Has alerted us to compromised employee passwords and improved customer protection
It would be beneficial if they could improve ID Agent because sometimes it indicates certain files were leaked, such as social insurance numbers; I would love to be able to pull out evidence of the files that were taken or seen. At one point, ID Agent was bundled with phishing and training, and then they switched it out, making it harder to sell Dark Web services. I wish they would have kept the bundle.

Integrating intelligence within systems refines threat detection and provides enriched data insights
The integration of Recorded Future with my SIEM, specifically Splunk SIEM, has been extremely valuable. Having a layer of intelligence within my SIEM that reflects in Recorded Future, and being able to enrich the data at my SIEM, offers various angles that I wouldn't be able to see without it. Recorded Future allows me to maintain very accurate alerts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dark Web ID has alerted us whenever our passwords have leaked onto the dark web so we can actually go out and change them."
"The most valuable feature of Recorded Future is how it detects everything regarding our domain."
"As a threat intelligence tool, it's very helpful."
"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."
"Recorded Future allows me to maintain very accurate alerts."
"The most valuable feature is Recorded Future's protection of exposed customer data on the hardware side."
"It can collect data from various sources, including social media and the dark web."
"The tool can integrate with a lot of security control and proactive protection devices."
"The solution is diverse and provides me with a lot of different mechanisms for evaluation."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if they could improve ID Agent because sometimes it indicates certain files were leaked, such as social insurance numbers; I would love to be able to pull out evidence of the files that were taken or seen."
"The tool should improve its third-party supply chain risks because there is a lack of visibility."
"Recorded Future is a very expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"When you add one website to Recorded Future, it should automatically call all other websites and social media platforms."
"It sometimes detects false positives and reduces the overall accuracy of the system."
"The product gives many false positives. If someone talks about the brand or organization name in the public domain over chats or blocks, it gets highlighted. It may not necessarily be a threat but still gets highlighted which increases the false positive count."
"The solution would benefit from introducing automation."
"At present, my clients need to be trained by me or another organization on how to use Recorded Future and how to get the best out of it as an analyst, engineer, and administrator. It would be better if clients could directly learn these things without having to go through me or other organizations."
"Lacks sufficient visibility of malware and international APT attacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is worth it. The overall performance of the solution outweighs the cost."
"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."
"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."
