Centralized threat insights have enabled comprehensive dark web exposure reporting
The best feature that Cybersixgill offers with respect to dark web intelligence is that they provide very good screenshots of where the particular data has been taken, which allows for better visualization and understanding of the scenario, with the source being indicated through onion links that can be reverse-engineered for further investigation. We were really impressed by some of the features of the platform, and we were planning to integrate it into our day-to-day work, but I'm not certain whether that happened because I was serving a notice period at that time.
Derek  Lewis - PeerSpot reviewer
Account Manager at Chevron
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.
