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.

Centralized threat insights have streamlined detection and automated phishing response
Based on my experience, ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) is already doing a great job in the market by decreasing threats from external sources. A few improvements I would suggest include integration enhancements, as users report that some integrations could be tighter or easier to configure. Additionally, plug and play connectors for popular security tools and threat feeds could streamline operations. There could also be easier event generation and sharing, as some reviewers mentioned that generating and sharing events or intelligence with internal teams or external partners is not as smooth as it could be. Improved pricing or tiered options could make it more accessible, especially for smaller organizations that do not require all enterprise features. Some users find the interface complex, particularly for everyday tasks such as filtering, tagging, or navigating playbooks. A more intuitive UI that aligns with typical analyst workflows would reduce the learning curve and boost productivity. To improve my rating closer to ten, the user interface can be simplified, as it is complex. Enhancing user experience and providing richer enrichment sources would further increase its value. Addressing these areas would make the platform more intuitive, comprehensive, and easier to adopt across all teams.

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."
"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."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has a significant positive impact on our organization by improving our ability to detect, prioritize, and respond to threats quickly through centralized and enriched threat intelligence."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted our organization by significantly reducing response times and improving detection accuracy by ensuring only high-confidence, context-rich indicators are pushed to security controls."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
"I like their customer support."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence."
"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."
"This solution can identify many threats inside the organization (compromised endpoints, configuration issues), as well as "outside" threats (botnets, network scanners, web-attacks, etc)."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"AlienVault's reporting is good. I like that vulnerability assessment is part of the solution, and the UI is intuitive. Also, the overhead is low, which is to say we don't need a dedicated SOC team to manage and analyze things constantly. We're a small company that doesn't have those resources."
"The best feature of this product is the ease of use. It is extremely easy to set up and get going. This is a very useful tool for a small organization."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is good for ELK Stack, the user experience is great because of its architecture. The ELK has a great performance and it has very good speed in the search and Kibana. Additionally, the visuals and dashboards and very nice and customizable."
"We are able to get alerts perfectly with FIM and VA features."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
"Some users find the interface complex, particularly for everyday tasks such as filtering, tagging, or navigating playbooks."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be better in terms of cost, as the basic needs of the software are emphasized."
"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."
"The only room for improvement I can mention is the initial installation procedures. I found that the online installation instructions for the product were missing important details, they lacked necessary steps."
"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
"I've been using it just for my own personal upskilling in terms of how the product works. At the moment, it is pretty straightforward and simple, and it is working how it is supposed to. The feedback would come once it is deployed to customer sites. They'll be using it on a more frequent basis, and that's when the feedback would come in terms of the areas in which they're facing issues or are looking for simplicity."
"Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
"The price of AT&T AlienVault USM could be reduced."
 

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."

"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
"The tool is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."
"It's saved security costs."
"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."
"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
"It is affordable, and it also has many features that the premium products such as ArcSight and QRadar have. It is a very good platform for a SIEM solution. Everything is included in the price."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
