We performed a comparison between Splunk SOAR and Swimlane 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."The automation rules and playbooks are the most useful that I've seen. A number of other places segregate the automation and playbook as separate tools, whereas Microsoft is a SIEM and SOAR tool in one."
"In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store"
"It's easy to use. It's a very good product. It can easily ingest data from anywhere. It has an easily understandable language to perform actions."
"Sentinel pricing is good"
"It is easy to implement (turn on) - does need a skilled analyst to develop queries and playbooks."
"It is able to connect to an ever-growing number of platforms and systems within the Microsoft ecosystem, such as Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365 or Office 365, as well as to external services and systems that can be brought in and managed. We can manage on-premises infrastructure. We can manage not just the things that are running in Azure in the public cloud, but through Azure Arc and the hybrid capabilities, we can monitor on-premises servers and endpoints. We can monitor VMware infrastructure, for instance, running as part of a hybrid environment."
"The automation feature is valuable."
"It has a lot of great features."
"So far, the interface is very easy to use."
"Our customers find it easy to conduct searches and consider it an excellent content management system."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk SOAR is the automated playbooks, which saves analysts time."
"Splunk SOAR's quick response to incidents is the most valuable part."
"The most valuable feature is the API connector, depending on how it's formatted and who made the actual app offering for it. The REST API is my favorite component. It's very easy to use. The filters are also really valuable. Those are the two primary features but I enjoy using the rest of it."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk SOAR that stands out is it has a great SOAR. The automation and orchestration module is highly mature. A lot of use cases are on user entity and behavioral analytics (UEBA), which is artificial intelligence and machine learning-based (AIML)."
"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."
"I'm just a beginner on the solution and it's pretty easy for me to use."
"The technical support from Swimlane is very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the support."
"It provides us with a single portal for our logs from different solutions."
"We do see continuous improvement all the time, however, I haven't got a specific feature that is lacking or not well designed."
"The playbook is a bit difficult and could be improved."
"Add more out-of-the-box connectors with other SaaS platforms/applications."
"Only one thing is missing: NDR is not available out-of-the-box. The competitive cloud-native SIEM providers have the NDR component. Currently, Sentinel needs NDR to be powered from either Corelight or some other NDR provider."
"The learning curve could be improved. I am still learning it. We were able to implement the basic features to get them up and running, but there are still so many things that I don't know about all its features. They have a lot of features that we have not been able to use or apply. If they could work on reducing the solution's learning curve, that would be good. While there is a training course held by Microsoft to learn more about this solution, there is a cost associated with it."
"Documentation is the main thing that could be improved. In terms of product usage, the documentation is pretty good, but I'd like a lot more documentation on Kusto Query Language."
"It has been a challenge with Azure Sentinel to onboard the Syslog server from FortiGate. Azure Sentinel can work better on that shift between the Syslog server and a firewall."
"When it comes to ingesting Azure native log sources, some of the log sources are specific to the subscription, and it is not always very clear."
"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.."
"have put a number of ideas on the ideas.splunk.com site for feature requests for the Splunk SOAR product. I posted one of them about three years ago, which finally got implemented in the latest release that just got announced, so the time to implement new features and things like that is a little bit concerning."
"Splunk's support for integration is subpar and has room for improvement."
"Splunk SOAR has room to improve its offering for small-sized customers. The price is not fair for smaller-sized customers."
"The pricing could be a bit more reasonable. It would be great if it were feasible for smaller organizations."
"The algorithm and machine learning have room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."
"In my opinion, the focus should be on improving its simplicity, specifically the interface, and configuration."
"It would be ideal if we could automate processes even more."
"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
"The initial setup and deployment are complex."
"We faced a lot of issues with the product’s stability."
