Brice-Abrioux - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Cyber Architect at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Micro-segmentation has delivered deep flow visibility and simplified firewall rule management
Although mapping is currently fine, Akamai Segmentation [Private Offer Only] can improve by providing a more useful and visually appealing graphical user interface for mapping. While we can automate rules through API calls, this is not entirely possible with the same API. Navigation between different sources and generations of APIs can make it time-consuming to achieve cartography. While labeling is beneficial, there is still room for user experience improvements. The improvements are not solely due to the Akamai project; they also stem from issues related to CMDB and the information systems of our company, where sometimes the information is inconsistent, causing Akamai to be unable to automate labeling if that information is not consistently provided.

Automation has transformed incident response and case management has boosted daily productivity
TheHive is actually quite beautiful and very optimized. If I had to improve anything, I would say that it could improve costing. TheHive is pretty expensive right now. With a low number of users, it works for how the business runs, but I feel that it is pretty expensive when you want to go for the commercial versions, which is where people might not want to go with it. Cost is the only downside, but it is the major downside. I would like to share an incident with you about a recent meeting I had with a client regarding TheHive. The only trigger that they had not to go with TheHive was the cost. Everything looked very good and was very fine, but the costing part was hard. The costing part was something that made them hold off on TheHive and choose a different solution. Over the years, TheHive has improved significantly in how the platform is used and how cases are managed. One good feature that I appreciated when I moved from TheHive 4 to TheHive 5 was the dark mode. When Strange Bee did the rebranding and made it a closed-source product, they added the dark mode feature, which I need because I am not good with light screens. TheHive was the only tool having only white mode capabilities. Once they added it, they have improved a lot. Many connectors are added, and many more integrations are possible now with TheHive. Basically, the appearance, performance, and integrations have improved a lot over the years.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Akamai Segmentation [Private Offer Only] has positively impacted our organization by giving us a better understanding of our flows, saving time implementing segregation and fixing production issues because we have a complete overview that allows us to determine whether the flow is functioning or if issues are due to flow problems."
"Akamai is globally available with globally distributed edge locations and presence across the globe, which ultimately benefits our customers."
"I would strongly recommend using TheHive to others reading reviews on PeerSpot, considering it is an open source solution."
"With TheHive, we centralized everything, and now analysts only need to view one screen with all the features and tools to perform all actions through automations, APIs, and SMTP servers."
"TheHive has positively impacted my organization because before that, we did not have a good solution to register the tickets."
"TheHive has positively impacted our organization because it is a free solution."
"My favorite thing about TheHive is the interface; it was very easy to know what to do, where to click, and how to use the basic configuration."
"The people at TheHive have made it very customizable, flexible, and very security-centric, as they understand what a particular incident responder or security team needs and provide it quite well."
"TheHive was one of the management tools for alerts that really helped my company, which is why I give the highest rating to TheHive."
 

Cons

"It is quite expensive, to be honest, but it is really useful, as we see positive results."
"I would rate their customer service as four out of ten."
"I experienced stability issues with TheHive as it would lag sometimes, especially around midnight during my shifts; we dealt with crashes at about two AM or three AM, and when we captured incidents, the system couldn’t process the capture."
"I believe TheHive can be improved with the interface because it is somewhat visually unappealing."
"Cost is the only downside, but it is the major downside."
"Initially, the analyst needs to have some technology knowledge regarding TheHive, but once we start using the tool in our daily work, we manage to develop well with it."
"TheHive can be improved because if you want to use it in a small or medium company, it will be really good, but for a really huge company like mine was, I believe that at least on the free version, you will have big issues regarding performance because the solution is not built for a huge company like mine was."
"I would rate it a seven because I think the design could be better in TheHive."
