How come they didn't think of that before
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is straightforward to use. It was quite intuitive for my team to get started. The skill level required is much lower than we needed with our SOAR. We started using Blink not long ago and already have many workflows live.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. The docs could use more detail, but the truth is the platform is pretty self-explanatory, so we rarely even need them. Plus customer success is very responsive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our SOAR was too complicated to build playbooks in. We weren't getting much out of it. Now we have a platform that is much less complicated to use, allowing for many more playbooks to be built in the same amount of time.

Flexible platform, solid team, growing capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
Blink is, above anything else, flexible. This is an incredibly important attribute for an automation/orchestration platform, because it's impossible to anticipate every way a user might want to leverage the platfrom to solve their business needs. This flexibility could be a detriment and create for a heavy, cumbersome, or confusing system, but Blink's approach makes it considerably easier than expected. With just a few clicks, new connections can be created, new steps can be added, and full workflows can be built intuitively (not to mention the Blink Copilot that can take a narrative description of a workflow and create a template to start with - huge timesaver!). The other aspect of an automation/orchestration platfrom is integration, and Blink's approach is both easy and flexible. Creating reusable, secure connections from Blink to the various tools and platforms it integrates with is straightforward and simple. Further, Blink's "Runner" architecture means you can have certain connections that only live within your own environment (vs. leveraging Blink's cloud) - just another example of the flexibility and thoughtful approach Blink takes to this space. Lastly, I have to comment on Blink's support and customer success teams, who are absolutely top of the line. Since implementing Blink, we've worked closely with their technical support teams to make sure we're able to get the most value out of the product. This ranges from support in creating workflows, to tracking down bug fixes, to guidance and ideas on new workflows. Our "time to market" on any given automation idea is drastically reduced as a result of this support, which is incredibly valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Blink is an organization and platform that is rapidly growing and evolving, which sometimes shows in things like documentation. While support is outstanding, it can be frustrating when attempting to self-serve (really the intended operating model) when the documentation is missing or just not complete enough to actually get the job done. Sometimes, this means going and digging into the API documentation for the tool/platform you're running actions against to better understand how it's supposed to work. That said, the Blink team is always willing to step in and help answers questions and get things working!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First and foremost, Blink is providing the ability to integrate and automate workflows and actions across the vast and varied operating environment used by our security organization. It allows us to recognize additional value from these security platforms and tools and how they can interoperate. The primary benefit we're getting is in the speed, efficiency, and consistency with which we can act in the context of those security tools, platforms, and events. It allows us to shift time and effort for repeatable, predictable tasks from our analysts and allow them to remained focus on the higher-order tasks they accel at.
In addition to the core automation/orchestration problems and value, we're also using Blink to address overall workflow management in the context of cybersecurity incident analysis and response. How do we keep track of incident response actions, tasks, decisions, and outcomes. This allows us to create a record and repository of those events to further enhance our defensive posture, analysis, and response capabilities.

Thank you Blink!
What do you like best about the product?
When I first started using BlinkOps I really did not know a lot about automation. I've been actively using the platform for a few months and I have been able to build out some helpful tools for my team - FAST.
What took hours in Jira Automation takes a very short amount of time in Blink. It's extremely user friendly and everyone I've worked with from BlinkOps is so helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. Any feedback I have provided blink quickly gets integrated and they do a wonderful job partnering with me and my teammates to make things happen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BlinkOps saves my team a lot of time. We are a small team and having blink pick up some of the heavy load is extremely helpful.
Blink Automations and Self-Service portal has been a life saver.
What do you like best about the product?
Blink's ease-of-use console is perfect for scripting complex problems in the simplest ways. I am not very good at coding or writing scripts, but Blink's console is straightforward and easy to maintain. Their self-service portal also makes it a great tool for users who just need to run scripts but not create them. We have also linked their automations into other tools, completing much-needed gaps. Their customer service is very responsive and will gladly work to solve your issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some minor bugs along the way, an would love to see a desktop app in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blink has been able to automate system responses into a quick response time. We are also using Blink for automation workflows saving team members hours each month on trying to run multiple reports on systems and gathering the data together.
Time and effort saver
What do you like best about the product?
I liked Blink's out of the box automations.
As a small team with a lot of different responsabilites and goals I don't always get to everything.
I just loaded the critical cloud cost optimization, security posture and compliance automations, which enabled me to focus on more interesting tasks.

What do you dislike about the product?
Their no code canvas still requires improvments, but the team is very responsive and helped me figure things out relatively quickly. I would of also loved to see visualizations on top of their existing tables which they don't currently have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it's taking care of a lot of automations around cost and security I would otherwise have to take care of my self. Like pasuing our dev environments over night and blocking publicly exposed resources.
