Anomali
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.

IBM X-Force is well suited for organizations with medium to large SOC's and run IBM Qradar as their SIEM.

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.

  • Pruning of IOC to reduce false positives.
  • Add more flexibility to integration on SIEMs to allow users to compare UserAgents, Compromised users/domains like HIBP.
  • Only watch vulnerabilities for selected vendors.
