Pros
"The most valuable feature of Recorded Future is how it detects everything regarding our domain.""From the feedback I've received from my clients, the most valuable feature is the ability to personalize the solution. The ability to have a customized dashboard makes it easy for leadership and management to obtain details. Intelligence analysts or security engineers care about the actions and results, whereas the leadership care about graphs and reports. Recorded Future helps my clients create reports and also determine how the intelligence that is generated is consumed. They can easily show the benefits to the leadership without them having to invest 10 hours a week into transferring numbers into a graph or into creating reports.""The intel that they were providing us over the emails was very good. If it found any hashtag in our organization's name on the dark web, a rogue IP, or a marketplace, it would send us an email and notify us that this is being mentioned, and if we want, they can take some action.""As a threat intelligence tool, it's very helpful.""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 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 solution is diverse and provides me with a lot of different mechanisms for evaluation."

"The reporting services are great. With reporting services, if you have customers that just visit a URL you can see the result - including why it's blocked and how and how the URL was first recognized as malicious."

More ThreatQ Pros →

Cons
"We can get the data of different malware active throughout the globe, but it would be good if we can do sandboxing of a file. For example, on Any Run, we can perform sandboxing of malware along with their intel about a particular file or hash. It would be great if they have a feature like that.""There is a semantic oncology dynamic relationship between how the MIGR Tech framework needs more data infusion enrichment capabilities.""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.""The solution would benefit from introducing automation.""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.""It sometimes detects false positives and reduces the overall accuracy of the system.""Recorded Future is a very expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved.""Lacks sufficient visibility of malware and international APT attacks."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "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."

    Overview

    Recorded Future is a powerful and effective cyber threat intelligence (CTI) platform that aims to empower administrators to protect their organizations from threats, both known and unknown. The machine learning engine that Recorded Future utilizes can process the same amount of data that 9,000 analysts working five days a week, eight hours a day for an entire year can process. It simplifies threat detection and remediation so that organizations can focus on other tasks.

    Recorded Future Benefits

    Some of the ways that organizations can benefit by choosing to deploy Recorded Future include:

    • Quick threat identification and resolution. The suite of threat detection and resolution features that Recorded Future provides enables users to find and react to threats faster than users who employ their competitors. Organizations can identify 22 times more threats 10 times faster than they would have been able to with any other solution. They can also resolve these threats 63% faster than they were able to before.
    • Access far-reaching deep insights. Recorded Future gives users the ability to expand their vision beyond that which is immediately visible to them. They can set Recorded Future to detect issues that originate outside of the immediate vicinity of their network. Organizations can utilize machine learning to analyze for links between themselves and the dark web. This provides users insights as to what their vulnerabilities are and gives them insights that they can use to remediate any issues that have arisen or will arise.
    • Customization. Organizations can integrate Recorded Future with a wide variety of other security tools. If the organization feels that Recorded Future is lacking the capability that they need, then it can expand its toolbox by combining it with other solutions. Additionally, users can easily create dashboards and modify them to best meet their objectives as their needs change.

    Recorded Future Features

    Some of the many features Recorded Future offers include:

    • Vulnerability scanning tools. Recorded Future is built with the ability to scan for, identify, and score potential vulnerabilities in real time. It searches a wide variety of sources for information on the risks that an organization faces. This information is analyzed and scored for severity in real time. These tools enable users to prioritize the most severe threats over those issues that will only be nuisances.
    • Threat authentication. Users can set security protocols that Recorded Future leverages to reduce false positives. It has tools that compare the detected threats against the organization’s protocols. This allows the system to notify administrators whether they are looking at an actual threat or simply a mistake that the system initially misidentified.
    • Attack surface intelligence. Organizations gain the ability to see the points of vulnerability that would normally be invisible to them and would only be visible to outside attackers. This tool fully exposes the environment that surrounds their network. Everything from historical data going as far back as 10 years to real-time information is gathered so that administrators can create the best possible security strategy for their organization.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Recorded future is a solution that stands out when compared to its top competitors. Two major advantages it offers are the threat research tools that it provides and the threat monitoring capabilities that it enables users to leverage.

    A security operations lead at a comms service provider writes, “Recorded Future covers a lot of different use cases. For example, we are using it for threat intelligence research. We do use the tool to make active research on what is found around the threat. We look at patterns, for example, and see what can be elaborated on from that.”

    They also write, “We can also use it for active monitoring in the customer interface. We can monitor the business side of a campaign. We can monitor for specific threats or market activity on the dashboard. We can develop queries to run in a continuous mode in order to get the best reviews.”

    ThreatQ is a Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) designed to enable threat operations and management. ThreatQ is the only solution with an integrated Threat Library, Adaptive Workbench and Open Exchange that help you to act upon the most relevant threats facing your organization and to get more out of your existing security infrastructure.
