Global IT Director at OpenWeb

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.

Deepanshu Hans

Solution Architect at CTC

Improved threat detection has provided clear user risk insights and streamlined incident response

Exabeam's UEBA is the most valuable feature that I have found so far. Exabeam's UEBA displays the type of description that it could show in a console regarding one particular user, the rating that it shows, and how vulnerable the user is, which is very good. Exabeam's automation for incident response is very good. The machine learning capabilities of Exabeam are also good.

Shiboo Suren

Manager cybersecurity at Hexion Inc.

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."

"Once I started to use the system and I saw the potential, it changed all of our work in IT."

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

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

"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."

"The user interface and the timelines they use are the most valuable features. The price model is very simple so that one can understand it easily and there are no surprises within it."

"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."

"The UI was very clean."

"Exabeam has improved our organization by speeding up the investigation process."

"Exabeam's UEBA displays the type of description that it could show in a console regarding one particular user, the rating that it shows, and how vulnerable the user is, which is very good."

"Exabeam includes machine learning features and out-of-the-box rules that we rely on."

"The ThreatHunter in Advanced Analytics is the most valuable. It helps analyze compromised assets and provides analysis for any entity within my client's environment."

"Exabeam is very easy to use, with a straightforward platform and workflow, unlike other tools that require more expertise."

More Exabeam pros

"Before its use, analyzing each email would take at least 15 to 20 minutes, with some complex cases taking up to 30 minutes...With the automation provided by Splunk Phantom, we could significantly reduce the amount of time and human effort required to complete this task."

"I'm just a beginner on the solution and it's pretty easy for me to use."

"The most valuable features of Splunk SOAR are the easy integration with other solutions, including other Splunk solutions. The most important playbooks we need on the market come already on the Frontend. However, nowadays, Splunk changed its name, it's not Frontend anymore, it's Splunk Store. This is a very strong point."

"It helps increase efficiency and productivity."

"Workflow management is most valuable. It is easily customizable"

"Splunk SOAR helps reduce my mean time to detect significantly and enhances it very well; it reduces the mean time to detect by approximately 70%."

"Scalability is the best feature of the solution."

"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."

More Splunk SOAR pros

Cons

"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."

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

"Even now, we have workflows that are in production that use AI steps and I get different results, making it unusable to some degree."

"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."

"Exabeam should be a bit faster, especially in loading and vulnerability scanning."

"Exabeam's integration capabilities are not good, as Exabeam has a very limited number of integrations and no out-of-box integration, which is an area where Exabeam should improve."

"The customer service and support are not satisfactory."

"Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."

"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"

"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."

"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."

"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."

More Exabeam cons

"The dashboard could be improved and some other features. SOAR should integrate network capabilities, allowing us to also monitor the WLAN network. Splunk is also expensive and difficult for beginners to learn. It's hard for a new user to figure out how to visualize old threat data. It took two to three months to learn with hands-on experience how to use the dashboard, visualize events, and analyze threats."

"Improving the integration ecosystem can raise the quality of the bottom tier of the integrations so that they can work better out of the box."

"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."

"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."

"I think Splunk SOAR is a bit slow to catch up with the AI boom. Everyone is ingesting Copilots or some form of AI in their platforms, and Splunk SOAR doesn't have it yet."

"It would be nice if we could put it on other search heads, not just Enterprise Security."

"The application does not work properly and does not pass the log-based configuration. I feel that some kind of review should happen in the application. This review should validate things so that we can get the right information. Splunk does not tell us where the IP address is associated with."

"The technical support for the Splunk SIEM solution was average."

More Splunk SOAR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."

"The solution is expensive."

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."

"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."

"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."

"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."

"The cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."

"In my opinion, the price is high, but if you want good products, you have to be willing to pay for them."

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

"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."

"The licensing cost is reasonable."

"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."

"It's very overpriced because it is based on the number of users. There is no bulk licensing."

"Splunk SOAR is an expensive solution for an organization of our size."
