Muhammad Hassaan Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved threat visibility and simplified operations but needs better integration with other platforms
The only feature I would recommend for Fortinet FortiRecon is smoother integration with third-party SIEM and SOAR platforms. For instance, we use IBM QRadar and it would be ideal if FortiRecon’s threat intelligence findings could be pushed directly into QRadar rather than requiring manual exports or custom API setups Cross-platform integration should be made easier. While FortiRecon provides useful threat intelligence, getting this data into other SIEMs like IBM QRadar or open-source platforms like Wazuh often requires custom API work or manual steps. Fortinet tends to keep things within its own ecosystem, which makes third-party integration more challenging. On the positive side, FortiRecon has one of the easiest GUIs compared to other competitors, making it straightforward to navigate findings and alerts.

Efficiently identify and address online threats with timely alerts and thorough takedown capabilities
The most valuable features are its threat intel platform, which provides the latest trends and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that I can act on. I quickly obtain data, such as leaked email IDs and passwords, from the ZeroFOX portal or the threat intel portal when required. The platform's GUI-based features stand out and provide thorough takedown capabilities for domains, social media accounts, and phishing numbers.

What do you like most about ZeroFOX?
The best thing about the tool is that its backend team is pretty good and has a strong engineering team.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for ZeroFOX?
Based on my observations, ZeroFOX is moderately priced. It's neither highly expensive nor very cheap. The pricing depends on the licensed services, such as takedowns or dark data services, chosen.
What needs improvement with ZeroFOX?
ZeroFOX needs improvement in handling duplicate alerts. If an alert on a domain, such as abcd.com, has not been addressed or is still in progress, similar new alerts are not combined into a single ...
