Featured Reviews

Vyas Shubham - PeerSpot reviewer
Product Analyst at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
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.
