We fuel our growth by having great protection in our system with automatic alerts.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This software is very fast to protect our system, we require the services of Splunk SOAR to implement improvements in our internal system, since our network has always been a constant victim of the threats that abound on the web, in the installation process we had problems, but we loved having technical support, the implementation was completed in a short time, it is a complete system to automate alerts in advance, it has very good scans to neutralize threats and protect our information. We reduce manual analysis, and we are more effective because Spunk SOAR has an automated system to eliminate any threat that even tries to appear in our company.

Pros

  • Automated analyzes that eliminate manual work.
  • Order of priority in the analysis, determining greater efficiency in the detection of threats.
  • Great time savings and easy code writing, without being experts we achieve good cases of alerts.

Cons

  • We found no major flaws with Splunk SOAR, but it is slightly disadvantaged by the acquisition price, as it is high and some companies may think twice before buying it.

Return on Investment

  • Decrease in manual errors, since the entire analysis process is automated.
  • It has priority on threats, which ensures that there are no false positives.
  • Good quality of automated responses.

Ladies & Gentlemen ! Splunk SOAR with you anywhere and everywhere.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The product has a lot of capabilities and lives up to expectations when it works. We have experienced many issues around deployment, installation, scaling, and certain integrations that proved more difficult or had fewer features than expected. Business problems and outcomes: * Automation anywhere and everywhere for the security department * almost zero downtime * Great dashboarding for both analyst and C-Suite or managers * easy to create playbooks regarding MITRE, NIST, etc.

Pros

  • Automation
  • War room.
  • Dashboarding
  • Playbook management.

Cons

  • TI procedures.
  • more playbooks for small SOC teams.
  • You'd probably need to create more custom playbooks and automation, so these most used actions should be created by Splunk.

Return on Investment

  • MTTR
  • Dashboard and war room for analysts and C suite - easy to show them results and benefits of Splunk soar.
  • Faster process execution, playbook action and results.
