Recorded Future Intelligence Cloud vs. Trellix Threat Intelligence Exchange

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 use it to protect our workstations from outside the internet attacks and keep our data safe. It also restricts users not to visit malicious websites and block suspicious downloads to the system. But it does take a lot of memory and make the system slow. It is better to have an updated component PC for flawless usage. They can reduce the pricing of the product so even small-scale companies make use of this.

• 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.

• It is heavy on systems, If you have an outdated system then McAfee is not for them.
• It can consume lot of memory
• Scanning time might take longer then expected
• Pricing is bit high

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.

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.

We already have other McAfee products being used in our organization. Hence the partnership with McAfee has been made. The main reason is its easy to use, it keeps your data safe and priced effectively. What else we expect from a security software. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

• 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.

• We do not have ROI on this product
• It does provide network and file security for the entire organization.
