Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool's most valuable feature is the sandbox.""Threat Intelligence's best feature is threat activation.""We have found the site intelligence features to be the most valuable.""The most valuable Group-IB Threat Intelligence features are their detections, especially in terms of account and card information leakage. This data sets Group-IB apart from some of the competition."

"On any given day I could give you a different answer regarding the most valuable features of the product. The feature that is most important is the fact that it has a lot of features, that it's not just a log collection and correlation system, that it has a lot of other components built in. The bundle of features is really the killer feature.""It allows you to define what alerts you want to see, or not to see, as well as if you want them grouped, or ungrouped.""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.""Asset discovery seems to be good.""Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins.""The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly.""The vulnerability manager and the file integration are very good.""I can easily check (in one place) all the logs and data in relation to attacks. It also gives me an overview if a server is not configured properly."

Cons
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence should improve integration for SIEM and SOAR solutions.""The web intelligence could be improved. It is not as good as the intelligence from other solutions.""Threat Intelligence's OT security could be improved.""The lack of appliance-based or on-premise options for this solution is its biggest downfall. Clients request them often."

"The vulnerability scanning feature is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. The tool has vulnerability scanning, but it is not that efficient.""One area that has room for improvement is storage. AllienVault is a good place to put logs, but sometimes it's a tough place to go get logs... The logger can only hold so much data. If they improved that, that would help.""The one thing I continue to dislike about the USM is the limitation on reports.""AlienVault cannot automatically respond to threats like other SIEM solutions, such as Sentinel and LogRhythm. Most of our clients are far away, so it's often challenging to handle alerts when they come up on our dashboard.""In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly.""I've been told that AlienVault doesn't have a full version of NES running in there, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if my engineer made it that way. I'm not sure he was completely honest either because we had NES in the environment before. Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features.""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.""We've had some stability problems, not a lot, but a few. Updates seem to be the worst. That seems to be when the stability problems come up."

  • "AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
  • "Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
  • "QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM products out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative."

    Overview

    Group-IB Threat Intelligence is an extremely potent threat intelligence platform that is trusted by everyone from law enforcement organizations like Interpol to the threat analysts that rely on it. It helps users gain a deep understanding of the threat landscape that they face. Organizations that choose to use Threat Intelligence gain insights into how threat actors think so that they can counter them as effectively as possible.

    Group-IB Threat Intelligence Benefits

    Some of the ways that organizations can benefit by choosing to deploy Threat Hunting Framework include:

    • Increase efficiency. One of the things that Group-IB kept in mind when they designed Threat Intelligence was that organizations are always looking for ways to improve their digital security. Threat Intelligence does just that by increasing the efficiency of the security operations of businesses that deploy it. Users can automate parts of their security workflows. They can remove potential human error from the equation and at the same time allow resources to be assigned to areas where they are most needed. It can also reduce the number of false alarms that users have to worry about. This enables organizations to focus on events that actually threaten them instead of those that were incorrectly flagged.
    • Adaptability. Threat Intelligence enables users to adapt their security operations so that they can confront any security-based challenge. They can connect and integrate with many of the more popular security solutions to bolster their capabilities if their security needs change. Users are given the flexibility to add other solutions to their security architecture if the situation makes it necessary to do so. They can also use industry-specific intelligence to adjust their security protocols as the industry landscape changes. They can block harmful and malicious activity as soon as their system becomes aware of the issue.
    • Threat tracking. Users of Threat Intelligence are able to track threats across their specific industries or others that interest them. Bad actors who target particular types of businesses can be watched closely by those who would be most harmed by them. This keeps organizations aware of the nature of the threats that threaten them and their partners.

    Group-IB Threat Intelligence Features

    Some of the many features that Group-IB Threat Intelligence offers include:

    • Centralized customizable threat management dashboard. Threat Intelligence offers users the ability to create a centralized threat-tracking dashboard. From this single location, organizations can keep an eye on hackers and other threats. All of the data that could prove relevant to dealing with attacks can be accessed without any hassle.
    • Network traffic analysis. Organizations can leverage a tool that enables them to scan network traffic for threats that might otherwise go unnoticed. They can set it to look for particular patterns, sequences, or commands that might indicate the presence of malware.
    • Graph feature. Threat Intelligence makes it possible for users to upload information relating to various threat actors onto a graph. This represents the relationship between these actors in a visual way that can be easy for decision-makers to understand.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Group-IB Threat Intelligence is a solution that stands out even when compared to many of its competitors. Two major advantages it offers are its ability to provide users with automated threat-hunting capabilities and its events and intelligence correlation feature.

    John R., the chief technology officer at Systema Global Solusindo, writes, “The solution allows clients to conduct Automated Threat Hunting which closes the gap between cybersecurity skills in the market and the high requirements of knowledge required to do such analysis.”

    He also says, “The most valuable feature is the automatic correlation of all internal cyber activities with their cyber threat intelligence. Threat Hunting Framework provides real-time correlation on all the cyber events and checks against the Group-IB Threat Intelligence database.”

    USM Anywhere centralizes security monitoring of networks and devices in the cloud, on premises, and in remote locations, helping you to detect threats virtually anywhere.
