Featured Reviews

NishantKandpal - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Manager at RJ Corp Retail
Proactive monitoring has strengthened our credential leak detection and brand protection
CloudSEK XVigil is a strong platform, but it can be improved in several areas. Alerts may sometimes include low-risk mentions, duplicate findings, and non-actionable leaks. Therefore, it can improve through better alert prioritization, smarter risk scoring, and stronger AI-based filtering. The second area for improvement is deeper integration with asset inventory and auto-tagging of critical assets. If we integrate this with our SOC platform, the team needs to understand technical alerts better. They could focus more on business-focused reporting and executive-friendly dashboards. Overall, the platform is strong in external threat visibility, but improving automation, contextual intelligence, and alert precision can make SOC operations even more efficient.
Viral Shaa - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Security Analyst at Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.
Intelligence-led security has transformed alert triage and now prioritizes energy sector threats
For the threat landscape, Recorded Future has a nice dashboard and reporting feature, though there is always an opportunity to improve how we visualize the high-severity sectors. It requires tuning to avoid alert fatigue, especially in high-threat environments like energy, where many threats seem relevant. Some advanced intelligence features require additional licensing, which can significantly increase costs. While Recorded Future provides strong IT-focused intelligence, OT and ICS-specific intelligence, which is improving, still requires supplemental sources for full coverage. New users or analysts newly onboarded to the team may need additional training to navigate the platform effectively. If we were to upgrade to a Tier 1 plan or an additional licensing plan, it should include advanced intelligence feeds that require licensing upgrades to unlock those features. Although Recorded Future is best in breed in the market, the company should consider lowering prices to be more accessible for mid-sized organizations where budgeting is a main concern.
