Easy to setup, highly stable and scalable and efficiently tracks threat actors and analyze their tactics
We use Group-IB Threat Intelligence to help us with threat hunting, incident response, and vulnerability management We have found the site intelligence features to be the most valuable. We are able to use these features to track threat actors and analyze their tactics, techniques, and procedures…
Viral Shaa - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Security Analyst at Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.
Intelligence-led security has transformed alert triage and now prioritizes energy sector threats
For the threat landscape, Recorded Future has a nice dashboard and reporting feature, though there is always an opportunity to improve how we visualize the high-severity sectors. It requires tuning to avoid alert fatigue, especially in high-threat environments like energy, where many threats seem relevant. Some advanced intelligence features require additional licensing, which can significantly increase costs. While Recorded Future provides strong IT-focused intelligence, OT and ICS-specific intelligence, which is improving, still requires supplemental sources for full coverage. New users or analysts newly onboarded to the team may need additional training to navigate the platform effectively. If we were to upgrade to a Tier 1 plan or an additional licensing plan, it should include advanced intelligence feeds that require licensing upgrades to unlock those features. Although Recorded Future is best in breed in the market, the company should consider lowering prices to be more accessible for mid-sized organizations where budgeting is a main concern.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable Group-IB Threat Intelligence features are their detections, especially in terms of account and card information leakage. This data sets Group-IB apart from some of the competition."
"The totality of the recordings is quite important. The networks, the new threat actors, the new methods, tactics, techniques, and procedures."
"Threat Intelligence's best feature is threat activation."
"The cost of the solution versus the cost of an incident that may have been prevented with it shows a very high ROI."
"We have found the site intelligence features to be the most valuable."
"Threat Intelligence is very stable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the sandbox."
"Has the ability to conduct and build any query without limitations."
"The most valuable features of Recorded Future are the useful alerts it provides. If we are monitoring a domain, the solution will provide us with an alert in a prompt manner. It is simple for clients to receive alerts. The advanced search is useful for more accurate filter results."
"Recorded Future has positively impacted our organization as we are able to cover a lot of sources with only this intelligence provider, not having to have specific tools for clear web or social media monitoring."
"Recorded Future has positively impacted my organization by allowing our analysts to work less on doing IOC enrichments."
"The features and capabilities of Recorded Future that I have found the most valuable are its AI-driven capabilities that make a significant impact."
"Recorded Future has some important strengths. It has a long history of success in the market and is known for excellent threat intelligence. Its team is skilled at using AI to search for and report on threats. For many years, it was seen as the best in the industry."
"The solution is diverse and provides me with a lot of different mechanisms for evaluation."
"After implementing Recorded Future, I can point out two positive impacts: first, the tool helps our SOC team save 30 to 40 percent of effort due to the reduction of manual threat detection and false positives, and second, the quality of our threat hunting has improved considerably, leading to a better understanding of the threat landscape."
 

Cons

"As the landscape evolves, they could provide a little more detail or specificity to map it to the MITRE ATT&CK framework."
"The web intelligence could be improved. It is not as good as the intelligence from other solutions."
"The lack of appliance-based or on-premise options for this solution is its biggest downfall. Clients request them often."
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence should improve integration for SIEM and SOAR solutions."
"Threat Intelligence's OT security could be improved."
"A possible improvement for Recorded Future would be better filtering options, particularly when dealing with large datasets."
"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."
"Some advanced intelligence features require additional licensing, which can significantly increase costs."
"The solution could improve in reducing the false positives. However, most of the other tools on the market have false positives. If they enhance their data algorithm, it could improve the accuracy of results and minimize false positives. Identifying patterns of false possibilities can aid in developing better reporting features that could potentially eliminate them in the future. This recording feature tool could benefit from adopting similar techniques utilized by other tools to enhance its functionality. By doing so, it could minimize the need for manual efforts in distinguishing true positives from false positives, ultimately reducing the workload."
"The customer support is frustrating and not efficient. They always request logs and screenshots that seem irrelevant."
"The tool can be pricey, especially for smaller companies."
"It sometimes detects false positives and reduces the overall accuracy of the system."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is alright. It's right on the mark."
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence's pricing is reasonable."
"Threat Intelligence is costly, but it gives value for money."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of the solution is worth it. The overall performance of the solution outweighs the cost."
"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 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."
