What are the most popular security orchestration, automation, and response (soar) software in 2026?

The most popular **SOAR** platforms in 2026 appear to be **Cortex XSOAR**, **Splunk SOAR**, **Tines**, **Torq**, and **Swimlane Turbine**, with **Prophet Security** emerging as a newer AI-driven entrant in several 2026 roundups.[1][2][3]

A few notes on what “popular” means here:

- In vendor and analyst-style 2026 lists, **Cortex XSOAR** and **Splunk SOAR** show up repeatedly as established enterprise leaders.[1][2][3]

- **Tines** is consistently highlighted for no-code workflow automation and broad adoption beyond traditional SOC use cases.[1][2]

- **Torq** is repeatedly positioned as a modern automation platform for high-volume, high-speed SOC operations.[1]

- **Swimlane Turbine** is commonly listed among the leading platforms, especially for low-code orchestration and data-heavy environments.[1][3]

- **Prophet Security** appears in some 2026 rankings as an “agentic AI” alternative to conventional playbook-based SOAR.[1]

If you want the **most widely recognized legacy enterprise SOARs**, the safest short list is:

- **Cortex XSOAR**[1][3]

- **Splunk SOAR**[1][2][3]

- **IBM Security QRadar SOAR**[3][5]

- **Tines**[1][2][3]

- **Swimlane Turbine**[1][3]

- **Torq**[1]

If you'd like, I can also rank these by **enterprise adoption**, **ease of use**, or **best fit by company size**.
