European SOAR and Security Automation Platforms

A SOAR platform connects alerts, enrichment, case handling and response actions such as isolating a host or disabling an account. Because it holds credentials for your security stack and a log of every action taken, the vendor's jurisdiction and the place where playbooks run matter. The European and Israeli tools below range from open source self-hosting to platforms that bundle SOAR with SIEM or endpoint protection.

How we rank these tools — 4-step process
  1. 1
    European ownership, verified

    The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.

  2. 2
    Category fit and hands-on review

    What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.

  3. 3
    Compliance and pricing check

    GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.

  4. 4
    Position on this page

    Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect the order tools appear in. It never buys a listing: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.

Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects whether a tool is listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways

  • Shuffle AS of Oslo takes the top spot as the one standalone SOAR in this set that publishes its core under AGPL-3.0 and lets you deploy it on hardware you control.
  • StrangeBee SAS of France lists TheHive from EUR 26,000 per year, the sole published price floor among these tools, whereas Tines Limited of Dublin gives away an edition capped at three live workflows with unlimited users.
  • Guardsix (formerly Logpoint) in Copenhagen describes playbooks that execute locally inside its own platform and an air-gappable deployment, which is the clearest answer on this page to where response code runs.
  • SecureVisio, Guardsix, Sekoia and Cynet include automated response inside their own platforms, so for those four a separate orchestration product is optional.
  • Torq, Cynet, Intezer and Hunters are Israeli companies, counted as European by this directory but outside the EU and the EEA, and none of the four names a data location in the material we reviewed.

European SOAR and security automation platforms are tools that turn security alerts into enriched cases and automated response steps, such as isolating a host or disabling an account, and are built by companies established in Europe, and the platform ends up holding the credentials to your firewalls, identity systems and endpoint agents and keeps the log of every action taken.

Every European SOAR and security automation platform reviewed

#1 Shuffle

Oslo, Norway Founded 2019 Hosted plans and support are listed on the vendor site, whose pricing page loads client-side Demo via the vendor

Best for: Security teams and MSSPs looking for a self-runnable open source SOAR

  • Operating company. Shuffle AS
  • Jurisdiction. EEA, not EU (Norway)
  • Where the data sits. Install it on servers you control, or use the hosted cloud at shuffler.io (cloud region unspecified)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR

Shuffle is an open source automation platform for security teams, with its code on GitHub under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, and the README describes it as built for and by security professionals and as suited to MSSPs and other service providers. Follow the published guide to install it on your own servers, or sign up for the hosted cloud at shuffler.io. Workflows are built visually, with webhooks and app integrations as the triggers and actions.

Shuffle AS is registered in Oslo, and the Norwegian business register shows it as a computer programming company registered in July 2019. Norway belongs to the EEA but not the EU. Hosted plan prices stayed out of reach because the pricing page loads client-side, and the cloud's hosting region is not given.

The README points to Discord, email and training for support and asks for GitHub sponsorship, which suggests a small core team. The AGPL also puts obligations on anyone who modifies the code and offers it as a network service. Case handling is usually paired with TheHive, which the README covers in blog posts.

What Shuffle does well

  • Core code under AGPL-3.0
  • Self-hosting guide published
  • Norwegian company in the EEA
  • Aimed at MSSP and service-provider use
  • Public GitHub project with community channels

Where Shuffle falls short

  • Hosted plan prices could not be read
  • Cloud hosting region unspecified
  • Small team visible from the README
  • AGPL obligations apply to modified network services

Standout feature. No other standalone SOAR in this group lets you read the source and deploy it yourself the way Shuffle does.

#2 SecureVisio

Rzeszow, Poland (German office in Kakenstorf) Quote-based; a site page outlines deployment, support and licensing Book a demo

Best for: Mid-sized SOC teams and public bodies needing detection and response linked to an asset inventory

  • Operating company. Esecure Sp. z o.o.
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Poland)
  • Where the data sits. No data location given on the pages we checked
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR, Splunk

SecureVisio is a Polish platform in which the SOAR layer sits beside SIEM and UEBA, so an alert reaches the analyst attached to asset, vulnerability and business-process data. The site lists a CMDB and a business impact analysis module, and incident priority comes from a risk score that weighs asset criticality, applied safeguards and rule severity. A component called SVBot watches analyst decisions and automates some triage actions.

