# Which incident response platform offers the fastest containment capabilities?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">One of the biggest things I’ve learned in incident response is that speed matters more than almost anything else. If you can’t contain quickly — isolate the system, kick off playbooks, lock down access, everything else just snowballs. I’ve been looking at G2’s reviews and on specific IR features, and their satisfaction score and here’s what stood out for containment:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/knowbe4-phisher-phisher-plus/reviews"><strong>KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus:</strong></a> strong reputation for phishing response, and reviewers note it handles resolution steps quickly once alerts come in.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/dynatrace/reviews"><strong>Dynatrace</strong></a><strong>:</strong> solid at tying observability into incident response, though containment seems to be more about visibility than automation.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/datadog/reviews"><strong>Datadog</strong></a>: a monitoring-first platform, but it’s gotten a lot of credit for triggering workflows fast and centralizing alerts into action.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/tines/reviews"><strong>Tines</strong></a><strong>:</strong> automation-heavy, and users highlight how fast playbooks execute for containment tasks.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/torq/reviews"><strong>Torq</strong></a>: similar to Tines but especially praised for how quickly you can spin up workflows to isolate and respond.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/cynet-all-in-one-cybersecurity-platform/reviews"><strong>Cynet</strong></a><strong>:</strong> often mentioned as one of the strongest all-around when it comes to fast containment, since it combines automation, isolation, and threat intel in one place.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/servicenow-security-operations/reviews"><strong>ServiceNow Security Operations</strong></a><strong>:</strong>  more of an enterprise tool, but teams say it helps standardize containment across big, complex environments.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/palo-alto-cortex-xsiam/reviews"><strong>Palo Alto Cortex XSIAM</strong></a><strong>:</strong> works best for shops already deep in Palo Alto’s ecosystem; containment benefits mostly come from tight integration with the rest of their stack.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ibm-instana/reviews"><strong>IBM Instana</strong></a><strong>:</strong> not much data on containment features specifically.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/cyrebro/reviews"><strong>CYREBRO</strong></a><strong>:</strong> smaller footprint but solid feedback on how it centralizes containment actions for leaner teams.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">From the looks of it, Cynet, Torq, and Tines come out as the fastest containment players if you want automation-heavy workflows, while ServiceNow and others look strong in structured environments.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Curious what others here think — which platform has actually been the fastest at containing incidents in your real-world experience?</p>

&lt;p&gt;For folks who’ve used these in real incidents, what made the biggest difference for containment speed? Was it automation kicking in right away, the ability to isolate systems fast, or just how smooth the workflows were to execute under pressure?&lt;/p&gt;
