E-Mail Reports: Some users have mentioned that the E-Mail reports occasionally display unrelated content, with alerts popping up for articles that were published years ago but recently discovered by RF. 

Yara Rules Quality: Reviewers have noted that Yara rules from RF's insikt blog are sometimes not syntactically correct, requiring manual editing to work properly. This indicates a lack of proper quality assurance.

Global and Third-Party Risk Reports: Several customers have expressed the opinion that the global and third-party risk reports could be more tailored towards the industries of RF's clients. They feel that there are entries for totally unrelated security incidents, which don't add much value at this point.

Threat Intelligence Platforms

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...).

Searching across multiple sources at the same time
Indexing information in real time
Dashboards, statistics and heatmaps about a certain topic

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

We are able to cover a lot of sources only with this intelligence provider, not having to have specific tools for clear web / social media monitoring
As the Recorded Future staff is doing the under demand integration of new sources, we are saving a couple of positions as we do not have to develop our own crawlers
It is possible to integrate the solution with tools such as Splunk, which is really useful in order to obtain KPIs, metrics and other useful insights for the executive members of the company

Recorded Future is being utilized by SOC analysts as a threat intel. Since our company offers SOC services among our clients, Recorded Future has been advantageous to us in processing artifacts and identifying possible threats in a short period of time.

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.

For the Browser extension, since the main purpose is to present information with regards to the IP, I think it's best to give us an idea of where the IP originated/some additional information about the organization it belongs to.

Web page display of the IP/domain reputation
Queries for pwned domains of our clients

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 mainly use RF for our brand-monitoring, to maintain our reputation and for monitoring partner companies. They offer scanning of a wide range of the internet, be it public sources like various pastebins, github, or social media, as well as forums on the darknet. This helps identifying if any company assets have been leaked (by employees unintentionally as well as through potential fraudsters). Additionally it helps us with identifying the severity of vulnerabilities by assessing how many POCs are available or how often certain vulnerabilities are mentioned in related channels.

Everything they find is also available in their own cache. So for example if a pastebin expired, you can still view it later on.
The risk score of vulnerabilities shows actual malicious activity. Image the CVS-Score is medium, but there is a lot of exploit chatter, you want to prioritize fixing this vulnerability.
Their watchlists are easy to set up and offer monitoring your tech-stack, peers, persons of special interest, etc.

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.

We've been able to identify leaked credentials and close those accounts off.
We've also been able to identify malware being distributed or spam being sent out by customers using our infrastructure. Again we could shut off those accounts.
Their domain-monitoring allows us to identify typo-squats and issue domain-takedowns for those (or at least add them to our monitoring / detection)
