Software Engineering Manager at Deloitte

The stability of the solution has room for improvement. I would like Swimlane to provide a single space where we can go to code, build, and automate. Where we have a provision to create tables, playbooks, and tables to produce results, connect all the dots, and make the flow automated. This would make it much easier to navigate than having to jump to different places. I would like to have a single button to click that would start me on the journey of creating my own code from the ground up, from the workflow algorithm to the automation process. This would be simpler than what I had with Splunk Phantom, where I had to piece things together and connect the dots to get the full picture. With this new feature, I could create the full picture with just one button click.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Apr 3, 2025

Valuable Features

Customization, support, and a unified portal for logs are key features. Swimlane's ease of use requires minimal prior knowledge, offering flexibility for tailored incident response flows. Its integration capabilities allow connections to diverse platforms, boosting usability. Swimlane has reduced analyst time, enhancing operational efficiency.

"Swimlane is a very effective way to represent workflows involving multiple users."
"Swimlane enables two SOC analysts to work efficiently as much as ten analysts would without Swimlane, which translates to significant manpower savings."
"Our primary goal was to reduce analyst time, and we have been successful in that."

Room for Improvement

Swimlane's initial setup and deployment are intricate, and stability requires enhancement. Users express a desire for a unified space for coding, building, and automation, simplifying navigation. They seek a feature that allows automation creation with one button, unlike the fragmented process with Splunk Phantom. Stability issues arise, such as bugs in plug-ins and data processing latency. Enhanced version control is needed, and despite being marketed as no-code, it still necessitates coding.

"I would like to see improvements in the minor bugs that occur with each update, as some features might have issues."
"There is a need for enhanced version control in Swimlane. Currently, our version does not support it, making it tough to move changes between environments during significant updates."
"We faced a lot of issues with the product’s stability."

Popular Use Cases

Organizations primarily utilize Swimlane for security orchestration and automation. They implement it to orchestrate and administer security tasks for clients, use it as an alternative to Splunk Phantom, and leverage it for alert reception and case creation, often as a ticketing system. Additionally, companies employ Swimlane for internal security automation, handling ingestions and automations across various departments, integrating it as a central tool for security management processes.

Deployment

Swimlane's initial setup varies in complexity. Some find it challenging, especially when connecting to another SIEM, with deployments taking up to six months. Others experience a smoother process completed by Swimlane's team within a few hours. Deployment on the cloud is noted, and while Swimlane's setup is described as user-friendly, it requires customers to design their solutions. Some deployments have taken three to four months, including migrating existing playbooks.

Stability

Users report mixed experiences regarding the stability of Swimlane. Some observe no stability issues, although deployment isn't complete. Another group mentions that while Swimlane is stable, it doesn't meet their high standards, receiving a seven out of ten. Others rate it between five and six out of ten, citing issues like requiring repeated restarts, indicating that Swimlane's stability needs enhancement.
