    Chose Google Threat Intelligence (Mandiant)
    Mandiant provides timely expert analysis for each vulnerability in the vulnerability intelligence feed. Most other solutions are just aggregators of vulnerability data that they synthesize into a feed but don't provide their own expert analysis.

    Chose Google Threat Intelligence (Mandiant)
    If you want threat intel coming into your EDR, Email gateway, and IPS, this is the most cost-effective solution. The others can only pump into your SIEM and rely on monitoring and detection. The former goes into active defense, aka active blocking.

    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 …

    Usually SOC leverages Intel from mutiple sources. The scenarios are: 1.Suitable: In large scale SOC where more than 5000 devices are being monitored and the tech stack is wide, Mandiant will play an excellent role in that scenario. 2.Not Suitable: In small scale SOCs wherein limited devices belonging to the same tech stack is being used then the analysts can rely on OSINT and it is not useful to buy the solution.

    Recorded Future
    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.

    Recorded Future
    • 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.

    Mandiant Advantage Threat Intelligence has a very usable platform, with well-differentiated sections for the analyst, as well as the possibility of cross-searching to obtain the desired results. All this is presented with an interface that is easy on the eye and not very messy, which increases productivity and the speed with which work is done.

    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.
