    Anomali ThreatStream is excellent in scenarios where we deliver Managed Security Services to customers. It offers exhaustive volumes of information in the form of threat bulletins, IOCs, Threat Actor profiling, and details related to campaigns in the wild which can be used to a great extent by MSSPs. For an enterprise SOC, I believe it is a little less suited purely because of the pricing aspect as it is slightly towards the expensive side of the spectrum.

    Licensing is incredibly easy to renew - and to adjust based on usage. The interface of cloud-based management is fantastic and easy to navigate as well. Syncs up with Active Directory to get users/security groups and such for easily differentiating policies to various users. Being able to pinpoint exactly where a threat infiltrated a system (what it talked to once it did so) is a massive feature in responding to online threats. Depending on deployment size - the cost could be an issue for some smaller organizations.

    Cons
    Anomali
    • The user interface, perhaps there is some room for improvement although it is good already.
    • Confidence assigning process for IOCs needs to be more robust and transparent.
    • While integration with SIEM solutions is a cakewalk, there is definitely added value if SIGMA rule conversion and YARA rule creation are provided from the platform.

    Support is generally great, however, they can be a bit more flexible and faster to respond. Considering I have purchased a few hundred licenses, I think my support desk deserves to be at least able to schedule calls with the support, which is not always the case. Apart from that, they are always helpful, knowledgeable and have, so far, resolved any and all issues that we have been needing help with.
