AS
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 ( /products/zerofox-reviews ) 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It integrates well with other solutions and provides good threat intelligence in terms of external threats."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"The feature that I like best is the dashboard."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration of Palo Alto products which serves as a platform for security."

"I rate ZeroFOX a ten overall."
"ZeroFOX has no language limitations. It can detect many languages."
 

Cons

"It is a completely cloud-based product at present."
"It would be helpful to have better documentation for configuring and installing the solution."
"It would be better if they used the threat intelligence feeds directly from their side and changing the verdict instead of us requesting it."
"I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring."
"I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate."
"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 incident."
"Social media takedowns are a major issue. The takedowns should not take more than two to three hours."
"ZeroFOX is not configured to grab the information automatically, including the news."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
