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.
"Sentinel improved how we investigate incidents. We can create watchlists and update them to align with the latest threat intelligence. The information Microsoft provides enables us to understand thoroughly and improve as we go along. It allows us to provide monthly reports to our clients on their security posture."
"The standout feature of Sentinel is that, because it's cloud-based and because it's from Microsoft, it integrates really well with all the other Microsoft products. It's really simple to set up and get going."
"The AI capability is one of the main features of the solution because I believe that in the market, there are few solutions that are providing security solutions based on AI and machine learning."
"The scalability is great. You can put unlimited logs in, as long as you can pay for it. There are commitment tiers, up to six terabytes per day, which is nowhere close to what any one of our customers is running."
"The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies."
"I like the KQL query. It simplifies getting data from the table and seeing the logs. All you need to know are the table names. It's quite easy to build use cases by using KQL."
"The Log analytics are useful."
"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 customizable playbook is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The automation part of the product is great."
"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."
"I'm just a beginner on the solution and it's pretty easy for me to use."
"The customization continues to be excellent."
"Technical support is helpful."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is the support."
"The technical support from Swimlane is very good."
"It provides us with a single portal for our logs from different solutions."
"The troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"Sentinel's reporting is complex and can be more user-friendly."
"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."
"Sentinel provides decent visibility, but it's sometimes a little cumbersome to get to the information I want because there is so much information. I would also like to see more seamless integration between Sentinel and third-party security products."
"The solution should allow for a streamlined CI/CD procedure."
"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 product can be improved by reducing the cost to use AI machine learning."
"When we pass KPIs to the governance department, there's no option to provide rights to the data or dashboard to colleagues. We can use Power BI for this, but it isn't easy or convenient. They should just come up with a way to provide limited role-based access to auditing personnel"
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the UI."
"We have playbooks written to extract these events and put them into the workflow since it wasn't structured as expected. It was a miss for us. We couldn't figure out why it broke or what actually happened there. It was something in this feed with legitimate and security events, so we tried to understand the names and what we would call them."
"We've had trouble implementing the solution with Microsoft products. There seems to be an integration gap."
"It could be easier to implement."
"Splunk's support for integration is subpar and has room for improvement."
"We've run into a few minor issues. Some of the playbook writing is a bit complicated. We've had a few hiccups with the source control. We'd really like to use GitHub deployment keys for a dedicated account. We haven't been able to do that. I think those are some of the major ones."
"In my opinion, the focus should be on improving its simplicity, specifically the interface, and configuration."
"Some of the training materials are on a basic level."
"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."
