Nice to have - good coverage of thousands of sources

IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Recorded Future is being used in a daily basis for research purposes. The tool is indexing a lot of different feeds and information that is published on the Internet in real-time. It is allowing us to search across thousand of sources at the same time and saving us a lot of time when researching about a certain topic. It is also possible to configure alerts, so as soon as a certain query is having any match, you receive an alert (email notification, push notification, slack message...).
Pros
- Searching across multiple sources at the same time
- Indexing information in real time
- Dashboards, statistics and heatmaps about a certain topic
Cons
- The learning curve for using the platform is high. It is not easy to use, and you have to invest time in order to know how to search appropriately.
- Depending on your subscription and role, there are some information that is not available. Sometimes the information can be a little bit limited unless you have all the modules included in your subscription
- API capabilities are improving but there are still some features that are missing and some errors that are hard to handle / understand
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