The contact page names Esecure Sp. z o.o. at ul. Hoffmanowej 19 in Rzeszow, Poland, plus a German office in Kakenstorf, so the contracting side is inside the EU.

The site claims up to 99 percent automation of actions and 250-plus clients and partners, both vendor figures we could not check. Pricing comes on request, and the pages we read name neither a hosting region nor a self-hosted option, nor a founding year. Reference material is mostly Central European, so check connectors for tools popular elsewhere. Against a pure workflow engine such as Shuffle, the asset context is the difference.

What SecureVisio does well

  • SOAR bundled with SIEM and UEBA
  • Incident scoring based on asset criticality
  • CMDB and BIA modules included
  • EU company with Polish and German offices
  • AI-assisted summaries and guided response

Where SecureVisio falls short

  • Pricing not public
  • No hosting region named
  • Smaller integration ecosystem than the biggest SOAR vendors
  • Automation claims are vendor figures

Standout feature. SecureVisio alone derives incident scores from a built-in asset inventory and business impact analysis.

#3 TheHive

France Yearly subscription starting at EUR 26,000 across Gold, Platinum and ONE; a reduced Community Edition costs nothing for non-commercial work Book a demo

Best for: CERTs, CSIRTs and SOC teams centred on structured case handling plus automated analysis

  • Operating company. StrangeBee SAS
  • Jurisdiction. EU (France)
  • Where the data sits. Run it in your own data centre, or take the SaaS version on a dedicated AWS environment (region unspecified)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR (case management), Splunk SOAR

TheHive is a case, alert and incident management platform from StrangeBee SAS in France, and it covers the part of response that analysts spend their day in. Alerts become cases, observables are sent to Cortex analysers, and Cortex responders act on the results. The vendor puts its user base at over 5,000 analysts in 50-plus countries, a figure it reports itself. MISP, MITRE ATT&CK, IMAP, webhooks and Cortex actions appear in the Gold edition.

Editions are Gold, Platinum and ONE, with the yearly subscription starting at EUR 26,000 and varying with deployment, users and organisations.

Platinum adds case reports, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace email intake, Slack, Teams and Kafka connectors, custom functions and SAML, and the ONE plan adds TheHive Flow, a native orchestration engine, plus AI capabilities. Deployment is on-premises, cloud images or a SaaS on a dedicated AWS environment whose region is not stated. A feature-limited Community Edition is free for non-commercial use. For a small team without that budget, Shuffle is the cheaper place to begin.

What TheHive does well

  • Mature case and alert model
  • Cortex analysers and responders
  • TheHive Flow native automation on ONE
  • On-premises edition available
  • French vendor that publishes a price floor

Where TheHive falls short

  • Entry price of EUR 26,000 per year
  • Native automation only on top plan
  • SaaS on AWS with no region named
  • Free edition barred from commercial use

Standout feature. TheHive starts from the case and its Cortex analysers, with orchestration arriving later.

#4 Tines

Dublin, Ireland Founded 2018 No-cost tier with 3 live workflows and unlimited users; higher plans quoted individually Book a demo

Best for: Security and IT teams after an auditable no-code workflow tool with a free starting edition

  • Operating company. Tines Limited
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Ireland)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Splunk SOAR, Swimlane, Zapier

Tines is a Dublin-founded workflow automation tool aimed at security and IT operations. Workflows are drawn as a directed graph of actions, a good match for incident response, where a false positive can close itself and a real alert reaches a person. By its own account the company dates from 2018, was started by two former security operators, and has SOC 2 Type II compliance with an annual audit.

Tines Limited in Dublin signs for customers outside North America, so a European buyer should see that entity on the order, since a US company handles North America. Three live workflows, unlimited users and connectors, and no credit card make the free edition enough to build a working pipeline before any purchasing talk.

Higher plans lift the workflow cap, with no price listed. The connector catalogue for general business tools is narrower than Make or n8n, and the product is meant for security and IT work, not for sales or marketing automation. Hosting options are mentioned by the vendor as something to discuss with its team.

