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.

Room For Improvement

Trellix Helix Connect requires improvements in design, integration, performance, cost-efficiency, user training, and enhanced reporting features.
Combining all aliases into a coherent solution would be beneficial, as we had to review each individual source ourselves.

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

Setup Cost

Anomali offers medium to high pricing with flexible licensing, enterprise contracts, and trusted leadership influencing continued usage.
Trellix Helix Connect's pricing is seen as competitive, yet expensive for small businesses, with minor additional costs and discounts.
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
We mainly chose this solution because of the pricing factor alone; many other options were more lucrative feature-wise, but for pricing, it was quite competitive at the time.
Associate Cybersecurity Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
It is not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive solution.
Senior Value Engineering at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
We do not face much performance issues; for pricing, it was close to other competitors.

Valuable Features

Anomali excels in threat intelligence with strong integrations, user-friendly features, and enhances efficiency in threat visibility and response.
Trellix Helix Connect enhances security with automation, integration, AI, and centralized visibility for improved incident response and data analysis.
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.

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.

Centralized threat triage has improved endpoint control but still needs better cloud insights
Trellix Helix Connect can definitely be improved, especially regarding cloud and SaaS telemetry gaps. It could enhance its native cloud and SaaS telemetry integration. Additionally, sometimes when we open the details of a file, it lacks meta fields altogether, and we must manually ask the user for the meta fields, such as when the file was created, last opened, last updated, and its hash value. Helix does not perform as expected in this regard. There are also many false positives flagged that should not be, and there is no on-premises option for FireEye Helix. Lastly, the GUI and dashboard feel very old-school and legacy, needing improvement, as all competitors have far superior GUIs and UI/UX interfaces. I would add that we have experienced specific problems with session timeouts where we randomly log out from the system after some time and face issues in logging back in. This required us to contact customer service frequently, which is also not very reliable or prompt.
