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.

Protects against threats and helps with ransomeware but needs optimization for lower resource usage
We are using ESET products for our clients, especially for entry-level protection tools. The demand for these tools is primarily coming from our clients, and we sometimes propose them to our clients as well We install the product in a standard way as a product. The primary purpose is to protect…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect of Anomali is the threat modeling capability."
"We now have a very robust collection of threat intelligence based on the capabilities that Anomali provides."
"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"The most valuable features for me in ESET Endpoint Security are the antivirus feature and detection."
"What is great about ESET is the ERA Web Console through which we can pull various reports, monitor and administer all clients and servers, and the console is easy to use."
"This solution blocks the brand new malware threats."
"It is pretty easy to deploy. Its update definition file is small, so it can dispatch very quickly within the enterprise. The product itself is very lightweight, so it won't delay your endpoint. You also don't have to do any difficult configuration because it comes with a very good default setting. So, you just install it and forget it."
"The stability is great."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable. When comparing the solution to competitors it is more stable."
"The primary purpose is to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"The inspection feature allows complete monitoring"
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like the solution to be a next generation antivirus with some sort of artificial intelligence or machine learning angle."
"In the future, a cloud version of the solution would be great."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"High-end hardware requirements across workstations"
"The migration between on-prem and cloud has room for improvement."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit."
"The scalability could be better."
 

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."
"I do a two or three-year license for less than $100."
"The price is okay and I don't have any issues with it."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is affordable."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"Pricing for ESET Endpoint Security could be lower because here in Hungary, it's expensive."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus could be lower. From a customer's perspective, it is expensive."
"The license is annually, and the price is low compared to competitors."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
