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.

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.

Migell Roberts

Senior Security Analyst at City Electric Supply Company

Security insights have enabled faster incident response and streamlined cross-team collaboration

To improve Sumo Logic Security, I would appreciate the tool being easier to use from a search perspective. For example, we have a few teams that want to use the tool itself, but they are not as savvy when it comes to creating searches from the core platform. I understand that Mobot has come out and is in the works, and it really does assist non-savvy users when it comes to querying the platform. As far as that is concerned, I wish that could be improved a bit more, but I do know that that is in the works. I would add that I wish for improved documentation. For example, we are using Sumo Playbooks and automation integrations along with that, but I have found that there has been a lack of documentation, very little to none at all when it comes to that. With regards to automation integrations as well, there are very few details included in them. I would also appreciate the AWS automation integrations to be more secure because currently, they are using access keys, which involves a user rather than roles, which is the security best practice recommended by AWS. I chose eight out of ten because to make it a nine or ten, I would lean heavily on the documentation. A lot of the times when we get around to configuring things such as playbooks or trying to understand playbooks, what I found was that documentation sometimes is not up to date or documentation is lacking. There are instances also where some security best practices are not being followed. So, if we are able to set up an integration that is not only secure, following security best practices, and has complete documentation, I believe it would alleviate the issue of having to go back and forth with support to check the documentation and things of that nature. My impression of the built-in threat intelligence feature in Sumo Logic Security is that it is comprehensive, but I would say that it could do a little bit better. For example, we have the TAXI feeds, which is STIX and TAXI integrated into the core platform, but the issue I am running into is that I am able to use that feed into a CSE alert; however, I am not able to see the contents of that feed. If I integrate CISA, which we do have integrated, I cannot see what IOCs are in that feed in the core platform, and I hope that is the case because, in order for us to better tune our alerts, we need to be able to see what is in the contents of that threat intelligence feed.

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."

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

"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."

"The ability to automate Splunk SOAR and customize the playbook use cases is the most valuable feature and is very exciting for me."

"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."

"When you design a playbook, you can integrate multiple log sources and define rules... After that, the platform automatically compiles all these activities and, based on the results, the analyst only has to indicate whether the result is a true or false positive. That reduces the time and effort involved."

"The automation part of the product is great."

"The features of Splunk SOAR that I appreciate most are the integrations with all the other applications and tools."

"It's pretty easy when it comes to setting up assets. If you want to fetch emails or call a REST API, you can set up an asset and grab that information."

"The best feature is the integration and the custom Python code that we can write. Splunk SOAR provides us with both of these capabilities, allowing us to integrate different security solutions with Splunk SOAR and take remediation actions directly on those security tools."

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

More Splunk SOAR pros

"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."

"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."

"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."

"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."

"Sumo Logic Security has positively impacted my organization by increasing engagement with different teams."

"The Log Analytics platform is the most effective. If we cannot find the data in other tools, like email security or NDR, we can fetch those logs in the Log Analytics platform of Sumo Logic."

"Sumo Logic Security has positively impacted my organization by increasing engagement with different teams."

"Technical support is always great."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"The pricing could be a bit more reasonable. It would be great if it were feasible for smaller organizations."

"There are areas where Splunk SOAR can continue to improve, particularly regarding the synchronization of information, as sometimes it takes longer than other tools."

"One thing that we would like to see with Splunk SOAR is the expandability to the threat intelligence feed."

"I'm not an expert on Splunk SOAR, but I'm sure our team members know what areas could be improved."

"The number of playbooks on offer should be increased."

"In my opinion, the focus should be on improving its simplicity, specifically the interface, and configuration."

"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."

"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."

More Splunk SOAR cons

"In terms of improvement, feedback indicates there is a need for a local data center in my country. This is crucial to sell to the government and financial sectors as they require data retention within each country."

"It would be nice to have an improved ability to scroll through logs within a time frame. Right now, we can search for specific errors. However, if we want to look for "before and after" within a specific time frame, it's not easy using the tool. This would be an improvement."

"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."

"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."

"I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial."

"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."

"A lot of the times when we get around to configuring things such as playbooks or trying to understand playbooks, what I found was that documentation sometimes is not up to date or documentation is lacking."

"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"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."

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

"While I can't confirm the exact pricing, some colleagues have mentioned that Splunk SOAR may be on the costlier side."

"Splunk is a fast enterprise tool, but it costs too much. At the same time, it's worth what we pay, in my opinion. We can efficiently perform all the functions and tie together the data. It's the perfect tool for our needs."

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

"Splunk SOAR is moderately priced, neither cheap nor overly expensive."

More Splunk SOAR pricing and cost advice

"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."

"The AWS Marketplace pricing is fairly reasonable for what it does. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap. It is pretty good."

"The AWS Marketplace pricing is borderline. Every annual renewal, we always contemplate if we are getting what we think we could out of it or could we do it cheaper with some other product."

"We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."

"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."

"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."

"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."

"The product is costly."
