Enables automated threat intelligence sorting and enhances proactive threat hunting capabilities
You have to have at least a threat intelligence background or a SOC analyst background to use it, as that's the information you'll dig around with in there. If you don't have that kind of knowledge, it probably can be a little hard to use, but they do provide training. They offer training not only for how to use the platform but also some basic threat intelligence training to explain what these things are and what these terms mean. My company is a customer of Anomali. I would recommend it to other people. I would advise making sure you don't pick it without testing other products and have your use cases well thought out and documented before testing, so you know it will solve the problems you're trying to address. Keep an open mind with it and realize that whatever you can dream of, you can probably do with the platform. Overall, I would rate Anomali an eight out of ten.

A scalable solution that provides a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network
ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network. The solution's threat analysis gives a good view of the network. We can then compare those vulnerabilities and CVS scores worldwide and get a good understanding of how likely the network is to be hit. The kind of report ArcSight Analytics gives is really good. ArcSight Analytics is a very scalable solution that is easy to deploy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We now have a very robust collection of threat intelligence based on the capabilities that Anomali provides."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"The most valuable aspect of Anomali is the threat modeling capability."
"The most valuable features are that you get lots of connectors, which make it easy to log in to my ASM, and lots of prebuilt roles from the company."
"The correlation engine is good."
"The two most valuable features of this solution are its stability and scalability."
"The features I have found most valuable are it capabilities for behavioral analytics and anomaly detection."
"This solution makes it easy to create use cases, and it is easy to move queries from use cases to the report to the dashboard."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"The solution is easy to implement."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement is the intelligence sharing within the Anomali community. The tagging system can be inconsistent, as any company can use any tags for their reporting."
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"Support in the past has been top-notch, but recent trends indicate that it has taken a back seat, as we often don't get answers for days."
"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"This solution is expensive."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
