Enables automated threat intelligence sorting and enhances proactive threat hunting capabilities
You have to have at least a threat intelligence background or a SOC analyst background to use it, as that's the information you'll dig around with in there. If you don't have that kind of knowledge, it probably can be a little hard to use, but they do provide training. They offer training not only for how to use the platform but also some basic threat intelligence training to explain what these things are and what these terms mean. My company is a customer of Anomali. I would recommend it to other people. I would advise making sure you don't pick it without testing other products and have your use cases well thought out and documented before testing, so you know it will solve the problems you're trying to address. Keep an open mind with it and realize that whatever you can dream of, you can probably do with the platform. Overall, I would rate Anomali an eight out of ten.

Simplified threat detection and reduced policy deployment time
The standout features of Check Point Security Management are unified policy management, real-time visibility, and automation capabilities, making it a powerful tool for security management. Consistency across environments with Check Point Security Management helps me ensure that instead of maintaining separate rules for firewalls, cloud workloads, and data centers, we apply one unified policy that covers them all. This reduces misconfigurations and ensures compliance, proving to be a time-saver because rolling out a new rule or updating an existing one takes minutes, not hours, because it is propagated everywhere automatically. Automation is one of the most valuable aspects of Check Point Security Management, and it often does not get enough attention compared to headline features like unified policies or visibility. With policy automation, routine tasks such as rule creation, compliance checks, or policy updates can be automated, reducing human error and saving hours of manual work. Check Point Security Management has simplified administration in my organization because instead of juggling multiple consoles, everything is managed from a single pane of glass. This has reduced complexity and saved significant time for our IT team, improving our operational efficiency. For a policy update, I used to spend two or three hours across multiple consoles. Now, with unified management in Check Point Security Management, it takes thirty to forty minutes, resulting in about a seventy percent reduction in effort, greatly boosting productivity.

"The additional features offered by the solution are excellent. We didn't have a lot fo these on a previous solution, and they've proven to be an advantage for us."

Cons

"Support in the past has been top-notch, but recent trends indicate that it has taken a back seat, as we often don't get answers for days."
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"An area for improvement is the intelligence sharing within the Anomali community. The tagging system can be inconsistent, as any company can use any tags for their reporting."
"Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"Support is the main area that they need to improve. Our support experience is not very smooth."
"For those not familiar with the Command Line interface, there should be an option in the GUI for operating backups."
"The documentation of Check Point Security Management is not intuitive because it is for advanced technical support, and when I need to deploy different features, it is complicated for junior support or technical personnel."
"Also, the cost of the license is too high, it's too expensive."
"Check Point could improve by enhancing the networking in their solution in order to align it with the existing network architecture."
"Check Point Security Management lacks some of the competitor features."
"The management API can be further developed so that all functions offered by the dashboard are also available via the API (for example, Network Topology)."
"Performance and scalability could be improved because log queries and reporting generation can sometimes be slower under heavy loads."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"Check Point is much cheaper than the competition ($4/server as compared to $17/server)."
"The solution is expensive and there is an annual license."
"The solution is expensive."
"If one will be very expensive, and ten means low price, I rate the tool's price as a three out of ten."
"Do the homework because Check Point is rather expensive."
"This product can be used for 25 security gateways on a basic license."
"Price-wise, it is an expensive solution."
"The pricing can be estimated around 3 or 4 out of 10 in terms of expense."
