Room For Improvement

Anomali needs better AI-driven automation, integration, pricing, threat correlation, user experience, and improved dashboard, validation, and transparency.
Recorded Future users seek better affordability, simplified licensing, improved integration, and enhanced functionalities to address existing complexity and limitations.
Combining all aliases into a coherent solution would be beneficial, as we had to review each individual source ourselves.

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

Security Consultant at Deloitte
It requires tuning to avoid alert fatigue, especially in high-threat environments like energy, where many threats seem relevant.

Setup Cost

Anomali pricing is medium to high, with reasonable costs; threat feeds complicate budgeting, typically involving senior staff management.
Recorded Future's high costs offer substantial ROI for enterprises but can be prohibitive for smaller companies and certain regions.
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
Recorded Future is expensive, with a personal rating of eight for cost.
Head Of Cyber Threat Intelligence at Discount Bank
The price of Recorded Future is a bit high, especially for smaller teams working on a tight budget, but it is very effective and relatively competitive for large organizations.

TarunKumar11 - PeerSpot reviewer
Member Of Leadership Advisory Council at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Continuous threat intelligence has improved brand monitoring and protects against leaked credentials
Some of the areas that need improvement in Recorded Future include email reports that can show unrelated content. Sometimes alerts pop up for articles that have been published years ago but were just recently discovered by Recorded Future. For the browser extension, since the main purpose is to present information regarding IPs, I think it would be best to provide us with an idea of where the IP originates or some additional information about the organization it belongs to. API capabilities in Recorded Future are improving, but there are still some features that are missing and some errors that are hard to handle and understand. The price of Recorded Future is a bit high, especially for smaller teams working on a tight budget, but it is very effective and relatively competitive for large organizations.
