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.

Task persistence and integration ease have been key benefits
The best part of Swimlane is the persistent notifications and its ease of integration, requiring minimal coding. While it lacks response features, it can be integrated with messaging or queue services to achieve this. Any incident response requires additional integration since Swimlane itself doesn't react to incidents. Real-time data in terms of persistence is configurable, and without config, tasks persist indefinitely until completion. If using Appian versions below 11, integration features for Swimlane aren't available. By default, Swimlane lacks built-in intelligence, needing coding for integration. Although the Swimlane is beneficial and reduces manpower requirements, it's hindered by its lack of exposure. If exposed through services or endpoints, its functionality could be accessed without needing a local standalone application. On a scale of one to ten, this solution deserves a rating of nine.

Centralized threat insights have streamlined detection and automated phishing response
Based on my experience, ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) is already doing a great job in the market by decreasing threats from external sources. A few improvements I would suggest include integration enhancements, as users report that some integrations could be tighter or easier to configure. Additionally, plug and play connectors for popular security tools and threat feeds could streamline operations. There could also be easier event generation and sharing, as some reviewers mentioned that generating and sharing events or intelligence with internal teams or external partners is not as smooth as it could be. Improved pricing or tiered options could make it more accessible, especially for smaller organizations that do not require all enterprise features. Some users find the interface complex, particularly for everyday tasks such as filtering, tagging, or navigating playbooks. A more intuitive UI that aligns with typical analyst workflows would reduce the learning curve and boost productivity. To improve my rating closer to ten, the user interface can be simplified, as it is complex. Enhancing user experience and providing richer enrichment sources would further increase its value. Addressing these areas would make the platform more intuitive, comprehensive, and easier to adopt across all teams.
