Anomali ThreatStream vs. Egnyte

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.

Egynte is best suited for companies that SharePoint is not the best fit for. This includes managers unfamiliar with SharePoint specifically, and those really looking for a replacement for a file server in the more traditional Windows sense. SharePoint has more or less done away with any management that resembles Active Directory or File Explorer. Egnyte's web portal is incredibly straightforward. I would say Egnyte is less suited for companies that have licensing access to SharePoint already and do not have a ton of files or granular sharing and security needs

• Signatures

• Sharing files externally with passwords, link expiration and granular control of permissions
• File syncing across end-user devices using a client installed onto the computer for seamless integration for end-users as if they had mapped a drive directly to their machine
• Implements 2FA for secure access

• 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.

• The main drawback of the system that it is lacking in managing the uploading of large or huge files, even though the large files can be easily downloadable but the upload takes a lot of time.
• While uploading the system sometimes starts lagging and the file after sometimes needs to upload again.
• Egnyte is lacking in syncing multiple platforms at the same time. It gives access to one platform at a time which somehow hinders the work while migrating a large amount of data.

We found that usage of Egnyte in our supported clients, with sufficient bandwidth, provided all the features and stability we required. The billing setup was fair and the support provided was ample for end users and well as our in house admins. There was a concern about high usage clients but this was taken into account during the vetting process.

Really easy to use the interface. The web browser is very intuitive and I have not had any notable issues with this. It's easy to work on documents as a team, and the only issues we have to tend to come with Apple apps and downloading large files to WebEdit. It's very similar to the filing systems that come on Apple and Windows devices so not a steep learning curve.

Egnyte works very well across all platforms and as an add-on to other programs. Load time is close to nothing. Reports can be made in no time as well. All in all no performance issues. We can see that it depends on the local network connection. If you're running with fiber there won't be any issues.

I never had to reach out to customer support for Egnyte. I don't know any coworkers who have had to reach out to Egnyte for support either. As far as I am concerned, the support team is doing a good job since I have not had to reach out to them.

Many of the products that can be used to be ingested into a security event management software can be cumbersome with threat streamThere are many opportunities to continue fine-tuning the environment and providing great context in regards to threat research. When compared to other products threat stream stands out from usability and features.

At the time when this was implemented (over 5 years ago and still in production), there were issues with syncing and reliability that Egnyte did not have, and have continued to impress with. Other providers have improved a lot and Egnyte is fairly costly, but switching costs would be high to move away from it to similar solutions.

• We have seen a positive ROI as the security monitoring is taken to the next level when it is augmented with threat intel data that Anomali provides.
• Our customers are very satisfied with the periodic threat reports that we send, which are created using Anomali ThreatStream.
• The overall business objectives are met as Threat Intel is one of the most important pillars when it comes to providing security services, and we use Anomali ThreatStream extensively for that.

Incentivized

• Allows us to easily communicate important data securely with other offices (not just sending via email)
• It allows everyone in our office to be working on the same information at the same time
• It meshes so well with salesforce that I can't really picture what our practice would look like if we didn't have the combination.