What Tines does well

  • Graph canvas mirrors how incident response branches
  • Free plan with unlimited users and no card needed
  • Annual SOC 2 Type II audit claimed
  • Dublin contracting entity under EU jurisdiction
  • Designed around security and IT operations

Where Tines falls short

  • Paid plans have no listed price
  • Fewer general business connectors than Make or n8n
  • Geared to security and IT rather than sales or marketing flows

Standout feature. Among these tools, only Tines lets a free edition with unlimited users run a genuine security workflow.

#5 Logpoint

Copenhagen, Denmark Licensed by node or by device Book a demo

Best for: European enterprises and public bodies moving off Splunk or QRadar

  • Operating company. Logpoint
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Denmark)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar

Guardsix, formerly Logpoint, is a SIEM from Copenhagen in Denmark with UEBA and SOAR built into a single platform. Its card here describes playbooks running locally within that platform, a deployment that can be air-gapped, and an action record meant for NIS2 and DORA reporting. The product comes as software, an appliance or SaaS, and the tool page lists compliance reporting for NIS2, GDPR and ISO 27001.

Licences are counted in nodes or devices, not gigabytes ingested, so adding a log source does not raise the bill. As a Danish company Logpoint contracts from inside the EU, and its tool page lists EU-only deployment options and EU security certifications. On the downside, its detection library is smaller than Sekoia's, node counts need checking on a large estate, third-party tooling is thinner than around Splunk, and sales are aimed at enterprises.

What Logpoint does well

  • Priced by node, never by gigabyte
  • UEBA and SOAR inside the SIEM
  • Deployment choices limited to the EU
  • NIS2 and ISO 27001 reporting built in
  • Danish vendor holding EU certifications
  • Delivered as software, appliance or SaaS

Where Logpoint falls short

  • Detection library trails SEKOIA
  • Large estates must count nodes carefully
  • Third-party ecosystem thinner than Splunk
  • Long enterprise sales process

Standout feature. Guardsix describes its SOAR and its SIEM both running inside one installation that can be air-gapped, which no other platform on this list does.

#6 SEKOIA.IO

Paris, France Hosted subscription Book a demo

Best for: SOC teams and MSSPs that prefer the vendor to maintain detection content

  • Operating company. SEKOIA.IO
  • Jurisdiction. EU (France)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale

Sekoia, listed on this site as SEKOIA.IO, is a SOC platform from Paris pairing SIEM-like detection with in-house cyber threat intelligence. According to the tool page, the intelligence team's tracking of active threat actors feeds its detection rules, which map to MITRE ATT&CK, and case management plus automated response come with it. The card on this page adds that the automated incident response use case runs inside the same platform.

The company has its headquarters in Paris, hosts in France and presents itself as a sovereign choice for European SOCs. Multi-tenancy suits managed security providers. The price is a hosted subscription, typically by assets or events, so you must model it before comparing.

The tool page calls it SaaS only, though the card mentions an announced self-hosted option. The company is younger than the long-standing SIEM vendors, and its customer base is concentrated in France. The website moved to sekoia.com, and little beyond the homepage was readable when we checked.

What SEKOIA.IO does well

  • Detection content kept up to date by the vendor
  • Built-in threat intelligence that follows actors
  • MITRE ATT&CK mapping on rules
  • Sovereign hosting in France
  • Cases and automated response included
  • Multi-tenant design for MSSPs

Where SEKOIA.IO falls short

  • Offered as SaaS alone
  • Younger than the long-standing SIEM vendors
  • Assets-or-events pricing must be modelled
  • Customer base centred on France

Standout feature. Sekoia links its response layer to detection rules written by an in-house threat intelligence team, something the other platforms here do not.

#7 Torq

Tel Aviv, Israel (Americas HQ in Denver) Not given on the vendor homepage Book a demo

Best for: Mid-sized and large SOC teams shifting from scripted playbooks to supervised AI agents

  • Operating company. Torq Technologies Ltd.
  • Jurisdiction. Israel (outside the EU/EEA)
  • Where the data sits. No data location given on the pages we checked
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR

Torq is a security automation vendor that has recast itself as an AI SOC platform. Its homepage says agents de-duplicate events, build verdicts grounded in the team's past decisions, open cases and respond, either autonomously or with a person on the loop. Product names on the site include Auto Triage, HyperAgents, Socrates, Case Management and Hyperautomation, and the vendor mentions audit logs and a manual override. It also supports agentic runbooks for threat hunting.

