💬 Practitioner Verdict
“Faraday is the best open-source SOAR platform — the AI-powered analysis is genuinely differentiated. The trade-off: smaller community than commercial SOAR, requires self-hosting, and the UI is functional but not polished. For security teams that need a free SOAR platform, Faraday is the default.”
