Anomali ThreatStream vs. ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Operations Platform

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.
