▪ Editorial verdict
Hunters approaches the SOAR problem from a genuinely different angle than traditional playbook-first platforms, using AI-driven correlation to automatically connect related alerts across disparate data sources into a single investigated case before any response automation even begins. This addresses a real and often underestimated bottleneck: analysts spending significant time manually correlating alerts across tools before they can decide what action to automate, work that Hunters largely eliminates through its native data lake architecture. Crucially, this data lake ingests and correlates alongside an organisation's existing SIEM investment rather than requiring its replacement, positioning Hunters as an augmentation layer that reduces manual work without forcing a rip-and-replace decision. Strong Gartner Peer Insights and PeerSpot ratings reflect genuine customer enthusiasm for this correlation-first approach.
The honest positioning worth understanding is that Hunters is part of a broader autonomous SOC platform rather than a pure standalone SOAR product, which is either an advantage or a complication depending on whether your procurement process wants those capabilities bundled or separate.
The verdict: Hunters is right for security operations teams wanting AI-driven automated alert correlation layered alongside existing SIEM investment. Organisations wanting a pure standalone SOAR product should evaluate Splunk SOAR or Swimlane Turbine instead.
