Strategic threat intelligence has improved detection speed and consistently reduces analyst workload
Anomali can be improved in various aspects. Its AI-driven automation can further advance, and AI-powered investigation summaries can improve. User experience could be enhanced through simplification of workflows. Better board-level cyber risk dashboards could provide easier visualization. Additionally, Anomali could work on simplifying the pricing structure. Although it excels in threat intelligence aggregation and operationalization, stronger GenAI capability, improved executive reporting, and a more intuitive workflow for analysts would further increase SOC efficiency and add more business value. Regarding Anomali's AI capabilities, governance and security are quite good. Anomali has incorporated AI and machine learning primarily to improve correlation and prioritization. These capabilities are valuable but could be more mature. The platform could achieve better threat correlation, prioritization, more anomaly detection, and allow AI to accelerate intelligence analysis while further improving quality and relevance. The accuracy and reliability of Anomali's AI output are fairly reasonable and good. The AI engine works well, but this capability could be improved. Better threat correlation with threat actors, certain indicators of compromise, malware, and campaigns is possible. Threat prioritization could increase, and alert noise could be reduced through further de-duplication. While reasonable, this is not the best available, and other products possibly have more AI maturity, such as Recorded Future and CrowdStrike Falcon.

Experience seamless integration and effective dashboard while considering improved EDR configuration support
The way Cymulate works for EDR could be improved, as it drops payload and requires action from the EDR console for remediation, which can block the whole process of Cymulate execution. They should create some KB articles for the granular exclusion from different platforms and improve their technical assistance support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Anomali has positively impacted my organization and my clients by helping them improve threat visibility, accelerate incident response, and make better use of their resources."
"The most valuable aspect of Anomali is the threat modeling capability."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"With Anomali, we benefit by obtaining threat information prior to incidents, making our threat hunts proactive and having incident response plans ready, which saves almost 40% of the time from the traditional model."
"Anomali positively impacts our organization, notably improving our vulnerability management program under reducing attack surface management."
"Anomali is a very versatile platform, quite effective, and very fast when it comes to downloading and maintaining the information of the indicators of compromise."
"We now have a very robust collection of threat intelligence based on the capabilities that Anomali provides."
"Anomali has impacted my organization positively because our SOC team, which is actively monitoring all the tools—either SIM, SOAR, or threat intelligence platform—operates in multiple shifts."
"With Cymulate, the best features are the capacity to test the EDR or malware, anti-malware solution."
"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"Cymulate has positively impacted our organization by helping us to take care of the efficacy and reviewing the policies and configuration."
 

Cons

"Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"Anomali can be improved, specifically the Security Analytics feature, because I feel there is a slight lag in that."
"Anomali can be improved by expanding its capability to capture a broader range of threats because it currently has limitations and may not catch everything occurring in the world, especially from the dark web."
"I can mention one point regarding improvements for Anomali, which is more enhanced reporting flexibility."
"I believe Anomali could be improved by making the user interface more user-friendly."
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"While reasonable, this is not the best available, and other products possibly have more AI maturity, such as Recorded Future and CrowdStrike Falcon."
"One more improvement I would mention is regarding compromised credential monitoring. Anomali should increase their capability to fetch details from various dark web solutions where threat actors post compromised credentials."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"The way Cymulate works for EDR could be improved, as it drops payload and requires action from the EDR console for remediation, which can block the whole process of Cymulate execution."
"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"We have had some trouble with the agents."
