Automation workflows have transformed our IT, enabling secure just-in-time access control
We work with them quite often, so we have a direct line regarding areas in Torq that have room for improvement. If we have a feature request, we can request it. I do not have anything in mind at the moment. We were a design partner for a short while, so we feel that they listen and that users of the system have an impact on the way the system is designed for the better. They have a new community, which is something that I personally suggested years ago. There are many people like me in different places and they might have already built the workflow that I need. Having the option to share workflows or to jump on a thread and say I have this need, did anyone ever build a workflow for it, is amazing. Someone would jump in and say yes, sure, here, take this workflow. I think this is an amazing thing and I really hope that the community will come alive because I think this is really powerful. This is something that I already suggested and it did happen eventually, and I am quite happy with it. I do not have any specific feature in mind that I have a need for at the moment.

Useful for automation and reporting and has open API for seamless integration
It was easy to integrate the tool with our infrastructure because all the APIs are pre-built. We just created a drag-and-drop prompt to integrate the solution with our infrastructure. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. Everyone needs to evaluate this solution according to their organization's needs because it can integrate well, but this depends on the technology you already have in your organization. It is an automation tool for detection and response, and while integration is possible, using legacy products could create issues. Some legacy products are closed systems and do not expose their APIs to other vendors. In such cases, you could run into problems. If you are considering this solution, check which APIs are available before you proceed. Otherwise, you may get the solution, but you must spend time on integrations. They provide integration support, but it's not automatic; it will take time.

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

"Once I started to use the system and I saw the potential, it changed all of our work in IT."
"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."
"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."
"If I review about 100 vendors that I might work with, Torq is definitely in the top five that gave me personally investment back, just because every bit of effort I put into Torq eventually became a workflow that gave it back to me."
"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."
"It is an out-of-the-box automated integration with our 20 departments. We perform L1 LiveOps automatically through the portal."
"The solution's valuable feature is its GUI. It has more than 450 connectors, which are excellent for connecting devices and automating integration. The solution has all the features we need. We deployed it in our environment, and it's fully integrated. Thanks to their open APIs, the seamless integration makes everything work well together."
"It helps increase efficiency and productivity."
"My understanding is the initial setup isn't too hard."
"In Splunk SOAR, I find the playbooks valuable. We get to create multiple playbooks, and within each playbook, there is a different type of investigation attached to it, which helps out an analyst or new analysts coming on board."
"Our customers find it easy to conduct searches and consider it an excellent content management system."
"Surprisingly, the mobile app is valuable because it is very convenient for our on-call analysts to respond and get alerted to security alerts and events wherever they are. We are able to harness the power of Splunk SOAR and everything that we are doing, and we are also able to alert our on-call analysts 24/7. From their mobile phone, they can respond to those alerts."
"I'm just a beginner on the solution and it's pretty easy for me to use."
"Its ability to integrate with other systems and applications in our environment is pretty easy. Sometimes if we see any complexity we try to involve a consultant to help us. Everything is through the built-in app. Splunk can connect to any assets through the built-in app. It could be in a platform, firewalls, or endpoints. It's easy if it's an app integration."
"Splunk SOAR saves time in threat response, and the time to solve an incident is currently the best in the market."
 

Cons

"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet."
"Even now, we have workflows that are in production that use AI steps and I get different results, making it unusable to some degree."
"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."
"Reporting needs improvement. MTTR and MTTD metrics aren't directly available in playbooks and require manual effort to achieve."
"The reporting, especially custom reporting, needs to be improved. Additionally, it would be better if it could be hosted on Linux."
"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.."
"While support is available, the resources around Splunk SOAR are more homegrown by other users, and discovering different troubleshooting methods is harder to do with Splunk SOAR than with Enterprise Security or other Splunk services."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the UI."
"Various aspects of the playbook development process itself can be optimized."
"What we have seen is if the workflow gets halted or if we want to halt a workflow, it cannot be resumed."
"I'd rate Splunk's technical support around five because compared to IBM QRadar, their support is much better. I feel Splunk should enhance their support, as it appears lacking, especially considering the costs associated with higher licenses."
"The technical support for the Splunk SIEM solution was average."
"Portability is one thing that is currently lacking. The open-source product that I evaluated had portability. It would require a lot of development effort, but it will save the cost of rewriting all the playbooks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
Information not available
"Splunk SOAR is an expensive solution for an organization of our size."
"In my opinion, the price is high, but if you want good products, you have to be willing to pay for them."
"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."
"I don't know the exact price, but for my region, it is very expensive."
"Splunk SOAR is more expensive compared to other options for SOAR."
"The tool is not cheap."
"The cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."
"Splunk SOAR is moderately priced, neither cheap nor overly expensive."
