Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Splunk SOAR yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Tines (Community Edition) or Splunk SOAR (Community License), depending on your technical infrastructure” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SOAR · budget prompt · first choice

“Ideal for Splunk-heavy security operations, offering flexible automation and strong integration with Splunk environments.” Llama 4 Maverick · SOAR · direct prompt · alternative

“If you want a more specialized SOAR platform and you have a mature SecOps team, Splunk SOAR is also a solid choice” GPT-5.4 mini · SOAR · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“SOAR capabilities bundled into their existing SIEM/XDR (Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk SOAR)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · SOAR · scale prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Acquired, not native; integration with Splunk ES is described as "hacky" and problematic” Kimi K2 · SOAR · negative prompt · hard negative

“avoid enterprise-heavy like Cortex XSOAR/Splunk SOAR” Grok 4.1 Fast · SOAR · direct prompt · hard negative

“rarely have the budget or dedicated software engineers to write and maintain complex Python scripts or rebuild broken API connectors for legacy SOAR platforms (like Splunk SOAR or Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · SOAR · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

“often perceived as heavier and more expensive to license than newer entrants... which may feel bloated for some mid-market budgets” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SOAR · direct prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Splunk SOAR. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 129 of the 154 answers that named Splunk SOAR and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Splunk SOAR's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Splunk SOAR, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at splunk.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
