Srikanth Nuthalapati - PeerSpot reviewer
Great support, scalable, and easier to code
The stability of the solution has room for improvement. I would like Swimlane to provide a single space where we can go to code, build, and automate. Where we have a provision to create tables, playbooks, and tables to produce results, connect all the dots, and make the flow automated. This would make it much easier to navigate than having to jump to different places. I would like to have a single button to click that would start me on the journey of creating my own code from the ground up, from the workflow algorithm to the automation process. This would be simpler than what I had with Splunk Phantom, where I had to piece things together and connect the dots to get the full picture. With this new feature, I could create the full picture with just one button click.

Automation simplifies workflows with no code and excellent support
Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis. Tines has its own dashboard, which displays information like how many stories have been created and how many automations have taken place. However, the reporting and dashboard are not advanced; they are quite basic, with fewer customizable options. The look and feel of the dashboard could be enhanced. Another area for improvement is in terms of documentation, as every tool and company has its own knowledge base.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"It provides us with a single portal for our logs from different solutions."
"The technical support from Swimlane is very good."
"We are using it for a SOAR platform at a Cyber Security company which is MSSP."
"Swimlane is a very effective way to represent workflows involving multiple users."
"Swimlane saves us 80 to 90 percent of our time by quickly helping us design the journey and efficiently passing information to various components."
"On a scale of one to ten, this solution deserves a rating of nine."
"Our primary goal was to reduce analyst time, and we have been successful in that."
"Swimlane enables two SOC analysts to work efficiently as much as ten analysts would without Swimlane, which translates to significant manpower savings."
"The tool was vendor-neutral."
"One of the most valuable features is that it’s a low-code solution."
"The best thing is that it's no code, so it doesn't require coding knowledge."
"The best advantage is the no-code automation, excellent customer support services, and ease of integration with other tools."
 

Cons

"The initial setup and deployment are complex."
"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
"We faced a lot of issues with the product’s stability."
"Swimlane's search bar is not working effectively, and there is no option to differentiate between two cases at the same time."
"I would like to see improvements in the minor bugs that occur with each update, as some features might have issues."
"I would prefer to have more colors added to represent different risks or notations, which can be used for the prioritization of risks and the significance of information."
"Swimlane is not scalable because it is not exposed. Currently, it's a manual component that requires configuration through coding."
"There is a need for enhanced version control in Swimlane. Currently, our version does not support it, making it tough to move changes between environments during significant updates."
"Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis."
"Tines was a little bit more expensive than Torq."
"They started implementing some AI, and their AI is isolated."
"Maybe Tines can add more features and demonstrations, like videos on how to use the features within the tool."
