Featured Reviews

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.
Vsadalaga Sadalga - PeerSpot reviewer
Soc Analyst at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Improved threat intelligence has enabled us to prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities efficiently
In my opinion, the best features VulnCheck offers are its vulnerability intelligence, exploitation tracking, and risk-based prioritization. I find the threat context especially useful because it helps us identify vulnerabilities that are more likely to be exploited and focus our remediation efforts accordingly. The exploitation tracking feature has helped my team because it helps us understand which vulnerabilities are being actively exploited or are more likely to be targeted. This gives us better context when prioritizing vulnerabilities and helps the team focus on urgent remediation instead of treating all vulnerabilities equally. Another useful feature is threat intelligence context around vulnerabilities. It helps us connect vulnerability information with real-world threats, which makes prioritization and communication with the vulnerability management team easier. Overall, it helps us focus on the vulnerabilities that present the most immediate risk. VulnCheck has impacted my organization positively by helping us improve how we prioritize vulnerabilities by giving us better threat and exploitation context. Instead of focusing only on severity scores, we can identify vulnerabilities that have a higher likelihood of being exploited. This helps us use our security resources more effectively and respond to higher risk vulnerabilities faster. VulnCheck has helped us improve vulnerability prioritization and reduce the time spent reviewing a large number of vulnerabilities. We are able to focus faster on vulnerabilities with active exploitation and higher threat relevance. I do not have a specific organization-wide metric to share, but the main improvements have been more efficient prioritization and better context of remediation decisions.
