Digital Shadows vs. IntSights Cyber Intelligence, from Rapid7 vs. Recorded Future Intelligence Cloud

DS is fantastic for big and large-medium companies, it has many very featured functions and works very well. It's a little bit expensive for small and little-medium companies.

It has been a brilliant tool and we have harnessed it for so many applications - Threat intelligence, Risk Analysis, Automation, Endpoint protection, Vulnerability Management, Application Security, Protecting all our Cloud Applications. We love the fact that we only have to see those threats that are meaningful to us.
We don't need clutter and endless dashboards with information that just gets in the way and makes things complicated. By having this full, crisp, easily discernible visibility, our decision-making is enhanced and we can see clearly what's happening in real time. We also love the fact that if a dashboard isn't proving to be productive, then we can go ahead and scrap it, and create another one. The tailor made/bespoke aspect of the Application is the thing that really sets it
apart. By having all our dashboards aligned, our teams are all working from the same page and it means we are safe in the knowledge that our systems and applications are being monitored in the most effective and efficient ways.
There haven't been any real scenarios where it has been ineffective. - perhaps just In-depth Risk Vulnerability Analytics
are a bit lacking. However, I'm probably just picking hairs there.

If you want a platform that is covering thousands of sources, and that includes deep, dark web, clear web forums, blogs, newspapers, social media networks, etc. Recorded Future is the most complete solution that I have seen. On the other hand, if you are looking for a really advanced platform with lot of human added value, research papers, advanced investigations, etc. Recorded Future might not be the ideal solution.

• We found company emails used for personal uses.
• We found internal documents in deep web.
• We found news and information about the company managers on social media not delivered by the company.

• Gives latest threat reports regarding an artifact (IP, domain or hash).
• Browser extension provides a real-time information about an artifact.
• Accurate in identifying malicious domains and IPs.

• I'd like to have still more features for searching on social media.
• I'd like to have a better interface for configuration.
• It's expensive for middle and small companies, I'd like to have a reduced-features version for them.

Incentivized

• E-Mail reports can show unrelated content, especially sometimes you'll see alerts popping up for articles which have been published years ago but for some reason were just recently discovered by RF.
• Yara rules from their insikt blog sometimes are not syntactically correct and need to be manually edited to actually work. There's some proper QA missing.
• Their global and 3rd party risk reports could be more tailored towards the industries of their client. There is entries for totally unrelated security incidents. Of course a global list aims to find incidents on a global view, but it doesn't add much value at that point.

Solved the problems of my customers and permitted to clearly demonstrate these problems to management.

It's very easy to use, also non-technical users can understand the information to use for search and results, initial configuration is less easy to configure but just a little.

Incentivized

They are very available and competent, in addition, they used people with a good knowledge of the Italian language that helped very much, especially with the first customer.

I've had an issue with their browser-plugin which didn't want to authenticate correctly. RF's support could arrange for a session with me and identify and solve the issue. I was very pleased how serious they took my problems and also how knowledgeable they are.

If I have more general questions they quickly reply and most likely also have a solution at hand.

Incentivized

As I said: ease of use, scanningg of deep web and social media, results easy to understand and use.

Incentivized

The other product didn't have searches on Social Media.

IntSights Cyber Intelligence, from Rapid7 was by far the clear winner, in terms of seamless integration with our exisitng systems, deployment, cleaner User Interface, ease of operation, better for monitoring Indicators of compromise and dark web information, having more features etc.

Incentivized

It is the most complete solution of these three, as the others are focused in specific areas and having really detailed analysis about threat actors, APT groups, etc. Recorded Future is not having this level of knowledge in really specific areas but doing a really good work covering thousands of sources and the most relevant forums.

Incentivized

• DS gave more visibility on the company cyber exposure.
• Results of DS searches helped to solve security holes in people's behaviour.
• Company management reached more awareness about company cyber exposure.

Incentivized

• Recorded Future crashes my web browser in cases I have to open a web page containing hundreds of IPs. A quick disable feature for a particular tab would be beneficial for someone like me.
