Automation has streamlined multi-tenant SOC workflows and improves alert handling efficiency

Although the reporting within Torq is not that great, we did ask for many features regarding reporting in Torq, but due to some platform constraints, they could not make the whole dataset available for us to be used in reporting. Except for that, we used some basic reporting. When I used Torq, it was indeed in the early stages of AI capabilities. Only a few customers were allowed to use it, and we were among them. It functioned well as long as we summarized the data properly. If you input garbage, you would get garbage out. Thus, we had to do significant fine-tuning regarding what data context we provided to the AI orchestrator to get meaningful results. In terms of Torq's unified platform approach to AI SOC automation and case management compared to managing multiple point solutions across my security stack, I find it case-centric. The unified view in case management is good since it provides clarity, although there are limitations regarding how many items in case management can be modified at once. Bulk operations are very limited, potentially due to their back-end database or data retrieval processes that can be improved. Regarding improvements for Torq, when we were onboarded, there were aspects we were uncertain about, such as the number of cases that could be generated, what data we could bring in, how many clients we could onboard, and similar concerns. Initially, we also lacked clarity about the number of playbooks or workflows we could build. Different triggers like system triggers, case-based triggers, and others can be employed without restrictions, but when it comes to on-demand and scheduled jobs, there is a limitation based on the subscription and pricing tier that notably caps the number of workflows we can create. No bulk editing across cases was one issue, along with limited filtering related to single grouping constraints. Additionally, the out-of-the-box case templates provided require substantial modifications before they become usable. There is also a feature in the cases for notes that cannot be searched. They are only visible through the UI, which is another area for improvement. The workflow and execution-based charges seem misleading as this was not discussed initially. I am not sure if new customers are made aware of this. It seems that workflows revolving around cases hinder functionality outside of case management, as we have many use cases needing on-demand triggers and schedules for functions like reporting or polling devices. Creating additional workflows to achieve basic functionalities raises costs significantly, which disadvantages customers. While they facilitate optimization and scaling, the support received tends to be very basic. Improvements can be made in that area as well.

Has helped identify misconfigurations and prioritize risks but lacks multi-cloud support and deeper integration features

AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS. There are other products in the market for CSPM that can give you multi-cloud environment misconfigurations, even Microsoft for that matter. Regarding the integration of AWS Security Hub with third-party tools, I am not certain whether we can integrate them, but there is no need to do so. However, AWS Security Hub cannot integrate with other cloud providers, so it only supports the AWS environment. The compliance checks within AWS Security Hub are good, but we don't use them much. We utilize compliance frameworks such as CIS compliance frameworks and ISO 27017 framework, which are beneficial, but it can improve in other areas too, such as including NIST and other frameworks beyond just ISO and CIS. Improvements can be applicable for scalability, particularly on integration with multi-cloud environments, and compliance frameworks can be added for more variety as well. The unified dashboard in AWS Security Hub is adequate; I cannot say it is exceptional, but the content available in the dashboards is satisfactory for now.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Torq, I automate actions while achieving SLA compliance and streamline alert investigation processes much better."

"Since we started working with Torq, I am handling much fewer alerts, it is becoming really easy for me to handle an alert, I have all the information that I need, I do not need to connect to different vendors to receive this information, and the main thing I got from Torq is time, which now helps me to build another automated system and learn."

"Torq offers the best feature through integration with AI."

"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."

"Almost four or five hours of work is now completed in four or five minutes."

"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."

"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."

"Torq has exceeded expectations by delivering workflows in a timely and lower effort manner than XSOAR, and it meets all my needs while saving a ton of time and targeting $600,000 saved this year, which is a substantial amount of money."

More Torq pros

"I find all of the features to be highly valuable."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."

"It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale."

"Easily integrates with third-party tools"

"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."

"The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate."

"Security Hub provides insightful information about what is running and where there might be weaknesses."

"The solution is very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"Splunk SOAR helps a lot with consolidating our networking, security, and observability tools, and we are saving almost 200 hours compared to not using Splunk SOAR."

"So far, the interface is very easy to use."

"Splunk SOAR has saved us a lot; monthly, around 300 hours of effort, it is saving with Splunk SOAR, and it has helped us where we were able to run the SOC operation with the less number of headcount versus what we used to do earlier."

"Our customers find it easy to conduct searches and consider it an excellent content management system."

