Broad protection, good stability, fast support, and reasonable pricing
It is in the early stage of innovation, but it has been developing constantly and rapidly. The room for improvements for this kind of solution is basically in terms of mapping between multiple resources. For example, if a fraudster or scammer is using Instagram to track potential customers of an organization, he might also use fraudulent resources of a website, mobile application, or instant messenger as a part of an elaborate scheme. Group-IB is working on mapping such related fraud resources so that they can see the whole pattern and then track the fraudster or scammer conducting the scheme. They could also improve the Risk Scoring Engine. Whenever any resource comes up in the monitoring section, there is an engine to score whether it is a high risk, low risk, or no risk, or whether it is legal for the customer. This part could be improved because different channels require different mechanisms for scoring the risk. On the website, it can score a risk easily, but for social media and instant messenger, some things need to be adjusted. It is not similar to monitoring a website.

Continuous threat intelligence has improved brand monitoring and protects against leaked credentials
Some of the areas that need improvement in Recorded Future include email reports that can show unrelated content. Sometimes alerts pop up for articles that have been published years ago but were just recently discovered by Recorded Future. For the browser extension, since the main purpose is to present information regarding IPs, I think it would be best to provide us with an idea of where the IP originates or some additional information about the organization it belongs to. API capabilities in Recorded Future are improving, but there are still some features that are missing and some errors that are hard to handle and understand. The price of Recorded Future is a bit high, especially for smaller teams working on a tight budget, but it is very effective and relatively competitive for large organizations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides the broadest protection covering websites, marketplace, advertising, and social media, which includes Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. They also offer mobile application monitoring and enforcement not only in the Google Play store but also in the Apple store. They can monitor and enforce the distribution of mobile applications, any kind of app website such as Android apk.com, and a lot of other custom stuff. To be able to customize and specify the platforms that need to be monitored and enforced is something that our clients find most valuable."
"It provides the broadest protection covering websites, marketplace, advertising, social media, which includes Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, and even instant messenger, darkweb, pastebin and Github."
"Recorded Future has positively impacted my organization by allowing our analysts to work less on doing IOC enrichments."
"The tool is helpful in vulnerability assessment of zero-day vulnerabilities and phishing domains. The solution provides information on any domains of the organization that has undergone phishing or any other cyberattacks."
"The tool can integrate with a lot of security control and proactive protection devices."
"The most valuable feature of Recorded Future is how it detects everything regarding our domain."
"After implementing Recorded Future, I can point out two positive impacts: first, the tool helps our SOC team save 30 to 40 percent of effort due to the reduction of manual threat detection and false positives, and second, the quality of our threat hunting has improved considerably, leading to a better understanding of the threat landscape."
"The solution is diverse and provides me with a lot of different mechanisms for evaluation."
"The most valuable features of Recorded Future are the useful alerts it provides. If we are monitoring a domain, the solution will provide us with an alert in a prompt manner. It is simple for clients to receive alerts. The advanced search is useful for more accurate filter results."
"Recorded Future has positively impacted our organization as we are able to cover a lot of sources with only this intelligence provider, not having to have specific tools for clear web or social media monitoring."
 

Cons

"They could also improve the Risk Scoring Engine. Whenever any resource comes up in the monitoring section, there is an engine to score whether it is a high risk, low risk, or no risk, or whether it is legal for the customer."
"It is in the early stage of innovation, but it has been developing constantly in a major fashion. The room for improvements for this kind of solution is basically in terms of mapping between multiple resources.

"It sometimes detects false positives and reduces the overall accuracy of the system."
"While I don't think the tool is weak, its position isn't as dominant as it once was. Other companies like CrowdStrike and Mandiant are now challenging them in many areas. One downside is that Recorded Future can be complex for customers to use and understand. This isn't easy for clients to navigate."
"The solution would benefit from introducing automation."
"The price of Recorded Future is a bit high, especially for smaller teams working on a tight budget, but it is very effective and relatively competitive for large organizations."
"The customer support is frustrating and not efficient. They always request logs and screenshots that seem irrelevant."
"There is a semantic oncology dynamic relationship between how the MIGR Tech framework needs more data infusion enrichment capabilities."
"The tool can be pricey, especially for smaller companies."
"The tool should improve its third-party supply chain risks because there is a lack of visibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"At the moment, its pricing is very reasonable for the whole work that Group-IB is doing for the banks. We can easily calculate the return on investment based on that pricing because the number of resources that need to be taken down would reach up to thousands within months. Its pricing is very reasonable for this kind of work. There is no hidden fee. It is subscription-based. There are different packages that are based on a limited or unlimited number of takedowns. It is very simple with no hidden fees."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"The biggest disadvantage of Recorded Future is the cost here in Eastern Europe. The solution is correctly priced for big companies who have the money to invest in such solutions. Also, the solution is useless on its own, which means that you have to invest in other solutions with which Recorded Future can be integrated. At present, Recorded Future can cost 60,000 euros per year. I am able to offer my clients a 5% to 10% discount, but in this region, the cost is still prohibitive even with the discount. If Recorded Future were more flexible in terms of price, there would be better sales opportunities in Europe and Eastern Europe, in particular, because we have more small- and medium-sized companies here."
"The price of the solution is worth it. The overall performance of the solution outweighs the cost."
"There appear to be up to five different levels, with the most expensive version costing around $95,000 to $105,000 a year for subscription services."
