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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Anomali positively impacts our organization, notably improving our vulnerability management program under reducing attack surface management."
"Anomali has positively impacted my organization because earlier we were not using any TIP format and were just dependent on open source, which gave us tons of irrelevant alerts, but with Anomali, we now get very specific and targeted alerts, allowing us to navigate through a handful of alerts that are applicable to us and saving a ton of working hours."
"We now have a very robust collection of threat intelligence based on the capabilities that Anomali provides."
"I think it's one of the awesome tools I've worked with to date."
"I have seen a return on investment with Anomali, as it improves analyst investigation time, enhances threat visibility, and supports fast incident responses."
"Anomali has positively impacted my organization and my clients by helping them improve threat visibility, accelerate incident response, and make better use of their resources."
"The most valuable aspect of Anomali is the threat modeling capability."
"Anomali has impacted my organization positively because our SOC team, which is actively monitoring all the tools—either SIM, SOAR, or threat intelligence platform—operates in multiple shifts."
"IP tracing is the most valuable feature."
 

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."
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"Anomali can be improved, specifically the Security Analytics feature, because I feel there is a slight lag in that."
"My experience with Anomali's customer support has not gone so well for us."
"Pricing and licensing are good, but the costs for purchasing threat feeds are somewhat complicated and a bit on the higher side."
"While reasonable, this is not the best available, and other products possibly have more AI maturity, such as Recorded Future and CrowdStrike Falcon."
"I believe Anomali could be improved by making the user interface more user-friendly."
"One more improvement I would mention is regarding compromised credential monitoring. Anomali should increase their capability to fetch details from various dark web solutions where threat actors post compromised credentials."
"The technical support needs improvement."
 

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 solution is overly priced."
