Continuous attack surface monitoring has improved risk visibility and protected our brand
Fortinet FortiRecon will benefit from stronger bi-directional integration with other tools such as SIEM and XDR from companies like Cisco, Checkpoint, and Palo Alto Networks. Fortinet FortiRecon needs improvement with integration with vulnerability management platforms, for example, Tenable, Qualys, SIEM, SOAR systems, and endpoint detection platforms. While it provides strong external visibility, tighter orchestration and automated remediation workflows can enhance operational efficiency and reduce manual coordination between teams. Improved reporting customization and risk scoring transparency would also benefit executive-level reporting and prioritization. External attack surface monitoring is no longer optional in a modern enterprise, and it is essential from my professional perspective. When integrated into governance, vulnerability management, and SOC workflows, Fortinet FortiRecon enables proactive risk reduction by identifying exposed assets, brand abuse, and leaked credentials. However, Fortinet FortiRecon could improve in terms of deeper integration, automation, and correlation with internal security controls and vulnerability management platforms.

Centralized threat intelligence has protected vip accounts and detects dark web exposure quickly
Pricing is a problem as I see it. The credit-based model is extremely expensive. If a company does not have at least €70,000 to invest, they tend to avoid the solution because of the cost structure. The issue is not necessarily the pricing itself, but rather the credit-based model. If the pricing were structured as a flat fee of €70,000 or €30,000 with unlimited searches and unlimited credits, I would see much greater value in the solution. However, with the current model, you pay tens of thousands of euros and still have limitations on your searches. For an MSSP like myself, this is particularly challenging because we have dozens of customers. If we conduct a search for every customer monthly, bi-monthly, or even quarterly, the credits will be depleted by the end of the year or even sooner. The credits can become expendable very quickly, sometimes within a few months. This is the only downside of SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I believe it is almost the perfect tool for CTI. I consider it the leading CTI tool on the market. There are many others that try to get close to it, but they are not even close.