"I have saved much time thanks to Splunk SOAR's impact, where earlier, without autonomous monitoring, users took almost one day or two days; now, a twenty-four hour job is done in almost thirty minutes."

"Fortunately, the system helps to parse through these alerts and determine which ones are important and need further investigation."

"The customization continues to be excellent."

"Analysts save a lot of time with Splunk SOAR because all relevant details from phishing emails, including the email ID, IP address, sender information, and email content such as links or attachments, are automatically integrated into an incident and sent to ServiceNow, making troubleshooting easier and enabling them to start investigating directly or know what to do next."

More Splunk SOAR pros

Cons

"Additionally, the documentation for Torq is not very clear. Most of the information is presented in videos, which are not ideal for reading; there are mostly paragraphs and other text-based content."

"We have MCP that we are working with our cloud security platform, and we wanted to connect this MCP to the case management."

"If Torq could enhance its AI features, it would benefit customers significantly by making the platform even more user-friendly."

"I wish Torq's AI assistant for building templated workflows from scratch worked better; when you start with a blank slate, asking AI to help you build or template the workflow out does not go well."

"The workflow and execution-based charges seem misleading as this was not discussed initially, and creating additional workflows to achieve basic functionalities raises costs significantly, which disadvantages customers."

"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."

"Torq does extensive marketing saying that SOAR is dead and markets itself as an all-in-one solution, but this is not actually true."

"Torq can probably use more ML and look at what can be closed and what cannot be closed in terms of data classification."

More Torq cons

"However, the sheer number of services can be overwhelming when implementing something new."

"AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS."

"I would like a more fine-grained capability for creating custom rules and a more user-friendly experience programmatically in writing queries and configuring custom security rules, making it quicker and easier."

"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities."

"The solution is not wholly self-sufficient."

"AWS Security Hub should improve the time it takes to update. It takes a long period of time when updating. It can take 24 hours sometimes to update. Additionally, when integrating this solution with more security tools, takes time."

"Security needs to be measured based on their own criteria. We can't add custom criteria specific to our organization. For example, having an S3 bucket publicly available might be flagged as a critical alert, but it might not be critical in a sandbox environment. So, it gets flagged as critical, which becomes a false positive. So, customization options and creating custom dashboards would be areas for improvement."

"Although AWS Security Hub does a periodic scan of your overall infrastructure, it doesn't do it in real time."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"The Splunk SOAR case management feature lacks some of the functionalities like the possibility to fully customize the fields for the tickets/events and create custom statuses."

"The font used in the interface could be changed and made easier to read."

"From the improvement point of view regarding Splunk SOAR, I suggest including more types of LLM models such as autonomous AI models including Anthropic and Opus 4.6, as well as creating a playground for new users to work on these, which will significantly help solve complex problems and assist new companies in understanding how Splunk works easily."

"To make Splunk SOAR more usable, the tool needs to be simplified."

"Splunk's support for integration is subpar and has room for improvement."

"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 Splunk SOAR platform was not designed specifically for case management which is why this area needs improvement."

"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."

More Splunk SOAR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"AWS Security Hub is not an expensive tool. I would consider it to be a cheap solution. AWS Security Hub follows the PAYG pricing model, meaning you will have to pay for whatever you use."

"The cost is based on the number of compliances, core checks, and services required, and for more than 10,000 recommendations, the charge is just one dollar."

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."

"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

"When we first purchased our Splunk SOAR license, it was based on an event-count model. It was based on the number of events. I had strong opinions at the time that automation should not be stifled by the amount of automation you can accomplish, so the previous structure was not as beneficial for us. Later that year, we got told or saw at a conference that they announced user-based pricing. We are now in a renewal period, so we migrated to a user-based license model, which is more appropriate for us so that we no longer have to worry about stifling our automation based on the quantity."

"We renewed it this year. This year was the first time there was a dramatic increase in the price. It was kind of non-negotiable. It was just a high increase. We had internal communications, and it was definitely a surprise to us. In a short time frame, we renewed it this year. Prices are going up everywhere, but they are not always justifiable, at least not to our eyes. The pricing this year was definitely a big shock."

"I don't know the exact price, but for my region, it is very expensive."

"The licensing cost is reasonable."

"I found the price of Splunk SOAR to be good."

"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 an expensive solution for an organization of our size."

"The tool is not cheap."
