Effective threat modeling and intelligence prioritization streamline threat hunting
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. Combining all aliases into a coherent solution would be beneficial, as we had to review each individual source ourselves. This would improve intelligence collection across Anomali.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of Anomali is the threat modeling capability."
"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."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"The solution is easy to use and install, with good pricing."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"The tech support from ESET is amazing, and I would rate it as ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"ESET's strong points are that it is an unintrusive, easy-to-maintain, and deploy antivirus solution."
 

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."
"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."
"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"Its automation can be improved."
 

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."
"There is a license needed to use ESET Protect. The licensing cost is very low, it is approximately $10 per license."
"The product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
