Nimrod Vardi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Automation workflows have simplified integrations and now need richer custom connector options
Support for Jira could be improved because currently, Jira is only supported in the cloud version. It would be a great idea to support Jira Data Center versions too since Atlassian announced that Jira Server has become end-of-life over a year ago. The connection with Data Center Jira is not super stable, so the Jira Data Center connector should definitely be improved. In future updates of Rapid7 InsightConnect, it would be really great to have some advanced capabilities for connectors. For example, if the tool is using an API, we could write code to give more flexibility for engineers to set up different integrations, even for solutions that are not available in the existing integrations. That would definitely be a significant advantage.
SS

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."
"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."
"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."
"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."
"Based on my user experience, I would recommend InsightConnect for its user-friendly interface and excellent documentation."
"The tool is stable. The initial setup is straightforward. The product is user-friendly."
"InsightIDR's Attacker Behavioral Analytics (ABA) and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) features have been very useful in maintaining our security posture."
"Rapid7 InsightConnect has great features, particularly easy and straightforward deployment."
"Scalability is the best feature of the solution."
"The product’s integration with other Splunk products is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the risk-based access control."
"The most valuable features are the Splunk SOAR apps and playbooks."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk SOAR that stands out is it has a great SOAR. The automation and orchestration module is highly mature. A lot of use cases are on user entity and behavioral analytics (UEBA), which is artificial intelligence and machine learning-based (AIML)."
"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."
"Splunk SOAR has made a huge impact across security operations and the business overall."
"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%."
 

Cons

"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."
"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."
"Support for Jira could be improved because currently, Jira is only supported in the cloud version."
"The GUI needs improvement, as creating workflows can be cumbersome."
"The technical support should be improved."
"The GUI needs improvement, as creating workflows can be cumbersome. More updated plugins are needed to leverage existing functionalities, such as APIs for functions like blocking malicious IPs in FortiGate."
"Splunk SOAR can improve IoT/OT security-related case studies or your use cases. Their integration with identity and access management (IAM) solutions is a bit shaky. They don't have good integration with a lot of IAM solutions. They do have good capability in terms of user access management internally, but even with privileged user access, they have a good module. However, if they have to integrate with solutions, such as CyberArk or IBM IAM solutions they are lacking, the visibility of user access is not that much."
"Creating playbooks using the solution’s playbook editor, for me, is very cumbersome. There have been instances where I have said to myself that I just don't want to use this editor. I might just use a code block and write my own code within it... The functionality in the playbook editor is 80 percent there, but that 20 percent is still lacking. They could make it more efficient."
"We've had trouble implementing the solution with Microsoft products. There seems to be an integration gap."
"And most of the challenges that I have faced with the solution can be found in the documentation itself."
"SOAR is probably the most unreliable product Splunk has and that's because most of it is content driven from what you put into it. There are certain parts of it that have a little bit of difficulty at volume too. It's always changing. There is new stuff coming out for it that's going to make it a little bit better, but it does have some drawbacks."
"I'm not an expert on Splunk SOAR, but I'm sure our team members know what areas could be improved."
"Splunk SOAR should improve its ease of upgrade, which is a pain point for us right now."
"The Splunk SOAR platform was not designed specifically for case management which is why this area needs improvement."
