Customer Service

Sentiment score

Sentiment score
6.1
Digital Guardian customer support efficiency varies; users praise global help but note inconsistency in response time and technical understanding.
They have strong onboarding and deployment assistance, provide a dedicated technical account manager for large customers, and engage in regular product updates and customer interaction.
Member Of Leadership Advisory Council at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
The technical support at Anomali is excellent.
Senior Cyber Threat Hunter at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
It doesn't seem very professional how they're handling support anymore.
Enterprise Security Architect V at FirstEnergy
For vendor support, such as Fortra support, I would rate it a seven because all the support comes from different parts that sometimes have challenges meeting time zones, and sometimes they reroute to distributors and rely on partners.

Scalability Issues

8.0
Anomali excels in scalable threat intelligence processing, integrating well with SIEMs and EDRs, outperforming platforms like Splunk and Sentinel.

7.5
Digital Guardian excels in scalability, managing large deployments smoothly despite cloud storage limits and occasional regional replication issues.
The scalability is massive, allowing us to store millions of indicators.
Enterprise Security Architect V at FirstEnergy
I believe Anomali's scalability is good; whether it is an organization for ten people or one hundred thousand people, the job a threat intel platform has to do will be the same.
Sr. Threat Intelligence Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Anomali's scalability is impressive as a mature platform capable of processing large amounts of threat intelligence and indicators of compromise data.
Member Of Leadership Advisory Council at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
Regarding scalability, it is a 10 out of 10.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
Anomali is stable and reliable, but recent function changes require better adaptation time for improved user satisfaction.
Sentiment score
7.5
Digital Guardian is stable and reliable, outperforming competitors but may face compatibility issues, needing maintenance and adherence to guidelines.
From a reliability perspective, Anomali consistently injects threat feeds, works on automation, performs reliable API integrations, and supports enterprise scale globally.
Member Of Leadership Advisory Council at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
For example, while Microsoft allows ample time for users to adapt to deprecated features, Anomali only gave us three weeks before switching, so they need to be more cognizant of customer use cases from their engineering side.
Enterprise Security Architect V at FirstEnergy
The good thing is that they have a health check page, and if any issues arise, they notify us.

Room For Improvement

Anomali needs better AI-driven automation, integration, pricing, threat correlation, user experience, and improved dashboard, validation, and transparency.
Digital Guardian needs to enhance partner programs, policy simplicity, cross-platform features, resource efficiency, cloud integration, and technical support.
Combining all aliases into a coherent solution would be beneficial, as we had to review each individual source ourselves.
Senior Cyber Threat Hunter at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Anomali should increase their capability to fetch details from various dark web solutions where threat actors post compromised credentials.
Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence Incident Response Engineer & Security Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Anomali's ability to correlate and integrate different Threat Intel platforms, such as Mandiant and PolySwarm, is another valuable feature, removing duplicacy and enabling the application of specific IOCs across various security controls.
Associate Consultant at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
The issue is that it works only with users or companies with more than 500 users.
Cyber Security Researcher at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Digital Guardian can generate false positives initially, which can be significantly reduced through proper policy tuning and data classification.
Sr.Technical Support Executive at Digitaltrack Solution Private Limited
 

Setup Cost

Anomali pricing is medium to high, with reasonable costs; threat feeds complicate budgeting, typically involving senior staff management.
Digital Guardian is costly but ideal for enterprises needing strong data loss prevention, especially in manufacturing.
Pricing and licensing are good, but the costs for purchasing threat feeds are somewhat complicated and a bit on the higher side.
Associate Consultant at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that there are not many follow-ups, but once we interacted with the product team or the leadership of Anomali, they managed a lot with us, and it all paid off to reach a conclusion that we would continue with this product.
Solution Delivery Advisor at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

Anomali offers comprehensive threat intelligence management with strong integration, automation, and reporting, improving visibility and reducing workload for analysts.
Digital Guardian provides advanced DLP, forensic analysis, and adaptive inspection, offering comprehensive security and regulatory compliance.
Regarding integration, Anomali has capabilities to integrate with different downstream applications such as Palo Alto, allowing us to create playbooks to block domains, URLs, or IPs directly within the firewall.
Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence Incident Response Engineer & Security Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Correlating IOCs with the telemetry data we are ingesting from our data sources allows us to pull monthly reports identifying how many assets and users interacted with malicious content, giving insight into whether communications failed or users accessed restricted content, providing complete visibility of the IOCs traveling throughout our environment.
Associate Consultant at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
It aggregates intelligence from hundreds of sources, automatically de-duplicates, applies risk scoring, applies context, and reduces much manual effort.
Member Of Leadership Advisory Council at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
The strong impact of Digital Guardian on my organization is in preventing sensitive data leaks to USB, email, and cloud, and in blocking unauthorized access in real time.
Sr.Technical Support Executive at Digitaltrack Solution Private Limited
Digital Guardian can easily integrate with this data classification solution and has a very granular level of configuration and policy tuning.

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.

Enterprise data protection has supported regulatory compliance and integrates with classification tools
In terms of functionality, many features are valuable in Digital Guardian, as the first thing for most customers is that they are using solutions such as Boldon James and Titus, which fall under the classification side, and Digital Guardian can easily integrate with this data classification solution and has a very granular level of configuration and policy tuning. Digital Guardian's data protection policies are indeed useful for my clients. Regarding Digital Guardian, I find it to be a very good solution, and in fact, it is an enterprise-level solution that has very tight integration with most of the products, with Fortra but also with others.
