Automation workflows have transformed our IT, enabling secure just-in-time access control
We work with them quite often, so we have a direct line regarding areas in Torq that have room for improvement. If we have a feature request, we can request it. I do not have anything in mind at the moment. We were a design partner for a short while, so we feel that they listen and that users of the system have an impact on the way the system is designed for the better. They have a new community, which is something that I personally suggested years ago. There are many people like me in different places and they might have already built the workflow that I need. Having the option to share workflows or to jump on a thread and say I have this need, did anyone ever build a workflow for it, is amazing. Someone would jump in and say yes, sure, here, take this workflow. I think this is an amazing thing and I really hope that the community will come alive because I think this is really powerful. This is something that I already suggested and it did happen eventually, and I am quite happy with it. I do not have any specific feature in mind that I have a need for at the moment.

Reliable and good support but can be expensive
I have no real complaints about the solution. Threat detection could be better. They need to enhance their threat intelligence feeds. We would like to have more IOCs or more trade intelligence to not only rely on the intelligence of the engineer in charge but to have some threat intelligence and some seeds of IOCs and to have the host have some artificial intelligence to reduce the number of false positives. I don't see this solution being very scalable. The solution is pricey.

Centralized threat insights have streamlined detection and automated phishing response
Based on my experience, ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) is already doing a great job in the market by decreasing threats from external sources. A few improvements I would suggest include integration enhancements, as users report that some integrations could be tighter or easier to configure. Additionally, plug and play connectors for popular security tools and threat feeds could streamline operations. There could also be easier event generation and sharing, as some reviewers mentioned that generating and sharing events or intelligence with internal teams or external partners is not as smooth as it could be. Improved pricing or tiered options could make it more accessible, especially for smaller organizations that do not require all enterprise features. Some users find the interface complex, particularly for everyday tasks such as filtering, tagging, or navigating playbooks. A more intuitive UI that aligns with typical analyst workflows would reduce the learning curve and boost productivity. To improve my rating closer to ten, the user interface can be simplified, as it is complex. Enhancing user experience and providing richer enrichment sources would further increase its value. Addressing these areas would make the platform more intuitive, comprehensive, and easier to adopt across all teams.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution depends on the environment. If the environment is large then it will cost more. However, the larger the environment with more endpoints, you will receive an increased discount. If the environment is very small, then you might think it is expensive. It is always better to buy in bulk to receive a discount. The minimum number of assets is usually 500, with discounts on 1000 and 2000."
"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."
"They can easily adjust if you have the requirements which are required. If you have a budget cut or a budget constraint, they can bend."
"With RSA, there is flexibility in choosing the service, products, and the range that meets your requirement, as well as they are flexible in terms of pricing."
"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."
"It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."
"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."
"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
"The price could be better."
"The tool is expensive."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."
