What I liked the most about Torq is the actual workflow builder, which is really great because they offer a lot of features and convenience features that are useful for any automation engineer.

Torq has definitely changed the day-to-day experience for our security analysts, as they feel more excited and feel that Torq interface and workflow allow them to build things themselves.

Torq has changed the day-to-day experience for my security analysts and me by saving literally thousands of man-hours per month since we have implemented some of these use cases.

Torq has exceeded expectations by delivering workflows in a timely and lower effort manner than XSOAR, and it meets all my needs while saving a ton of time and targeting $600,000 saved this year, which is a substantial amount of money.

Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone.

Under one SOC tool in Torq, analysts get to know everything within the context of an alert or incident they are working on, and this ability to view the whole picture within Torq is one of the major breakthroughs and best offerings of Torq.

With Torq, I automate actions while achieving SLA compliance and streamline alert investigation processes much better.

If I review about 100 vendors that I might work with, Torq is definitely in the top five that gave me personally investment back, just because every bit of effort I put into Torq eventually became a workflow that gave it back to me.

Torq has impacted my organization positively by allowing us to earn time and invest resources in other projects that are more meaningful and more interesting, pushing deeper into what a SOC is, and building our processes.

The workflow and execution-based charges seem misleading as this was not discussed initially, and creating additional workflows to achieve basic functionalities raises costs significantly, which disadvantages customers.

However, we did encounter some problems with custom steps, which definitely affected our progress, and the speed of bug fixes is also a bit slower than expected.
SH

The case management piece, due to the platform being an automation-first tool, lacks real robust out-of-the-box case templates or good solutions for creating those without spending a lot of time doing development work, which makes the overall experience poor, honestly.

I wish Torq's AI assistant for building templated workflows from scratch worked better; when you start with a blank slate, asking AI to help you build or template the workflow out does not go well.

Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes.

Torq does extensive marketing saying that SOAR is dead and markets itself as an all-in-one solution, but this is not actually true.

If Torq could enhance its AI features, it would benefit customers significantly by making the platform even more user-friendly.

Even now, we have workflows that are in production that use AI steps and I get different results, making it unusable to some degree.

There are some issues and bugs that I think need to be fixed, but they are currently not focused on it.

What has not worked as well as I hoped with Torq is related to product data management and storing data, although it still provides faster response and saves time.
