ROI

Sentiment score
6.4
Recorded Future offers varied ROI; efficiency gains are offset by complex modules, though dark web monitoring is highly valued.
Sentiment score
6.5
Tines automation reduced analyst needs by 30%, enhancing response time and productivity, with a 20% improved efficiency.
We have seen a return on investment as we have been able to identify leaked credentials and close those accounts off easily, thereby improving our security.
Account Manager at Chevron
I have seen a return on investment as I explained earlier, it reduces the investigation time from days to minutes, and that is the biggest ROI;
Security Consultant at Silver Bullet IS Consulting
A metric indicating a 30 to 40 percent reduction in time and effort from the SOC team, which reflects our return on investment.
Security Consultant at Deloitte
I can speak for fewer employees needed because we used to require many analysts to deal with all the alerts that we were generating, but now we have about 90 to 95% of the alerts already automated through Tines, which requires tremendous time saved and a ton of reduction in the number of analysts required.
Cyber Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
In some domains, we were in a position to actually let go of people, meaning at least two people have been reduced from one team, which saves a lot of cost for the organization.
Head of Cyber Defense Center
We did not see proper value in it, whereas other platforms would have given much higher value for us.

Room For Improvement

Recorded Future users seek better affordability, simplified licensing, improved integration, and enhanced functionalities to address existing complexity and limitations.
Tines faces UI challenges, insufficient documentation, and compliance issues, requiring enhanced customization, onboarding, and expansion beyond security applications.
The Insikt Group covers a narrow range of areas, which doesn't reflect my needs.
Head Of Cyber Threat Intelligence at Discount Bank
A possible improvement for Recorded Future would be better filtering options, particularly when dealing with large datasets.
Security Consultant at Deloitte
It requires tuning to avoid alert fatigue, especially in high-threat environments like energy, where many threats seem relevant.
IT Security Analyst at Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.
Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis.
Security Delivery Manager at Accenture
The issue with the Implode action is that once we get a certain number of events into the Implode action, we lose context of all the events except the last one that came in, so it is a bit difficult to send data back once it goes through the Implode action.
Cyber Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
I think they need to add more intelligence to the workflow layer because, depending upon what they have right now, it could be possible for Claude or Copilot or ChatGPT to have that feature quickly.

Tines is praised for cost-effective integration, ease of use, helpful support, dedicated account managers, and favorable licensing.

Automation Engineer at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is very good.
Head of Cyber Defense Center
I did not handle the purchasing side, so I did not actually know the exact pricing or the licensing details.

Featured Reviews

Derek  Lewis - PeerSpot reviewer
Account Manager at Chevron
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.
Shadrach Godwish Chukwu - PeerSpot reviewer
SDR and Workflow Automation Specialist at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Automation has replaced repetitive tasks and helps my team organize workflows in real time
Tines is overall good, but the setup can feel a bit technical at first. More templates for common workflows would make it much easier to start quickly without building everything from scratch. I can say that the documentation could be much simpler and mainly example-based, showing real workflows. Faster support responses would also help, especially when someone is building a very complex workflow so they can easily get support responses at any point. The setup time is considerable. It takes time to set it up, and the learning curve is steep. It is not hard once you know it, but getting started takes a whole lot of time and effort and slows new users down considerably. I will heavily dwell on a few things. More ready-made templates would help so you do not always start from scratch. A simpler onboarding flow for new users would also make it much easier to get started very quickly. Better in-app guidance when building workflows would also be helpful.