The privacy policy lists Torq Technologies Ltd., an Israeli-law company in Tel Aviv, as controller, and Israeli law governs the website terms. Torq Technologies, Inc., a US subsidiary, carries the EU-US Data Privacy Framework certification and operates the Americas headquarters in Denver.

Israel falls outside the EU and the EEA, and with the customer agreement unread the signing entity is unconfirmed. Pricing, self-hosting and data location are all absent from the pages we reviewed. Teams wanting scripted, deterministic playbooks may get less from the agent focus.

What Torq does well

  • Israeli parent named as data controller
  • Cases handled in the platform
  • Manual override and audit logs described
  • Both agentic and deterministic flows
  • Broad product range from triage to reporting

Where Torq falls short

  • Prices not shown
  • Self-hosting not mentioned
  • Americas customers served by a US subsidiary
  • Contracting entity for customers unclear

Standout feature. Torq builds its main interface around an AI agent that works under a human override, unlike any other vendor here.

#8 Cynet

Israel (Tel Aviv-Yaffo courts) Quote after a demo form Book a demo

Best for: Lean IT security teams buying detection and automated response from a single vendor

  • Operating company. Cynet Security Ltd.
  • Jurisdiction. Israel (outside the EU/EEA)
  • Where the data sits. No data location given on the pages we checked
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR

Cynet comes from an Israeli endpoint and XDR vendor and carries its SOAR layer inside the platform, so no separate SOAR needs licensing or upkeep. Automated investigation starts when a detection fires, and the platform produces a graphical timeline, root cause analysis and an audit trail. Playbooks come prebuilt or are assembled in a drag-and-drop editor, and a phishing example on the SOAR page runs through trigger, investigate, contain, notify and verify.

Cynet Security Ltd. is the counterparty in the website terms, under Israeli law with Tel Aviv-Yaffo courts. We read only those terms, so the signing entity on customer contracts is unconfirmed. Pricing follows a demo request, and no data location is given.

Speed and automation percentages on its pages are the vendor's own measurements. The page says playbooks reach switches, firewalls and directories, but the list of supported products was not shown. Teams that want Cynet staff to watch alerts around the clock can add a 24x7 MDR option, which the other tools on this page do not match.

What Cynet does well

  • SOAR comes with the platform
  • Playbooks built by drag and drop
  • Root cause analysis done automatically
  • Optional 24x7 managed detection
  • Israeli vendor named in the website terms

Where Cynet falls short

  • SOAR cannot be bought alone
  • Prices unpublished
  • No data location given
  • Performance numbers come from the vendor

Standout feature. Cynet packages an endpoint product, SOAR and a managed 24x7 service from a single Israeli vendor, a combination no other tool here offers.

#9 Intezer

Israel (with a US affiliate) Starter and Complete tiers are charged per endpoint, figures only via sales Book a demo

Best for: SOC teams handing off Tier 1 and Tier 2 alert investigation instead of building playbooks

  • Operating company. Intezer Labs Ltd. and Intezer Labs Inc.
  • Jurisdiction. Israel (outside the EU/EEA)
  • Where the data sits. No data location given on the pages we checked
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR (triage playbooks)

Intezer sells an AI SOC that investigates alerts from endpoint, phishing, SIEM, cloud and identity sources, removes false positives, and escalates real threats for human review or automatic remediation. Its own navigation lists SIEM and SOAR as topics and its blog describes plugging the product into SOAR tools, so it often complements an orchestrator rather than replacing one. Starter covers one alert source and Complete covers all of them.

Both plans are charged per endpoint, with amounts available from sales. Starter includes automatic collection of files and URLs, deep investigations with sandboxing and AI, and auto-resolution of false positives, and Complete adds custom response workflows, an optional managed SIEM add-on and on-demand experts.

The terms of use name Intezer Labs Ltd. and Intezer Labs Inc. together under Israeli law, so the order must confirm which one contracts with you. We found no data location or self-hosting statement. It is not a general SOAR, because playbook breadth across arbitrary tools exists only in the Complete plan's custom workflows.

