"Overall great experience"
What do you like best about Flashpoint?

What has been most helpful about Flashpoint is the relative ease of use. I like that I can navigate to the portions that I utilize easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

I think it could be helpful to have different search functions built into the search bar. For example, if you need to add quotations to a phrase to search that phrase. it would be nice when you click the search function, you can select which type of search you are doing and it prefills with the appropriate things needed for your search.

"I had a great experience and have learned a lot!"
What do you like best about Flashpoint?

I like the search/filter features and most recently, the AI summary capability. That has really helped me filter out a lot of noise and made certain datasets a bit easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

Sometimes images accessed from alerts do not load all the way for me, for some reason. Maybe just be a me problem. There is nothing major that I dislike. BUT if I could ADD something, I would love the ability to communicate with the AI feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A reliable source of truth for threat intel investigations"
What do you like best about Flashpoint?

For me, the biggest value Flashpoint brings is that it’s become a trusted source of truth when we’re validating incidents or potential breaches. If we see news or get alerts from other platforms about our business, a vendor, or a third party being involved in a breach, we can quickly verify it in the platform. The ability to check intelligence pulled from dark web forums and other non-public sources is a huge help in confirming whether something is credible. The daily intelligence standups are also a strong point. They help speed up our internal reporting and dissemination with some high profile or key news stories already reviewed and analysed, which saves us a bit of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

The search functionality can feel a bit inconsistent depending on which section of the platform you’re in. Building alert queries is also a tad clunky and it’s easy to end up with very noisy results if the logic isn’t right. Managing and adjusting alerts can be confusing too, mostly because the way options are accessed has changed since moving from the old version to Ignite and it’s not very intuitive where to find things. That said though, it’s clear FP are working on this and I’ve already noticed improvements based on user feedback, so I expect it’ll get smoother over time. Another thing to note, while the daily intelligence standups are useful, they can feel quite generic at times. For example, you’ll occasionally see a lot of focus on manufacturing related incidents, which aren’t very relevant for financial services. Having those reports tailored a bit more by industry would make them even more valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the notifications my teams and I get from Flashpoint when it hits one our keyword searches. This feature assists in our imminent response to reducing any risk to the bank.
