We're about to pull the trigger on an AI SOC platform and I'm trying to set realistic expectations with my team and leadership.
Every vendor demo makes it look like you flip a switch and suddenly have AI-powered detection running. But I've been burned before by tools that promised "quick wins" and then needed weeks of tuning before they were usable.
For those who've actually deployed one of these:
How long from signing to seeing real value?
What part of the onboarding took longer than expected?
I want to go into this with eyes wide open so I'm not the one explaining to leadership why it's taking longer than the sales deck suggested.
