ReliaQuest GreyMatter vs. Splunk SOAR

Our company generates more than a terrabyte of log a day and it can easily go above 2 TB a day. We were using out of the box SOC Solution from splunk to manage our SOC. We lacked the know how of using splunk and also lacked the staff to keep the product up to date to help us tackle the latest threats. We outsourced our SIEM/SOAR service to RQ and they helped us with creating new use cases which addressed the latest threat to our organization. RQ has people who research the latest threats and helps us keep up to date on the day-to-day security operations. RQ also helps with data onboarding if required. So we would recommend RQ to customers who are short-staffed and who lack personnel who could research security threats to keep your organization safe from threat actors.

Our company has very complex and dynamic security operations because of the large number of security tools and systems that we need to manage and coordinate. Moreover, it helps us to meet many regulatory and compliance requirements because it helps us to automate and document our security operations. We also use it to streamline our security operations and improve our response to potential threats.

• Some Analysts are relatively fresh to SOC. They sometimes get put into supporting large infrastructures.
• RQ has a ton of correlation searches that they use to provide end-to-end visibility. Most of them can be restructured to get the same results and this can reduce the number of correlation searches.

• A lack of instruction It can be difficult to contact the support staff. Limited experience from current users.
• It takes some effort to set up and learn new technology at first. More assistance is required from the support staff. The product's price needs to go down.
• Cost of the larger version.

As we already have a lot of clients being catered with Splunk SOAR and because Splunk SOAR is robust and efficient, we are already using it, and we have understood the product to a certain extent, I feel we are personally more enticed to use and scale it to a lot of business.

Building playbooks through the visual editor is fine for basic tasks, but once you start chaining complex logic or integrating 3rd party APIs you hit a wall that requires deep scripting knowledge.

Incentivized

We are able to automate almost every one of our use cases, even our threat-hunting, and threat intel procedures. We have 20+ playbooks and cover almost everything, even searching logs into Splunk, looking into TIP and external systems, enrichment, and collecting evidence for analysts; it can perform concurrent playbooks running.

Splunk Support is always great! In addition the Community is very efficient and active.

I never followed an in-person training, I gave my evaluation based on the online training

I followed training for Phantom admins and it opened a world for me

I already said that the main key insight is the knowledge of Phantom, so a detailed training for all the people involeved.

Reliaquest is vendor agnostic. They have a lot of correlation searches that they use to provide security for your organizations. Compared to other products we have tried we felt that they are the only company that is doing proper market research on the latest and greatest threat to our vertical and coming out with the latest methods to keep up to date. RQ also has a good leadership structure that we could rely on if we run into any escalations. Compared to other products that we tried they try to work with you holding hands trying to resolve your problems.

Splunk Phantom integrates well with Splunk ES and has many integrations. One thing that I liked about XSOAR as compared to Phantom is that it has an "app-store" where you can download not only app integrations (similar to Phantom) but Playbooks and dashboards as well.

me and the customers I encountered found it flexible and scalable

• RQ's Greymatter content has enriched our SOC experience because we always felt Splunk's out-of-the-box use cases were not sufficient enough to provide end-to-end coverage.
• RQ specializes in a lot of big data solutions so that we can rely on them to help us troubleshoot tasks and also make sure our security solutions are working accurately.

Incentivized

• The playbooks are valuable. They are the core component. Being able to implement and build a code process to work through and scale out what we want to do is valuable
• 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