What Intezer does well

  • Covers low-severity alerts as well
  • False positives resolved automatically
  • Two plans charged per endpoint
  • Israeli company named in its terms
  • On-demand experts in the Complete plan

Where Intezer falls short

  • Not a general-purpose SOAR
  • Amounts not published
  • Terms also name a US affiliate
  • Data location missing

Standout feature. Intezer is sold as an investigation service for each alert, low-severity ones included, which sets it apart on this list.

#10 Hunters

Israel Quoted individually Book a demo

Best for: Small SecOps teams wanting automated investigation with no detections or playbooks to write

  • Operating company. Cyber Hunters Ltd.
  • Jurisdiction. Israel (outside the EU/EEA)
  • Where the data sits. No data location given on the pages we checked
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR (triage automation)

Hunters presents itself as a next-generation SIEM for small SecOps teams. The homepage credits Team Axon, its own staff, with building, managing and tuning detections, that scoring, correlation and enrichment run automatically, and that the platform covers everything from ingestion to response in one solution. It has no playbook editor on the pages we read, so it replaces part of a SOAR rather than the whole.

Cyber Hunters Ltd. and affiliated companies appear in the privacy policy, and the website terms fall under the laws of the State of Israel.

The navigation lists Hunters for Snowflake, Hunters for AWS and an MSSP solution, but those platform pages returned an error, so depth was judged from the homepage only. Pricing is quote-based and no data location is given. A team that already owns a SIEM and wants orchestration across its tools will get more from Shuffle or Torq, which is why Hunters ranks last on this page.

What Hunters does well

  • Vendor keeps detections up to date
  • Scoring and correlation run on their own
  • Ingestion through response in one product
  • Israeli company named in its terms
  • Variants for Snowflake and AWS

Where Hunters falls short

  • No playbook-driven SOAR
  • Prices not listed
  • No data location given
  • Thin detail on the pages we saw

Standout feature. Hunters leaves the rules behind its automation to the vendor's own detection team instead of the customer, which sets it apart here.

How do you choose between a standalone SOAR and a SIEM with built-in automation?

Start from where your alerts come from. If they come from several unrelated products, a standalone orchestrator such as Shuffle, Tines or Torq reaches across all of them, and your response logic stays when you replace a detection tool. If nearly all alerts come from one platform, the bundled route in SecureVisio, Guardsix, Sekoia or Cynet avoids a second contract and a second integration project.

The cost of the bundled route is dependence. A playbook that lives inside Cynet's endpoint platform cannot be moved to another detection product, and Cynet does not sell its SOAR alone. The cost of the standalone route is assembly: you need a case system, a ticket queue and someone who maintains connectors. TheHive covers the case side and pairs with Shuffle or Tines, and the Shuffle README itself links guides for that combination.

What do European SOAR tools cost, and what can you test for free?

Few vendors give figures. For TheHive the yearly subscription begins at EUR 26,000 over the Gold, Platinum and ONE editions, varying with deployment, user count and organisation count. Tines offers a no-cost edition capped at three live workflows, unlimited users included, and quotes paid plans individually. Shuffle releases its code and points to its website for hosted plans, but that page loads client-side and we could not read it.

Logpoint, now Guardsix, charges by node or device instead of by gigabyte, Intezer bills Starter and Complete per endpoint, and SecureVisio, Torq, Cynet and Hunters only quote on request. So the workable comparison is a two-week pilot: rebuild your three busiest playbooks on Tines or Shuffle, then ask the quoting vendors for a price against the same alert volume.

Does a European SOAR vendor keep response credentials out of reach of US law?

A European signing entity helps, yet it differs from European infrastructure. Customers outside North America contract with Tines Limited in Dublin, and a Delaware company covers North America. TheHive's SaaS sits on a dedicated AWS environment whose region we did not find. A European firm on American cloud carries exposure that a self-hosted install avoids.

Running the software yourself settles the question. Shuffle installs on your own hardware, TheHive ships an edition for your data centre, and Guardsix describes a deployment that can be cut off from the internet. Check which legal entity signs your order for Torq and Intezer, because both name a US subsidiary or affiliate next to the Israeli company.

Do Israeli vendors belong in a European shortlist?

Since 22 October 2026 this directory treats Israel as European, which is why Torq, Cynet, Intezer and Hunters appear in the ranking. Legally they differ from an EU vendor. Israel sits outside the EU and the EEA, so personal data going to the vendor needs a transfer basis, and none of the four gives a data location in the pages we reviewed.

