Retire your SOAR. Stop maintaining playbooks.

The migration team audits your active playbook library and maps each workflow to ManySignal's response template equivalents. Custom playbooks that don't have a direct equivalent are rewritten in ManySignal's YAML-based playbook format using the natural-language authoring tool. Most migrations complete with zero playbooks requiring manual Python rewrite.

For the investigation phase, the Investigate agent uses the live alert context — entity history, correlated events, threat intelligence — to determine the most relevant investigation steps dynamically. For containment actions, the Respond agent uses a library of approved response templates. These are configured per action class, not per alert type, which eliminates playbook sprawl.

Realistically, most SOAR environments have 15–25 truly active playbooks and hundreds of dormant ones. The migration audit identifies active workflows by execution count. Dormant playbooks are archived, not migrated. The active set migrates in 4–6 weeks including testing.

SOAR approval steps are optional design choices inside a playbook — they can be skipped or removed. ManySignal's approval gates are enforced at the platform level per action class. The configuration lives outside individual playbooks and applies universally. An analyst cannot execute an account-disable without approval if the policy requires it.

Palo Alto XSOAR list pricing is $90,000–$150,000 per year for a mid-size enterprise. ManySignal replaces SOAR, SIEM, and UEBA in a single per-asset subscription. Customers replacing XSOAR alone typically save 40–55% on the response automation budget.

No. ManySignal ingests raw log sources directly — it is not dependent on a SIEM upstream. Many customers replace both their SIEM and SOAR simultaneously, ingesting sources directly into ManySignal. Teams that prefer to keep their SIEM can feed alerts into ManySignal via webhook or SIEM forward.

ManySignal ships 300+ pre-built action integrations covering the most common response targets (EDR, IdP, firewall, cloud IAM, ticketing). Integrations your SOAR currently manages via custom Python connectors can be recreated as Universal Actions in YAML — typically in hours rather than weeks.

Traditional SOAR playbooks break whenever source APIs change, requiring constant Python maintenance. ManySignal workflows use managed connector modules that are maintained by the platform team — API changes are absorbed upstream. The analyst team manages response logic, not integration maintenance.

Cyber insurance carriers increasingly require documented evidence of response procedures. ManySignal's immutable audit trail and case evidence exports satisfy insurer evidence requirements more completely than SOAR audit logs, which typically capture workflow execution metadata but not the investigative reasoning behind each decision.

Yes. A common transition pattern is to use ManySignal for detection, triage, and investigation while routing verdicts to an existing SOAR for downstream orchestration (ticket creation, Slack notifications, approval workflows). ManySignal can be narrowed over time as confidence in its response capabilities grows.
