We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightConnect and Splunk SOAR 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 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 machine learning and artificial intelligence on offer are great."
"The features that stand out are the detection engine and its integration with multiple data sources."
"The product can integrate with any device."
"It is easy to implement (turn on) - does need a skilled analyst to develop queries and playbooks."
"Sentinel uses Azure Logic Apps for automation, which is really powerful. This allows us to easily automate responses to incidents."
"Native integration with Microsoft security products or other Microsoft software is also crucial. For example, we can integrate Sentinel with Office 365 with one click. Other integrations aren't as easy. Sometimes, we have to do it manually."
"The most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high."
"The tool is stable. The initial setup is straightforward. The product is user-friendly."
"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 solution’s dashboard is really good and customizable. It also has a good UI."
"The automation part of the product is great."
"I like the way Splunk interacts with various systems via the API. The ability to integrate Splunk with our ticketing system has been an immense help because we can maintain our workflow while blending Splunk with our support desk and other ways that we track work."
"My understanding is the initial setup isn't too hard."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk SOAR is the automated playbooks, which saves analysts time."
"I like the integration capabilities of Phantom. It has a lot of integrations with other products. Its searching methodologies are also good. It is also easy to understand and easy to create playbooks."
"The ability to automate Splunk SOAR and customize the playbook use cases is the most valuable feature and is very exciting for me."
"Given that I am in the small business space, I wish they would make it easier to operate Sentinel without being a Sentinel expert. Examples of things that could be easier are creating alerts and automations from scratch and designing workbooks."
"We'd like also a better ticketing system, which is older."
"Microsoft should improve Sentinel, considering that from the legacy systems, it cannot collect logs."
"I would like to see more AI used in processes."
"The on-prem log sources still require a lot of development."
"The following would be a challenge for any product in the market, but we have some in-house apps in our environment... our apps were built with different parameters and the APIs for them are not present in Sentinel. We are working with Microsoft to build those custom APIs that we require. That is currently in progress."
"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."
"Some of the data connectors are outdated, at least the ones that utilize Linux machines for log forwarding. I believe that Microsoft is already working on improving this."
"The technical support should be improved."
"The technical support for the Splunk SIEM solution was average."
"The algorithm and machine learning have room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."
"The UI can be more customizable for the clients."
"We've had trouble implementing the solution with Microsoft products. There seems to be an integration gap."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the UI."
"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."
"The number of playbooks on offer should be increased."
"Splunk's support for integration is subpar and has room for improvement."
