What do you like best about Flashpoint?

1. Search results typically load faster than they did in FP tools.

2. Actor profiles are very helpful

3. RFI portal is helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

1. We have been involved with Beta testing for months and very key features in fp.tools that we have said we need to see in Ignite are not being integrated (most notably a quick look timeline for search results)

2. We are still getting inconsistencies in results across both platforms

3. Loading failures are still occuring

4. Ignite AI is not useful for the granulatity of research that our analysts do - a lot of the actors we focus on are not the very common ones covered in intelligence products.

5. We understand that Flashpoint is leaning more heavily on the malware and cyber threats focus, but it seems as though it's coming at the expense of the traditional dark web monitoring offierings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flashpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

Access to closed sources and collation point for open and closed sources in relatively easy to use database Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flashpoint?

Flashpoint has the most comprehensive deep and dark web coverage we've seen to date. We love that we can search across ignite for any keyword and get actionable intelligence that can mean the difference between an open and close case investigation. It is easy to add things to ongoing investigations within Flashpoint to collect relegvant data about any one investigation over a long period of time. I love that we can get easy insights into some of the metadata for these findings too. Cross-referencing usernames with posting activity has been invaluable for our Fraud team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

Probably the price, but with one of the best service offerings in the industry you get what you pay for. We could use more than five seats for our organization but price controls prevent us from doing so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flashpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking threat actors across multiple platforms, chats and forums. This is helping us get clues to follow for our existing investigations on who the fraud actors are and what they are attempting to do. Sometimes we can piece together things they're saying on the net with what we see them doing to us. Flashpoint is benefitting me by providing me a lot of valuable data and information that is relevant to many different teams at my organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flashpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flashpoint has been instrumental in identifying threat actors targeting our business. By analyzing discussions on Flashpoint, we've uncovered various methods and tactics they use. Without this tool, we would spend countless hours not only in manual review but also in locating and accessing the necessary sources. Flashpoint significantly streamlines this process.
