks."
"One thing that we would like to see with Splunk SOAR is the expandability to the threat intelligence feed."
"The solution should be simpler for the end-user in terms of reporting and navigating the product."
"The tool is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is reasonable."
"It's very overpriced because it is based on the number of users. There is no bulk licensing."
"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 moderately priced, neither cheap nor overly expensive."
"While I can't confirm the exact pricing, some colleagues have mentioned that Splunk SOAR may be on the costlier side."
"Splunk SOAR is an expensive solution for an organization of our size."
"Splunk SOAR is more expensive compared to other options for SOAR."
"The cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."
