	Splunk SOAR
Scalability		Scaling complex workflows can require added tuning and support.	Executes 25M+ actions per day across high-volume SOC environments.
Playbook automation		Advanced workflows may require deeper technical expertise.	Low-code playbooks help teams build, update, and reuse workflows faster.
AI		Limited native AI depth for investigation, reporting, and playbook support.	Hero AI delivers fully agentic investigations, builder agents for playbooks, data visualization, and ingestion, all with LLM choice and the ability to build your own agents for use within playbooks.
AI governance		Limited support for governed AI recommendations and approvals.	Keeps AI-assisted actions controlled with analyst oversight and approval gates.
Integrations		Offers third-party integrations across security and IT tools.	Connects to any API, covering all SIEM, EDR, XDR, IAM, ITSM, cloud, email, threat intelligence, and vulnerability tools.
Case Management		Supports case management within security workflows.	Tracks evidence, ownership, escalation, risk, and response history in one customizable workspace.
Reporting and dashboards		Reporting and dashboard flexibility may depend on configuration.	Gives analysts, leaders, and compliance teams clear views into cases, workload, risk, and outcomes.
Deployment flexibility		Works well for teams already invested in the Splunk ecosystem.	Supports cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and complex enterprise environments.
Total cost of ownership		Costs can grow through maintenance, customization, and scaling effort.	Reduces overhead with agentic AI automation, reusable components, AI building agents, and flexible reporting.

Simpler Playbook Management

Build, update, and reuse response workflows without relying on developers for every change.

Scalable AI SOC

Support high-volume triage, enrichment, escalation, and response across more use cases and teams.

Clearer Reporting and Dashboards

Track case status, response time, workload, risk, and automation impact in views built for analysts and leaders.

Broader Security Integrations

Connect critical security, IT, cloud, identity, and threat intelligence tools without adding new silos.

AI-Assisted Response

Use agentic AI to summarize cases, recommend next steps, support reporting, run autonomous investigations and keep approved actions governed.

It really takes time to understand all the sections from playbooks, integrations, automations etc where it lead to steeper learning curve.

It felt like the product plateaued when Phantom was purchased by Splunk. From that point forward, changes were less frequent and support was less responsive.
