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.

Protects against threats and helps with ransomeware but needs optimization for lower resource usage
We are using ESET products for our clients, especially for entry-level protection tools. The demand for these tools is primarily coming from our clients, and we sometimes propose them to our clients as well We install the product in a standard way as a product. The primary purpose is to protect…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect of Anomali is the threat modeling capability."
"We now have a very robust collection of threat intelligence based on the capabilities that Anomali provides."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and maintain while also being fully encrypted."
"The solution's features and pricing are pretty good."
"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."
"The overall security capability of the product is pretty reliable."
"The pricing, if compared to other products, is cheap."
"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
 

Cons

"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."
"On the solution's website, it is sometimes difficult to figure out how to download the exact product associated with your purchased license."
"There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."
"It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release."
"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
"We have experienced some problems with the actualization of some endpoints. We then have to manually reinstall the version on these endpoints."
"ESET's updates are mostly manual. That's my biggest concern. I'd like it to be more automatic. I've had to download the new version and run it manually to install it. I've got several workstations like that right now."
"A few times, we have had problems with downloading an agent. We had to try multiple times and multiple uploads."
 

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."
"I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten. It is neither cheap nor expensive for our clients."
"It is not expensive; the pricing model is fine."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and there is an annual subscription. The price is inexpensive."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and the price depends on the features you want to use. The overall price is reasonable."
"The pricing can be a bit more flexible."
"You need to pay for the ESET Endpoint Antivirus license monthly or yearly, whichever you choose."
