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.

Protects an organization from the threat of a data breach or cyberattack
The vendors themselves will actually help with any customizations a client may require. Many vendors don't offer this service or if they do, they charge very high rates. Their vendors are very helpful; they will walk you through the whole Playbook until you have a good grasp of the product. Also, in terms of integration, it is very seamless compared to other cybersecurity products. They also have good features such as multi-tenancy. Every user would like to see these kinds of fanciful features on a robust interface. It actually makes the user feel like they are in a sci-fi movie.

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

"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."
"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."
"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."
"Torq's unified platform approach to AI, SOAR, automation, and case management is superior compared to my experience managing multiple point solutions."
"Once I started to use the system and I saw the potential, it changed all of our work in IT."
"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."
"Torq has helped a lot regarding SOC analyst efficiency."
"The vendors themselves will actually help with any customizations a client may require, and their vendors are very helpful; they will walk you through the whole Playbook until you have a good grasp of the product."
"The vendors themselves will actually help with any customizations a client may require"
"Workflow management is most valuable. It is easily customizable"
"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 Splunk SOAR that stands out is it has a great SOAR, the automation and orchestration module is highly mature, and a lot of use cases are on user entity and behavioral analytics (UEBA), which is artificial intelligence and machine learning-based (AIML)."
"The product’s integration with other Splunk products is valuable."
"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."
"My understanding is the initial setup isn't too hard."
"I have found all the security automation platform features of Splunk SOAR to be good. The Automation playbook development is highly useful."
"Technical support is helpful."
 

Cons

"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"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."
"We have MCP that we are working with our cloud security platform, and we wanted to connect this MCP to the case management."
"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."
"Regarding the pricing of Torq, I would say it is expensive."
"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."
"Because we are located in Singapore, there is a time-zone difference with customer support. The support is not 24/7 so we have to work with them on their schedule for deployment and customization, which is usually in the afternoon, Singapore time."
"The support is not 24/7."
"The cost of Splunk SOAR has room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Providing Splunk app developers and playbook developers Python Stub files so that way when they create custom code through their IDE, they can have IntelliCode suggestions."
"And most of the challenges that I have faced with the solution can be found in the documentation itself."
"In the beginning, we couldn't find any specific documents for every function. It wasn't easy to navigate to what we needed."
"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.."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
Information not available
"Splunk SOAR is more expensive compared to other options for SOAR."
"Splunk SOAR is moderately priced, neither cheap nor overly expensive."
"While I can't confirm the exact pricing, some colleagues have mentioned that Splunk SOAR may be on the costlier side."
"The licensing cost 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."
"I found the price of Splunk SOAR to be good."
"I don't know the exact price, but for my region, it is very expensive."
"The cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."
