Sentiment score
6.4
Recorded Future offers varied ROI; efficiency gains are offset by complex modules, though dark web monitoring is highly valued.
The return of investment was quick and easily seen within the first 90 days, and that is when an actual quarterly meeting, a QBR, would take place to be able to show that return on investment.
We have seen a return on investment as we have been able to identify leaked credentials and close those accounts off easily, thereby improving our security.

Room For Improvement

Users seek improvements in data management, real-time updates, UI, training, dark web sources, and reduced false positives on Cybersixgill.
Recorded Future users seek better affordability, simplified licensing, improved integration, and enhanced functionalities to address existing complexity and limitations.
During the onboarding, that is the most crucial part to make sure that the organizations who purchase Cybersixgill ensure that they actually have the right person or persons to go through the onboarding.
I hope that in the future, Cybersixgill can separate the leaked credentials by email and domain.

Recorded Future's high costs offer substantial ROI for enterprises but can be prohibitive for smaller companies and certain regions.
Based on the needs of the customer, there was always a negotiation that could be done to get a slightly lower price.
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.

Valuable Features

Cybersixgill offers user-friendly threat intelligence features, tracking, and analysis from deep and dark web, enhancing security monitoring.
Recorded Future enhances threat detection and response with AI-driven intelligence, integration, and customizable tools for improved security posture.
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.
Associate at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
What specifically stands out to me about the cyber threat intelligence feature is the speed and the depth from the data lake.
I appreciate that I can search in the dashboard for credentials by entering the domain directly rather than navigating through other sections, making it very easy to check the dashboard.
Soc Analyst
Having a layer of intelligence within my SIEM that reflects in Recorded Future, and being able to enrich the data at my SIEM, offers various angles that I wouldn't be able to see without it.
Head Of Cyber Threat Intelligence at Discount Bank
The tool helps our SOC team save 30 to 40 percent of effort due to the reduction of manual threat detection and false positives.

Featured Reviews

Proactive dark web intelligence has reduced breach impact and protects organizations quietly
Cybersixgill has one of the largest data lakes around. I think the way they can be improved is to be able to initially during the onboarding, make sure that the false positives are correctly addressed to really do the tweaks that need to be done to filter through exactly what the organization is trying to accomplish and give them the outcomes they are looking for without all the extra noise or chatter. I just think during the onboarding, that is the most crucial part to make sure that the organizations who purchase Cybersixgill ensure that they actually have the right person or persons to go through the onboarding to make sure that the data lake feeds can be properly set up and organized so it can filter through the noise and the chatter.

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.
