# Lower SOAR Costs Without Losing Control

Traditional SOAR can require a substantial licence, implementation services, specialist labor and continuous connector and playbook maintenance.

TandemTrace can replace traditional SOAR triage and investigation: ingesting alerts, gathering evidence, correlating activity, producing a verdict, recommending a response and documenting the case.

Existing SOAR, EDR, IAM, email, firewall or ITSM systems can continue to execute approved response actions. This allows customers to reduce investigation complexity without prematurely moving high-risk execution into a new action layer.

A credible comparison measures total cost of ownership: software, implementation, specialist labor, maintenance, usage overages, AI, infrastructure and the cost per completed investigation.
