    EclecticIQ
    ElecticIQ has an architecture where it usually needs decent computing power within the organisation. The central console along with the ELK servers and PostgreSQL sever needs their own space in a distributed setup. This could be a little too expensive for small-scale organisations. But for the organizations having mid to large-scale networks. EIQ is a decent solution to serve the purpose.

    UpGuard Vendor Risk is great when we need a quick view of a vendor’s external security posture, especially during fast-paced onboarding. It’s also very useful for continuous monitoring with visibility into changes at Vendor's side without repeatedly chasing vendors for updates. The only scenario it is not very helpful, is small vendors / start ups that dont have an external footprint, but in that case the questionnaire's can be used.

    Cons
    EclecticIQ
    • Misses on a global search bar which can directly gives out the result like VirusTotal.
    • The GUI could be more friendlier. Too many filters and graphs may overwhlem the user sometimes.
    • The ElasticSearch(searching for IOC in the in-house EIQ database) is a little slow compared to its counterparts.

    Alternatives Considered
    EclecticIQ
    The most important feature of EclecticIQ which gives it an edge compared to other TIPs is that it performs segregation of IOCs based on the relevance of it and the links that IOCs might have which other adversaries. The graphical format mapping where the user can easily figure out how the IOCs have connections to different binaries is another advantage. One can set the half-life time for an IOC which will reduce the confidence score as per one's need.

    We’ve evaluated other third-party security rating platforms, including those which focus heavily on questionnaires, self-assessments, and point-in-time reviews.
    UpGuard's usp is continuous monitoring and external risk visibility, automated questionnaires, which reduced our reliance on manual follow-ups. That said, most tools in this space still need to be complemented with internal reviews and contract-level risk assessments, depending on the vendor and use case.
