I believe Anomali's scalability is good; whether it is an organization for ten people or one hundred thousand people, the job a threat intel platform has to do will be the same.
Sr. Threat Intelligence Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Anomali's scalability is impressive as a mature platform capable of processing large amounts of threat intelligence and indicators of compromise data.

When delving deep into the concepts, there is a lot to address and learn, especially when facing real-time scenarios.
Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
You can scale it out pretty easily, and you can implement it very small.

Stability Issues

8.4
Anomali shows high stability and reliability globally but requires improved management of platform changes for better adaptation.
Sentiment score
7.9
Idira Identity is reliable with high performance ratings, occasional regional issues, and strong user confidence in its stability.
From a reliability perspective, Anomali consistently injects threat feeds, works on automation, performs reliable API integrations, and supports enterprise scale globally.
Global Leadership Council at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
For example, while Microsoft allows ample time for users to adapt to deprecated features, Anomali only gave us three weeks before switching, so they need to be more cognizant of customer use cases from their engineering side.
Enterprise Security Architect V at FirstEnergy
The good thing is that they have a health check page, and if any issues arise, they notify us.
Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence Incident Response Engineer & Security Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
We no longer have our data infiltrated by unauthorized persons, and tracking actions within the system has become very easy.

Access Management Analyst at Telefónica
With a stable network, due to the redundant data centers across the globe, it is a lot easier to use as a SaaS solution.

Room For Improvement

Anomali needs AI upgrades, improved interface, better threat handling, expanded GenAI, streamlined features, and integration enhancements.
Idira Identity faces challenges with integration, usability, documentation clarity, and CyberArk struggles with reporting complexity and scalability issues.
Combining all aliases into a coherent solution would be beneficial, as we had to review each individual source ourselves.
Senior Cyber Threat Hunter at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Anomali should increase their capability to fetch details from various dark web solutions where threat actors post compromised credentials.
Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence Incident Response Engineer & Security Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Anomali's ability to correlate and integrate different Threat Intel platforms, such as Mandiant and PolySwarm, is another valuable feature, removing duplicacy and enabling the application of specific IOCs across various security controls.
Associate Consultant at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
It would be helpful if they released a generalized document for processes such as migration.
Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity.
Head of IT at Skutin Solutions
There's a need to enhance network performance.

Setup Cost

Anomali offers medium to high pricing with flexible licensing, enterprise contracts, and trusted leadership influencing continued usage.
Idira Identity offers flexible, slightly expensive pricing with justified service quality and discounts, appealing to medium to large enterprises.
Pricing and licensing are good, but the costs for purchasing threat feeds are somewhat complicated and a bit on the higher side.
Associate Consultant at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
My experience with Anomali's pricing is that it is higher compared to other open-source alternatives.
Senior Information Technology Security Consultant at Mideast Data Systems
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that there are not many follow-ups, but once we interacted with the product team or the leadership of Anomali, they managed a lot with us, and it all paid off to reach a conclusion that we would continue with this product.
Solution Delivery Advisor at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Regarding pricing, it can be quite a lot for small companies.
Access Management Analyst at Telefónica
If I am not going fully cloud, there are additional resources I will need to purchase, such as spinning more VMs or acquiring an HSM device to encrypt the vault.

Valuable Features

Anomali excels in threat intelligence with strong integrations, user-friendly features, and enhances efficiency in threat visibility and response.
Idira Identity provides advanced security features and integration, enhancing operational efficiency and compliance for user access management.
Regarding integration, Anomali has capabilities to integrate with different downstream applications such as Palo Alto, allowing us to create playbooks to block domains, URLs, or IPs directly within the firewall.
Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence Incident Response Engineer & Security Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Correlating IOCs with the telemetry data we are ingesting from our data sources allows us to pull monthly reports identifying how many assets and users interacted with malicious content, giving insight into whether communications failed or users accessed restricted content, providing complete visibility of the IOCs traveling throughout our environment.
Associate Consultant at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
It aggregates intelligence from hundreds of sources, automatically de-duplicates, applies risk scoring, applies context, and reduces much manual effort.
Global Leadership Council at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
It impacts zero trust security strategies. It prevents lateral movements in the organization.
Head of IT at Skutin Solutions
The two-factor authentication is very important, but the fact that every account is being regenerated every time we use it is the most important security feature for us.

It is the most powerful access management system.

TarunKumar11 - PeerSpot reviewer
Global Leadership Council at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
Strategic threat intelligence has improved detection speed and consistently reduces analyst workload
Anomali can be improved in various aspects. Its AI-driven automation can further advance, and AI-powered investigation summaries can improve. User experience could be enhanced through simplification of workflows. Better board-level cyber risk dashboards could provide easier visualization. Additionally, Anomali could work on simplifying the pricing structure. Although it excels in threat intelligence aggregation and operationalization, stronger GenAI capability, improved executive reporting, and a more intuitive workflow for analysts would further increase SOC efficiency and add more business value. Regarding Anomali's AI capabilities, governance and security are quite good. Anomali has incorporated AI and machine learning primarily to improve correlation and prioritization. These capabilities are valuable but could be more mature. The platform could achieve better threat correlation, prioritization, more anomaly detection, and allow AI to accelerate intelligence analysis while further improving quality and relevance. The accuracy and reliability of Anomali's AI output are fairly reasonable and good. The AI engine works well, but this capability could be improved. Better threat correlation with threat actors, certain indicators of compromise, malware, and campaigns is possible. Threat prioritization could increase, and alert noise could be reduced through further de-duplication. While reasonable, this is not the best available, and other products possibly have more AI maturity, such as Recorded Future and CrowdStrike Falcon.
Hariharan Thangasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
Has strengthened privileged access control and improved audit visibility through session monitoring and password rotation
On the identity product side, it is awesome. However, they can improve in the documentation parts. For example, if there is a migration process, I can see the maximum customers are moving from self-hosted to on-premises or from on-premises to the cloud. It would be helpful if they released a generalized document for processes such as migration. A clear overview document would assist us in understanding more about the tool, configurations, and automations to enhance our security. Regarding the initial setup of CyberArk Identity, I faced some challenges. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components. I could not find the proper documentation in the community portal.
