Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "Digital Shadows helps our organization identify and mitigate cyber threats through their crawling of the internet, gathering information, pivoting it, and then sending those alerts to us which we monitor from our SIEM tool."

Room for Improvement

  • "For basic support from Digital Shadows, my impression is that it is six to seven because many times we see duplications or bugs, and the quality of the alerts is not up to the mark."
  • "The solution doesn't pick up all the brands of the URLs. I have a relatively small company name, however, the solution still misses a certain number of URLs with my company's name in it that are impersonating websites. It's not very comprehensive, to be honest."

Digital Shadows Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Head of Content at Pharmaflow3.0I've used Digital Shadows mainly for threat intel and reputation monitoring; while it's helpful, especially for impersonation alerts, its insights are somewhat basic, support lacks responsiveness, and it's pricey compared to other options or in-house solutions.
Head of Technology Operations at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees3.5I use Digital Shadows to mitigate impersonation scams targeting my clients by identifying fake websites. However, it misses several URLs with my company's name, impacting its effectiveness. It hasn't delivered a satisfactory return on investment.
