Overall Satisfaction with Splunk SOAR

There are only few really good SOAR available in market which excel at automation and Splunk SOAR is one of them. We used Splunk SOAR to automate blue team operations (SOC team). We have used playbooks for lots of repetitive task such as forwarding alerts to other 3rd party tools, open/close cases in case management tool, analyzing phishing emails etc.
  • Excellent UI
  • Easy to make playbooks
  • Very good collaboration tools
  • Lots of integrations
  • Price
  • Splunk SOAR has lots of integration, still needs more
  • Should be easy to scale
  • Reduced MTTR by almost 40-50% on average
  • Automated response based on certain events
  • Helps a lot with process standardisation
For the most time Splunk SOAR works flawlessly, without any problems. However, when incoming event volume is huge it may slowdown a bit or sometimes misses execution. When running a on-prem version if your server specs are not very high or as per recommendation it may start crashing or slow down sometimes.

I my experience I have found Splunk SOAR very well suited when you're looking to reduce response time of a SOC analyst. i.e. Splunk SOAR does very well job when looking to forward alerts or events / incidents to various communication channel, analyse events to determine if its false positive or not etc. Also I personally think dashboard can be little better.