The ranking reflects that and the product shape. Torq is a full automation platform, Cynet includes SOAR in its endpoint platform, and Intezer and Hunters take over triage and investigation instead of orchestrating other tools. If you need an EU entity on the contract, put Shuffle, SecureVisio, TheHive, Tines, Guardsix and Sekoia first.

When should you not switch away from your current SOAR?

Stay with your current product if its integration catalogue carries your daily work. A product with hundreds of prebuilt packs, as Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR advertises on its product page, saves connector work that every tool on this page must redo. If your playbooks call forty systems and the new tool names twelve, the migration costs more than the jurisdiction argument saves.

The case for moving weakens further when the contract still has years left, or nobody has time to rebuild playbooks. There, trial one European tool on a single workflow to see what a rebuild takes before the whole SOC commits.

How do you migrate playbooks from a US SOAR?

Treat it as a rebuild with an inventory. List the playbooks that ran in the last quarter, rank them by volume, and note which integrations each calls. Rebuild the five busiest on the new tool before touching the long tail, and keep the old platform read-only until the new one has handled a month of real alerts.

Pay attention to what the old product did silently: ticket creation, audit documentation, indicator scoring and firewall list updates. Case-centred tools such as TheHive hold the audit trail by design, while Shuffle and Tines expect you to write those steps as part of the workflow.

How we selected and ranked these 10 tools

Every tool on this page is in the European Purpose directory, which means the operating company is established in Europe and we have verified that from the company register or the vendor's own legal notice rather than from a marketing page. Tools headquartered outside Europe are not eligible, however good they are.

  1. Feature verification (weight: 40%). We check each capability against the vendor's own documentation and product pages, and record what the tool does rather than what the category is assumed to include.
  2. Ease of adoption (weight: 30%). Integrations, published API access, trial availability and how much configuration stands between signing and a usable result.
  3. Value and transparency (weight: 30%). Published pricing counts in a vendor's favour; quote-only pricing is recorded as quote-only rather than estimated. We weigh what a buyer gets for the entry price, not the headline feature count.
  4. Editorial review. Every page is researched and drafted with AI assistance, and the compliance and pricing claims are checked against the vendor's documentation before it is published under the founder's editorial responsibility. The three weights above decide the order; a position is a ranking against the other European tools in this category, not an absolute score.

Vendor-reported outcomes — ROI figures, margin uplift, time saved — are labelled as vendor claims wherever they appear on this page. We have not audited them, and neither has anyone else who quotes them. Read our full editorial process for how pages are re-verified.

Frequently asked questions

For a standalone SOAR with an open source core that you host yourself, Shuffle comes closest, while Tines fits buyers who want a no-code canvas, an Irish contracting entity and a no-cost edition. TheHive fits teams whose daily work is case handling, and SecureVisio, Guardsix and Sekoia suit buyers who want response inside a European SIEM.

Several can. Shuffle releases an AGPL-3.0 core together with an installation guide, TheHive offers an edition for your own data centre, and Guardsix describes playbooks that run locally on a deployment that can be isolated from the network. Tines mentions hosting options once you speak to its team, while Torq, Cynet and Intezer name no self-hosting route in the pages we reviewed.

For a small team it often is. SecureVisio, Guardsix, Sekoia and Cynet attach automated response to their own detections, so the alert arrives with context. A separate tool such as Shuffle, Tines or Torq pays off once you run several detection products and want one place to orchestrate across them.

Intezer and Hunters. Intezer concentrates on investigating alerts and resolving false positives, and its own site positions it next to SIEM and SOAR tools. Hunters presents itself as a next-generation SIEM with automated triage, and the pages we read show no playbook editor. Cynet's SOAR is included in its XDR platform and not sold alone.

Two vendors name amounts. TheHive starts at EUR 26,000 a year, and Tines has a free edition limited to three live workflows. Guardsix charges by node or device and Intezer by endpoint, with no amounts shown. Everyone else wants a demo or quote first, so ask for pricing based on your real alert volume.

All four are Israeli companies, and Israel is not in the EU or the EEA. Sending personal data to them requires a legal basis, which belongs in your data processing agreement. Torq and Intezer also name US entities, so confirm which one signs your order.
