Easy and quick credential monitoring; tech support could be improved
Currently, we are not using any other solution for this use case, but previously we used MISP, which is an open-source project that requires a lot of effort to make work. That way, it required a lot of attention from our system administrator, and we had to sanitize the data very frequently because the peers we had. Sometimes they flooded our systems with chunk data and that needs to be handled and we decided to go with a paid solution instead.

Really scalable for enterprise customers
The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms. The API is nearly open and scalable, so the solution can integrate with many platforms. The solution has more than 200 log sources in the scalability to support, but this is its limit. Installation is pretty easy. However, there are a couple of modules involved, so it is not as easy as it could be. We are talking about a distributed module, not a single-module type. This is what makes things a bit complex, instead of easier. I rate it as a seven out of ten on its installation and configuration capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
 

Cons

"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"Security needs improvement."
"There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
